WASHINGTON – Is this the case that will break the presidential eligibility question wide open?
The Supreme Court conferred today on whether arguments should be heard on the merits of Kerchner v. Obama, a case challenging whether President Barack Obama is qualified to serve as president because he may not be a "natural-born citizen" as required by Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.
Unlike other eligibility cases that have reached the Supreme Court, Kerchner vs. Obama focuses on the "Vattel theory," which argues that the writers of the Constitution believed the term "natural-born citizen" to mean a person born in the United States to parents who were both American citizens.

Another statement; in a slightly different context:
If the following politically damaging things were about a republican. The MSM would have had these FRONT PAGE BREAKING NEWS.

Ping to all FReeper lawyers.
sneakers,there have been others that made it to SCOTUS I believe. I am pinging for all lawyers to describe exactly what the SCOTUS link below means.

typical political consort— the supreme Court—sworn to defend the US Constitution but ever afraid to soil their image by
considering any case that suggests that which the Court-and all public officers are sworn to defend has been violated
especially by members of our Government.Typical political whore.
If the libs can’t beat the Tea Party and Glenn Beck in attendance at the Jon Stewart rally I don’t think the turmoil issue is as big as people would like to think it would be.
Sure you’re going to have some problems. There are lots of blacks and whites calling talk shows to say they made a big mistake voting for 0. I think that ‘turmoil’ has become an excuse.
Did you neglect the grandfather clause,”at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,” The eligibility qualifier of
Natural Born Citizen-could not apply under the Constitution until the Constitution was adopted.So IMO the question is moot?
Don’t forget Iran and definitely don’t forget Israel. Israel will be key.
SCOTUS does not believe in the US Constitution.
THey believe in the EU and EU law.
They cannot be trusted.
Good question! Did the Dept of Justice already start their Thanksgiving break? lol
Ought be on permanent display in Congress-perhaps even a contender for the art displayed at the US supreme court building.
My reading is that the Kerchner case has been winding through the courts for quite a time and has been thrown out all along the way with threat of sanctions.
A date was given to Obama to respond to the Apuzzo/Kerchner appeal to SCOTUS. Obama via the Solicitor General waived his right to respond on Nov 3, the day after the election.
So there is nothing that appears in Apuzzo’s timing that forced a waiver on Nov 3. Apuzzo was clearly given time to appeal to SCOTUS after being discharged in lower courts.
The polls showed that the GOP and the TP would be winners in the election several months before the election. I doubt that Apuzzo conjured up a timeline that caused him to think Obama would waive his right to respond on Nov 3 knowing/thinking that the dems would lose power in the House.
This is much ado about nothing.
All indicators point to SCOTUS denying the writ. I think they have many cases in their present conference and this will be thrown out.
However, there is nothing barring the House to take up in January a hearing to review how eligibility was determined in the Obama case. I see nothing restricting the GOP from investigating how Pelosi and the DNC came to the conclusion that Obama was eligible to be placed on the ballot as a presidential candidate.
thanks Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid! for the ping.

“Watch for Obama to create a huge distraction.”
“Attacking North Korea?”
Probably /bingo — although it’s more likely he’ll concentrate on further attacks on the American people, and on the Constitution; and his pattern is to undermine US interests abroad as well.
I couldn’t believe it when Thomas said that. Maybe they were waiting for a case presented on more exact terms. Maybe Appuzo is the one who took the right approach. Who knows?
——Attacking North Korea?——
No, it would be more likely for him to sue Texas for something or other
The first president to be born after the Constitution was ratified was Tyler I believe.

Congress report concedes Obama eligibility unvetted
This could really get amusing, Ya know Obammy already hates the Roberts court.

I’ll believe it when I see it, but here’s hoping!
