Obama banks on 'no standing' decision

One of the banks of attorneys assigned to quash demands for documentation that President Obama is constitutionally eligible to occupy the Oval Office is counting on a ruling that American citizens have no "standing" to demand that information.

The attorneys argued in a brief submitted to the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals that any injury to someone whose president is not eligible is the same injury for all people, so the individual has no legal standing to complain.

WND has reported on the case brought by attorney Mario Apuzzo in January 2009 on behalf of Charles F. Kerchner Jr., Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr.

Named as defendants were Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives, former Vice President Dick Cheney and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The case alleges Congress failed to follow the Constitution, which "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate 'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."

The complaint also asserts "when Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama himself was the same." The case contends the framers of the U.S. Constitution, when they adopted the requirement that a president be a "natural born citizen," excluded dual citizens.

I seriously doubt such a thing would happen under a Republican President, and here is why:

The number of folks turning to violence would be small and limited to a number of cities, such as Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. Our nation is bankrupt and cannot continue to bleed money we no longer have just to support people who cannot or will not work. It is those who find themselves no longer thrown entitlements who will riot.

A majority of our citzens have expressed conservative values: the people want immigration laws enforced; the people want healthcare reform but have rejected Obama’s concepts; the people want government to cease propping up bankrupt businesses and banks. These people are not to the kind to go out and riot because we have a conservative President trying to fix fifty years worth of mistakes.

Correction: they excluded people born as dual citizens, even if they renounced one later.

Obama banks on 'no standing' decision

This case is not headed up on review of his citizenship or the place of his birth--no allegation that he was not born in the USA.

Word now is that the 3rd Cir is going to grant review; hold that the parentage concepts incorporated in the "Natural Born" requirement were eliminated by the born in the USA provisions of the 14th Amendment.

When 2012 rolls around and the state election officer starts to work on the issue of compliance with state eligibility for ballot rules, the question of Obama's eligibility is now res judicata--already decided. Forget about that challenge.

That decision can be appealed all the way to the Supreme court whom Obama has gone out of his little commie way to insult and berate...hmmmmm

He may be tired, he may be old, but he ain’t a conservative.

[SatinDoll]

Excuse me, but who are you talking about?

[little jeremiah]

Tired_old_conservative and I’m not courtesy pinging him because I don’t do that for trolls.

Seems to me that John Roberts, and possible also Alito(?), finally are pissed off with the usurper traitor???

This situation is crying out for a USSC decision. The sooner the better. Get a ruling, open the files, and let’s move on (and I don’t mean .org).
