Challenge to President Obama's Eligibility to be Heard by 9th Circuit Court
New American ^ | 4/25/2011 | Joe Wolverton, II

Posted on 04/25/2011 9:40:26 AM PDT by GregNH

Arguments in one of the lawsuits challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to be President of the United States has finally worked its way through the California court system and will be heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on May 2. “I can’t believe it, but after two years of Obama litigation, for the first time the court of appeals scheduled oral argument in [the] Obama case,” said Orly Taitz, a California attorney who has litigated a number of challenges to Obama.

Attorneys for the defense aver that the plaintiffs lack standing: If anyone has suffered damages from President Obama’s alleged ineligibility due to his not being a “natural born citizen” per Article II of the Constitution, it is the nation at large, and not the named plaintiffs.

So they got the first case thrown out over the apparently ruled-on fact that Obama would be damaging the entire nation, and not just the plaintiffs? Unbelievable, the dam holding all this info is undoubtedly going to break, the sooner the better.

The republicans continue to act like cowards by refusing to investigate the fraud committed by Obama and the democrats. I have no faith in a republican party that works to protect the criminals in the opposition party. This proves that nobody is looking out for the interests of the American people.

I don’t have much hope for the 9th circuit or ANY court to hear this. Cowards. I guess they’re afraid of *riots* in the streets...I actually had someone tell me that.

Well my question would be; Why would the 9th agree to hear it? So they can squash it? Not a great idea because you have to allow arguments..so I do wonder why they would agree..

I believe this was floated around since the primaries. I believe the Klintoons have the goods on him and gave him one term to avoid the mythical threat of riots and that the Dems will lose the '08 anyway if one dares to deny 0h0m0 a sure shot against McPain to become POTUS!

That said, I STILL believe 0b0z0 won't run for '12. I know, he already announced...fine he couldn't possibly have done otherwise that early and lose the Communist agenda implementation as a lame duck. IMO, he eventually will say that herd... er...family comes first and that America isn't ready for a Black POTUS! Doesn't matter that he wouldn't have won without WHITE VOTE!

The media and Communist pundits are intimating the myth of "there'll be BLOOD IN THE STREETS" and this is holding any opposition hostage, lest they'll be accused "BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.

The people who think about riots and holding back their opposition are effectively under a form of the Stockholm Syndrome.

We should go about our business to remove the Communists and if Blacks and unions want to riot, so be it. Defend your family, property and the Republic.

The government's defense is summarized in this article, essentially that this matter is not justicable and it is up to Congress to decide on the eligibility of a candidate.

I think Orly Taitz makes a better argument. She raises the issue of Obama's fraudulent SSN's and also raises the NBC issue. However, when I looked at the actual complaint on SCRIB a while back, Orly talked about Carter and Carter's law clerk from Perkins Coie, same firm as Bob Bauer.

"The government's defense is summarized in this article, essentially that this matter is not justicable and it is up to Congress to decide on the eligibility of a candidate."

When the court falls in line with the Defense (and we all know they will), let's hope that when it gets appealed to SCOTUS that THEY (finally) live up to the expectations of the framers...that is, interpreting the framers intent with the Constitutional "natural born Citizen" requirement.

Chief Justice John Marshall in his 1821 opinion in Cohens v. Virginia 19 US 264 (1821) said:

"It is most true that this Court will not take jurisdiction if it should not: but it is equally true, that it must take jurisdiction if it should. The judiciary cannot, as the legislature may, avoid a measure because it approaches the confines of the constitution. We cannot pass it by because it is doubtful. With whatever doubts, with whatever difficulties, a case may be attended, we must decide it, if it be brought before us. We have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the constitution. Questions may occur which we would gladly avoid; but we cannot avoid them. All we can do is, to exercise our best judgment, and conscientiously to perform our duty. In doing this, on the present occasion, we find this tribunal invested with appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the constitution and laws of the United States. We find no exception to this grant, and we cannot insert one."

 

A Brief Overview of the Supreme Court

"Jurisdiction. According to the Constitution (Art. III, §2): "The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;-to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;-to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;-to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;-to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State;-between Citizens of different States;—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects."

Not only is "natural born Citizen" as it relates to AII,S1,C5 arising "under" the Constitution...it's IN the Constitution.

i can assure you that the briefs for SCOTUS are ALREADY being written ... chill ... ghostwritten, perhaps, but still powerful enough for an appeal ...


NEVER NEVER discount the Power of Money ...


What if Hillary Clinton and Bush have provided Donald Trump with ALL the daming evidence required ?


What if Trump's (sudden unexpected shocking) denunciations of "Zero" were programmed to go "active" four-eight months BEFORE the SCOTUS review of Obama's non-eligebility ?


What if Trump is SIMPLY the carefully planned "neutral-respected" FIRE ALARM that both the Democrats and Republicans and Wall Street are using to PUBLICIZE the "Birther debate" on U.S. national Television ?


This is EXACTLY EXACTLY how Machevelli would remove Zero from the POTUS ...

I can tell you I remember that article. I have seen it, and it was before it was scrubbed. I didn’t have to use the Wayback site.

By now, the eligibility question should no longer be about Obama but about our NATIONAL SECURITY.

"Natural-born citizen" has ALWAYS been about our national security. However, today there are some chuckleheads who think it's really about "civil rights" -- they say everybody should get to run for/be President; it isn't "fair" otherwise.
