The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.
The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.
WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.
The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

Few things are less effective than hastly concocted legal pleadings particularly when done as a shotgun approach and based on extremely suspect legal underpinnings. I have no idea how the SC will react to additional filings. They may say adding to a load of crap is not particularly to be encouraged.
I would think any case taken before it must be almost air-tight in its legal research and pleadings.
Thanks for those dates. We should remember that there were several federal District Courts rulings prior to that along with the extremely peculiar Florida SC ruling.
Donofrio on Lan’s show right now!
East of Eden was (is)my favorite.
>>> Donofrio on Lan’s show right now!
I’m coming on late. I thought he was in a self-imposed media blackout. What’s going on?
Because of what happened today. He found out that a Judge in lower court in NJ tried to keep his case from going to the SC of NJ and also the SC of US. He filed a suit against a lower NJ court Judge today. The actions of this lower court Judge was to alter Leo’s case motion in such a way that when the US SC called for lower court records, it would appear that Leo did not file things properly in NJ to begin with. Leo will be going public now!!!!!
I grasp what you are contending. There are conflicting contentions; namely from the US State Department Foreign Affairs Manual. I think the USSC sees the need, and the hour is at hand, for them to define some 232 years later, what the founders meant by natural born citizen. I think you see it in black and white. I don’t. Further, when the US State Department states it’s ambiguity in the reading of the matter, then I am inclined to defer to the potential of a USSC ruling.
The issue of allegiance is an interesting basis for citizenship. I can see some merit in this line of thinking. I do not believe that the founders made such a distinction clear, in regards to birth on foreign soil.
Do you have knowledge of citations saying otherwise?
In Bush vs Gore; there were multiple suits from post election, until the mid Dec. USSC rulings. In some respects we are seeing nearly the same thing happening, again; incessant filings. However, the difference this time is that almost all of the filings are completely under the radar.
Leo’s web site has been down and he just said that all of blog text is down. Leo wants to know if anyone out there can get his blog info out over the net. Listen now if you can as I can’t keep up. They will be talking tomorrow too and will talk in a few minutes about how we can help get the news out.
“Because of what happened today. He found out that a Judge in lower court in NJ tried to keep his case from going to the SC of NJ and also the SC of US.”
I have been out of the loop almost all day ...
Can you expand on this? You mean that the lower court NJ judge tampered with Leo’s original filing?
If he did ... Whooooa!!!
Yes! Listen now if you can to him on Lan’s show.

There are various players listed there to. I am getting it just fine on Winamp.
It’s probable that we have many more future POTUS usurpers in cocoon and the USSC would like to nail down eligibiity now, in order to discourage them.
Like another FReep noted, the SC loves opportunites to argue ‘original intent’.
Because if 0 skates on this, and gets a ‘private records’ ruling, Ahhnold is eligible, right?
“Yes! Listen now if you can to him on Lan’s show.”
Missed it - did not have the right player ... downloading WinAmp for next time ...
My daughter is reading Of Mice and Men in her English class. Maybe I’ll borrow the book from her when she’s not reading it and read it again myself.
Reading it again would be a nice respite from our country’s mess, even if it was only for a few hours. I read almost everything my kids read, so I know exactly what they are being given to read in school. In this day and age you can’t be too careful. There are far too many liberal teachers these days.
I heard that the Hawaii hospital that Obama was born in was built 2 years after he was born (lol)...... A Kenyan Ambassador has proclaimed Obama’s birth place in Kenya as a national monument...... Tell the Democrats to explain that!

Wonder if someone has the name of the hospital, and info on when it was established—newspaper archives? Maybe this info is included in Leo Donofrio’s suit.
The believe that the Alan Keyes team has footage of Obama’s grandmother saying that she was present when Obama was born in Kenya.
