U.S. Supreme Court Refuses One of Phil Berg’s Cases
Ballot Access News ^ | 1/12/2009 | ed. Richard Winger

Posted on 01/12/2009 10:21:48 AM PST by Jack Black

Pennsylvania attorney Phil Berg, who filed the first lawsuit on whether President-Elect Barack Obama meets the constitutional qualifications for president, had had two requests pending in the U.S. Supreme Court, both called Berg v Obama. On January 12, the U.S. Supreme Court again denied Berg’s request for injunctive relief. Berg’s alternate request, that the Court take the case for full review, is on the January 16 conference. Odds are extremely high that it will also be denied, but that won’t be known until January 21. The Court is closed on January 19 and January 20.

Seems like a pretty straight forward update from a some-what known source. Not a lot more on this out there right now.

Will likely be denied again. Unfortunately, the evidence is on the people saying he isn’t a U.S. citizen. I don’t like it either and do question his citizenship myself. But, that’s how it works.

When you put it like that, it is a ‘show me your papers comrade’ case.

Obviously no-one in any branch of government gives a d**n about the Constitution.

What a farce!

Kinda left out this part:

08-570 BERG, PHILIP J. V. OBAMA, BARACK, ET AL.
The motion of Bill Anderson for leave to file a brief as
amicus curiae is granted.

Bill Andersons’ brief here:

And you skipped right by this part:

"The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied."

The Supreme Court will not consider the case until the lower courts have done their work. Berg's case was dismissed in the Pennsylvania District Court because he lacked standing. The next step is the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals and not the Supreme Court.

Gee, this is such a surprise. God forbid that the SCOTUS actually do the job that the American taxpayers are paying them to do!!

I knew that they would deny the case. Before they ever decide that maybe they should have heard one of these cases, the First Fraud will have completed his first (and, hopefully, ONLY) term in office.

I suppose we’re all innocent until proven guilty.

That was pretty much in the original article already...

“The next step is the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals and not the Supreme Court.”

Is that where they’ll hear Bill Andersons’ brief as well?

Here's the entry in today's Supreme Court orders:

08-570 BERG, PHILIP J. V. OBAMA, BARACK, ET AL.
The motion of Bill Anderson for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied.

Who is Bill Anderson?

They've already read Anderson's brief. The rules of the Supreme Court require that all parties have 10 days advanced notice before an amicus brief is filed. When he filed his brief, Anderson requested that the rule be waived in this case. "The motion of Bill Anderson for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted" means that the Court agreed to waive the deadline and accept his brief. "The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied" means it didn't make any difference. The court will not hear the matter. Not until lower court appeals are exhausted.

They are. The fact that you may not agree with their decisions doesn't change that.

I suspect that is the right assumption. However some of the suggested consequences to consider are scary.

The SCOTUS is not a political body, or isn’t supposed to be one at least, but letting this issue work its way through the courts is a great political idea.

OK, so this finally gets MSM attention when some circuit judge in PA demands that Obama produce the birth certificate. He doesn’t, but just fights the matter procedurally, and tries to use the COLB. The water heats up a bit.

The matter gets appealed to subsequently higher courts, while Obama spends more money being creative but still doesn’t offer proof.

By the time it reaches the SCOTUS, there is now a national groundswell, “President Obama, just produce your birth certificate.” Now, the MSM can’t stop the media juggernaut, and the fraud is exposed. Sure, the blacks will riot, but it will only be them. The liberals will be shamed, as will the students and the latte-sippers in New York and LA. Also, the Dems will be ruined for a generation — their “hope and change” President was a fraud and lied to the American people.
