I’d like to have an expert opinion on this. As I understand it, Souter denied that Berg has standing and denied Berg’s request to delay the election, but left it that Obama must produce a valid birth certificate by December 1.
The question is, what happens if Obama responds on November 30 and asks for a further delay? Or his lawyers or the DNC pull some other ploy? It seems unlikely that SCOTUS will act in a hurry on this.
Although I would be delighted to see this issue brought into the light of day, since I’m convinced that there is something very bogus there, I think the likelier outcome is that Obama will be installed as President but that there will be lingering doubts and questions. But there were lingering doubts and questions all through clinton’s reign, and that didn’t stop him from staying in office and doing pretty much what he liked.
In other words, I’m really unsure what to make of this.
He was some weird 6th or 7th tier VP candidate who sues everyone.. no one important..
Apparently, what started this is that Berg says Souter’s clerk TOLD him about the order to respond.
I posted a link to a Google search for you, mnehrling. Here’s the current page:

Injunction was pending dispensation of this writ of certiorari. That the injunction was denied does not relieve defendant of responsibility to respond by December 1, 2008.
One of the off party VIce presidencial candidates has also filed.
I really want a better source. We will have to dig into this.
Citation? Is the whole thing transcribed? Cause that would be fuel for the fire which I for one would never let go.
Yes I heard.
Keep reading.. researching in thread... pretty much determined typical Berg BS.
I noticed that too Caribou..
That is why I asked for a “ source” as in....authentic verification of the request.
OH I Pray it is SO!!!!

I'm not saying that this won't eventually happen, I'm just being skeptical. Judging from his past record, Souter would seem to be one of the least likely judges on the SCOTUS to get into this.
It IS on Berg’s sight. You just have to hit the right buttons.
I’ve read it, copied it, distributed it. Good Grief
it says “to file” . So anyone know if he has done it. It doesn’t matter if he is a nutcase IF he has standing as VP candidate.
Someone mentioned when this was brought up that maybe only a person who was running as President would have standing.

Ever read Charles Schultz’s Charlie Brown comic strip...

In a word:
YES!
It’s on Phil Berg’s site:
Excerpt:
The defendants are required to respond to the Writ of Certiorari by December first, after which Mr. Berg will have an opportunity to respond.
Court docs are there to download and review too.
ah yes. need you ask
He doesn’t have a birth certificate because he is the ‘messiah’.
