After being denied, dismissed and otherwise turned back in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, and the New Jersey Supreme Court, retired lawyer and professional poker player Leo Donofrio is taking the ultimate gamble and bringing his eligibility-related action before the United States Supreme Court. Donofrio, however, alleges that he has already been dealt a poor hand.
THE CASE
In his action filed against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells, Donofrio contends that Wells has not fulfilled her duty as Secretary of State to independently verify the constitutional qualifications of the presidential candidates before placing them on the ballot in the Garden State. Specifically, Donofrio notes in the brief accompanying the Application for Emergency Stay filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, Wells was required by N.J.S.A. 19:13-22 to make a statement in which she certifies and signs off on the names of the candidates on the ballots. The statute, in relevant part with emphasis added:
The Secretary of State, not later than eighty-six days before any election whereat any candidates nominated in any direct petition or primary certificate of nomination or State convention certificate filed with him are to be voted for, shall make and certify, under his hand and seal of office, and forward to the clerks of the several counties of the State a statement of all such candidates for whom the voters within such county may be by law entitled to vote at such election.

It’s obviously not just going to go away.
Not until he produces an original long-form birth certificate.
Did I hear that somebody turned up a birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper for O’s birth? Or was that as true as the “official” copy of his BC on his website?
What happens if it’s proven before January 20th that he isn’t eligible? I don’t think Biden becomes President because the election itself becomes invalid. It’s not like he was impeached or something happened to him.
'Pecked to death by chickens' comes to mind. I don't know if this will ever get any great traction, but if it serves to keep Obama stumbling I'm all for it.
They did, means nothing.
If before the 20th then the electorial college votes for whoever they want to. IMHO
Question #2 — It is true, is it not, that O and the DNC are/were paying lawyers to fight the release of the BC? If they are really fighting this thing, then that’s just another amazing example of media bias, as that’s the sort of thing (paying attorneys to cover up a simple fact) that would normally attract a HUGE amount of press coverage.
Yes I think we are going to have to put this issue to rest because the announcement in the newspaper(s) show he was born in Hawaii .
Hawaii has two major newspapers, the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin. both report his birth on 4 august .
Now this info was sent directly by the hospital to the Department of vital stats who in turn sent it to the paper. Therefore its got to be the real deal.
Lets focus now on what happened when Lolo Soreto Adopted 0 .
did he legally adopt him ? if yes did he become Barry Soreto ?
This is an even bigger Q that where he was Bron because it indicates possibly dual citizenship . This could make him ineligible . Just thinking ..........
Any mention of a star, a manger, a virgin, wise dudes or frankincense ?
Well, if a newspaper said it, it's just got to be true!
Welcome to FR.
“Well, if a newspaper said it, it’s just got to be true!”
Look its not the newspaper who said it . It was the newspaper that printed the info .
Ok I will stop saying anything because I have no clue as to how these things work in America .
Somebody needs to do a photoshop of little 0 in a crib in a stable with the 3 kings and incense .
If it’s found that Obama is ineligible, then there will be a scramble between Biden, Hillary and possibly McCain for Obama’s delegates. Unless 270 of them go for the same candiate, then Congress will decide the election. Unfortunately for McCain, the Democrats control most state Congressional delegations, meaning he doesn’t have a chance.
The newspapers don’t necessarily get this information from the hospitals. Parents can place the notices in the paper themselves, much like engagement announcements and extended obits.
No wise dudes, but more than enough wise guys to go agound.
you left out the riots. Don’t forget the riots.
It is dated >86 days before the election
