Sadly, I doubt any court, including SCOTUS, will get involved in this matter. I hope I’m wrong.

Two cases alread at the SCOTUS 08A407 and 08A391

17 cases from 12 states in the works.

Keyes seems to have the best “standing” so far.

I think you are right. The SCOTUS did not really want to get involved in 2000 but had to after SCOFLA went rogue. Although the leftwing dipshits on the court tried to subvert the Consitution then, I doubt any of them will want to precipitate a Constitutional crisis by even hearing this case. It will remain moot and obama will remain president-elect.

I hope no one is holding their breath. No court will take this up. SCOTUS will find a reason to throw this back on the states.

Even if they have a video tape of the birth, with a doctor taking the blood for DNA tests, while someone holds a GPS with a large display prominently in the foreground...

...SCOTUS will not want to “overturn the will of the people” to select their own president.

Constitutional crisis no one wants and sadly, no court wants this on their record.

That anyone would take the advantage of the goodness of our country, and not feel a drop of remorse, is a real shame.

But that is the democrat party of today. Hanging chads were not enough. Accorn was not enough, they are ruthless and careless with what is the idea of America.

If they could go back in time, any one of them would slap the face of one of our founders on the street and not care a bit.

This I know because they do it every election cycle. More than sad.

The wisdom of the Founders never ceases to amaze me. I just reread Federalist #68 by Alexander Hamiliton. It is quite prophetic. It relates to the Electorial College and why they were put in place to choose the President. May I quote the 5th paragraph?

“Nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal, intrigue and corruption. These most deadly adversaries of republican government might naturally have been expected to make their approaches from more than one quarter, but chiefly from THE DESIRE OF FOREIGN POWERS TO GAIN AN IMPROPER ASCENDANT IN OUR COUNCILS. HOW COULD THEY BETTER GRATIFY THIS, THAN BY RAISING A CREATURE OF THEIR OWN TO THE CHIEF MAGISTRACY OF THE UNION? But the convention have guarded against all danger of this sort, with the most provident and judicious attention. They have not made the appointment of the President to depend on any preexisting bodies of men, who might be tampered with beforehand to prostitute their votes; but they have referred it in the first instance to an immediate act of the people of America, to be exerted in the choice of persons for the temporary and sole purpose of making the appointment. And they have excluded from eligibility to this trust, all those who from situation might be suspected of too great devoltion to the President in office. . . . Thus without corrupting the body of the people, the immediate agents in the election will at least enter upon the task free from any sinister bias.”

Let us hope they are free from any sinister bias. May the miracle we pray for happen. May the truth soon come out. May this false candidate be disqualfied and a true patriot, Democrat or Republican, be chosen by the Electors!

Unfortunately you aren't, at least not IMHO.

But even if a federal court becomes involved and the USSC ultimately grants a writ of certiorari the case probably wouldn't work it's way to that point until half way through the Annointed One's term. I seriously doubt that Kennedy would go along with the four originalists to unseat him part way through his term even if he is proved to be Constitutionally ineligible for the office.

I believe in leading by example. If SCOTUS and POTUS don’t have to obey the law, the rest of us ought to be exempt as well.

I think we should all get to pick and choose just which laws we want to obey and get a pass on the rest.

Do you think this whole idea of selectively ignoring laws started when the Federal Government ceased to enforce any immigration laws? Or does it go back further?

I agree, this won’t go anywhere.

I hope that you're wrong too. Sadly though, I instinctively know that you're not.

You are wrong. Disregarding the Constitution will cause the collapse of rule by law. If the president doesn't follow the Constitution none of us do either.

This is very serious and might well trigger a revolution or massive civil unrest. The financial markets might not survive.
