Good question. They have ignored it so far, now it will be more difficult to do so.
Is it true they were roommates in NY?
Well they lived close to each other in New York at the same time.
Obama’s childhood friend and mentor Frank Marshall Davis knew Thomas Ayers, and some think that Davis and Ayers sent Obama to New York on purpose.
Actually, it doesn’t say run. It says eligible. But, as per the state ELEC offices, the party putting the candidate on the ballot has to vet the candidate.
This is where Philip Berg’s suit has a standing. They didn’t respond to Berg’s suit either which was two parts. Fine, if Berg doesn’t have a standing on vetting Obama, so be it. But he, as a democrat, did have standing in challenging the DNC. The judge has no right throwing that out.
If a person is not eligible TO the office how could they run FOR it?
Anyway,
I think the judge sort of summarily punted the whole thing by saying his court didn't have jurisdiction on the case. What followed was really irrelevant, why include it? Unless you had a political point to make, and a platform for an attempt at discrediting Berg.... Who wrote this Opinion?
bump!
sorry for double post
I thought that this judge was a Republican.
Nobama's $600+ millions from all over the world talks!!!
>>>If a person is not eligible TO the office how could they run FOR it?
That hair will be forever spliced by the double speak of an attorney.
“Its BAD enough that we have trial lawyers who use delay to kill a lawsuit with time.... Now we have Judges doing it.”
I think the failure to dismiss initially, compared with the subsequent opinion rendered, speaks volumes. THat said, there have been some criticisms of the quality of Berg’s actual complaint here on FR which may have impacted the credibility of the suit overall, viewed from outside.
What I am saying is that, when one person (presumably with family) is unexpectedly placed under the gun with a huge inverted pyramid of pressure upon them, and possible consequences which clearly could include life or death for people related to them (unless you think no one ever kills for the highest political stakes in the world), you will find that most folks don’t want to be martyrs, and particularly don’t want their families to live under collateral involuntary martyrization threat.
Also, in the time since the original suit, the election situation has changed dramatically with the financial crisis (ongoing). The judge, like many, may consider obama’s election much more likely now and may have simply looked for the noble way to bow out.
I certainly hope this is included in Sean Hannity’s program tomorrow evening at 9PM!!!
“A great quote indeed, but the G. A. is not a corollary to the Constitution and thus has no judicial weight.
“It’s kinda like citing the Golden Rule as an extension of the Ten Commandments”
Oops. Your first sentence was correct, but your simile was not. The same God that gave the 10 Commandments also gave the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The underlying Source and Lawgiver was the same in both cases.
Alan Keyes was brought in from Maryland to run against him. Apparantly Illinoians were afraid of his goons after Patrick Ryan was destroyed by the media and Obama.
You and I and just about everyone on FR knows why "something doesn't work." That "something" is the leadership of today's Democrat Party, which thinks that the Constitution of the United States doesn't apply to them, and they can therfore nominate a constitutionally ineligible candidate for POTUS! This is so brazen and so unprecedented an attempt at a dictatorship that it seems we don't have appropriate laws and procedures on the books to deal with it.
“The State Department would know and would have known long ago if Obama’s birth certificate was real or not. Why has no one acted if they know? Those people hadn’t voted when Obama was vetted for the committees he sits on, or when he got his passport.”
Interesting, isn’t it? Are we to assume the lack of any clear leak on this topic means that he was born in hawaii regardless of what other data appears on his colb, or that State is so heavily politicized that this info could be successfully suppressed?
The crazy thing is, I don’t know which is more likely.
He was opposed in the Primary but his opponents were undermined by his goons or no threat.
