Ping to #220 above from deport.

Rumor has it that Leo Donofrio and Steve Pidgeon have been retained by some auto dealers to file a quo warranto in D.C. Challenging Obama’s eligibility to hold the office of POTUS. If this rumor is true, this will be the first serious chance to get a SCOTUS ruling on the definition of NBC.

Bravo, first time you said something positive!!!

Can you explain why you think that this will be a serious chance to get a SCOTUS ruling on the NBC definition? How do auto dealers have any more standing than, say, active or retired military servicemembers? And how are they going to explain the connection between Obama's NBC status/eligiblity and what the bankruptcy court did - or even what Obama did? I'm missing something. As I understand it, they would have to demonstrate that Obama did what he did *because* of his NBC status. Stated another way, they have to show that the only reason Obama did [the long list of complained-of actions relating to GM/Chrysler] was *because* he was not an NBC. Otherwise, there's no connection between his role in the bankruptcy proceedings and NBC - which means that they will not be able to litigate NBC. If he did what he did because he's a [... insert favorite adjective here /socialist/communist/etc ...] liberal, then, NBC will not be at issue.

Additionally, how do they propose to get around the rules requiring that any quo warranto be brought by the AG? What's they're "special interest" that overrides the statute?
