I don’t believe that any of the 7 cases (or for that matter any other case) was ever ruled on by lower courts....There has been no Court, at any level, that has actualy ruled that Obama is, or, is not, an NBC as per the US Constitution.
Of course I could have missed one .... could you provide me a link to any courts ruling on Obama’s NBC , so that I might educate myself, (and would love to read the ruling and it’s rational that Obama is an NBC).... A dismissal is NOT a Ruling....it is an acknowlegement of a defect in the suit’s filing....that says nothing of the underlying validity/non validity of the central question of Obama’s NBC eligibility...
Judge Carter, in dismissing Alan Keys suit, indicated that the proper court to bring his (Keyes) suit was the DC District Court and filed as a Quo Warrento brief.....have there been any cases so brought, and RULED upon? Or are attorneys so deaf that none have been filed?
In the cases you cite the plaintiffs sent their briefs directly to the USSC without fixing the defects in their filings, or by filing in the proper court, believing the validity of the brief would overcome the process....
It is therefore no wonder the Supremes refused to issue a Writ of Cert......as I said they are not a Trier of Fact....there must be a ruling of a lower court first....
Chief Justice Roberts’ fumbling of Obama’s Oath of Office, not once, but twice, tells me that he realizes Obama does not meet Constitutional Presidential requirements... maintaining Judicial decorum proved difficult for him......
Removing Obama must follow an orderly process with all i’s dotted and t’s crossed because of a prescedent setting removal of a sitting President by judicial ruling...It must be done with very strict, and within very narrow, grounds, because an intemperate ruling would wreck havoc upon our tradition of orderly Executive Office power transfer....a consideration that in the end, may outweigh the question of ruling upon Obama’s eligibility........
My crystal ball broke decades ago when I was 7...... Nonetheless I can still see farther than the ground directly in front of me......
A dismissal of a lawsuit because the plaintiff did not have legal standing to sue IS a ruling (an adjudication) by the court. If someone sued you and the judge dismissed their suit because they had no grounds to sue you, didn’t you still win?
Every one of the seven Obama eligibility lawsuits that was rejected for a Writ of Certiorari by the US Supreme Court was heard and dismissed at a lower level state or federal court. That is why they were appealing to the “court of last resort.”
(1) Berg v Obama was heard in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals before being denied by the US Supreme Court.
(2) Craig v US was heard by the US District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals and it was denied by the US Supreme Court.
(3) Donofrio v Wells was heard first in a New Jersey State Court, then by the New Jersey Supreme Court before being denied by the US Supreme Court.
(4) Herbert v Obama et. al. was heard in the Middle District of Florida US District Court and was then denied a Writ of Certiorari by the US Supreme Court.
(5) Lightfoot v Bowen was heard and dismissed by the California Supreme Court and submitted to Justice Kennedy at the US Supreme Court. It was denied by Justice Kennedy and resubmitted to Chief Justice Roberts. It was denieda again at Justices’ conference.
(6) Schneller v Cortes was dismissed by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and denied by the US Supreme Court.
(7) Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz was dismissed by the Connecticut state court and denied a Writ of Certiorari by the US Supreme Court.
Kerchner et. al. v Obama et. al was dismissed by US District Court in New Jersey and is pending in the US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.
Only two courts have rendered decisions on Obama’s eligibilty, The Marion County, Indiana Superior Court and the Indiana Court of Appeals. In the case of “Ankeny et. al v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels” the plaintiffs sued to stop Indiana’s governor from allowing Obama’s (and McCain’s) Electoral votes from being certified due to the fact that neither was a natural born citizen. The Superior Court and the Court of Appeals ruled that both Obama and McCain qualify for Indiana’s electoral votes as natural born citizens with respect to Article 2, Section 1 of the US Constitution. The plaintiffs argued that Obama was not natural born because his father was not an American citizen. The courts rejected that argument.
You can read the Ankeny decision at the following link. Scroll down to page 10, Section B “Natural Born Citizen” for the 3 Judge panel’s rationale.

Just last week the Indiana Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal in “Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels.”
I believe Arkeny v. Daniels (you can Google it) is the only case to have ruled on the merits, not on standing. It holds that both Obama and McCain were natural born citizens.
