Methinks, the SCOTUS is COMING!!!!

On December 5, 2008, only ten days before the electoral college votes, the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will meet in private to review Obama's citizenship status.
Leo Donofrio's case, "Leo C. Donofrio, v. Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey, United States Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407," regarding Obama's citizenship has reached a new level. The case has been "distributed for conference."
This docketing today by the court should send ripples of fear through the Obama camp. Obama has been proceeding at lightening speed to put together a cabinet and take possession of the White House with the hope that he won't have to answer the question of whether or not he was "at birth" a "natural born citizen."
Every major news network, print and cable news like FOX, CNN and MSNBC, have ignored all the court cases challenging Obama's eligibility as sore losers or conspiracy theories. It might be in their best interest at this point to report this critically important meeting to take place on December 5, 2008, or lose what little credibility they have left.
If four of the nine Justices vote to hear the case in full review, oral argument may be ordered. The conference is scheduled for December 5, 2008, ten days before the meeting of the Electoral College…
The case originally sought, pre-election, to have the names of Barack Obama, John McCain, and Roger Calero removed from New Jersey ballots, and for a stay of the "national election" pending Supreme Court review of whether those candidates were eligible under the Constitution as natural born Citizens, as is required by Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States.
Leo Donofrio brought his case from a lower New Jersey court to the NJ Supreme Court -- was denied -- and then he filed an emergency stay application in the United States Supreme Court on Nov. 3, 2008, before the Honorable Associate Justice David Souter. Justice Souter denied the emergency stay application on Nov. 6.
Leo Donofrio renewed the application, as per Supreme Court Rule 22.4, to the Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas by way of Express mail on Nov. 14. The application arrived at the Supreme Court on Nov. 17 and was submitted directly to Justice Thomas.
On Nov. 19, the case was docketed for full conference of all nine Justices and scheduled for December 5, 2008. It is not known at this time the exact details of how the case came to be "DISTRIBUTED for Conference".
Background on "The Justices Conference" is discussed as follows by the Supreme Court Historical Society:
"No outsider enters the room during conference. The junior Associate Justice acts as "doorkeeper," sending for reference material, for instance, and receiving it at the door...
Five minutes before conference time, 9:30 or 10 a.m., the Justices are summoned. They exchange ritual handshakes and settle down at the long table. The Chief sits at the east end; the other Justices sit at places they have chosen in order of their seniority…
The Chief Justice opens the discussion, summarizing each case. The senior Associate Justice speaks next, and comment passes down the line. To be accepted for review, a case needs only four votes, fewer than the majority required for a decision on the case itself. Counsel for the litigants are directed to submit their printed briefs so that each Justice has a set several weeks before argument.
“The American people need to know that their President is eligible to be President.”
Yes they do. However, there are many Americans who voted for Obama who are unaware of how our government works. If it is found that Obama is not a native born citizen of the USA, and the process begins to prevent him from taking office, I fear these uninformed Americans may be rioting! God bless us all if that happens.
“Perhaps Obama will fall back on Plan B, and explain that he wasn’t really born in Hawaii, but descended straight from heaven.”
Perish the thought.
“MSM lost all credibility a very long time ago.”
With us, yes. But not with the majority who choose to live in ignorance. (Sadly.)
I can’t explain it. Last week (I think) Rush mentioned the issue in passing — but nothing after that as far as I know.
It would be nice if Hannity would address this on his talk show. He’s spending so much time sucking up to lib callers and ignoring all others, that I guess covering actual news is out of the question.
Please add me to the COLB ping list.
Thanks in advance.
President Biden
He’d be better than Obama. But wouldn’t the dems have to forfeit the election entirely?
That’s the reason this has to be off and running BEFORE he’s sworn in.
A civil war? There will be one; the only question is “When?” I say bring it on.
Methinks, the SCOTUS is COMING!!!!
OK...I’M A LITTLE BEHIND HERE ON THIS ONE. AFI?...TAPE?....MICHELLE OBAMA? WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE ON THIS TAPE AND WHO IS THE AFI? AS YOU CAN TELL I’M NEW AT THIS AND NEED IT EXPLAINED SO I CAN KEEP UP.
Just like a Classical Greek Tragedy....the heroe’s hubris and arrogance result in his eventual demise.
You must be new to the internet, too. Turn the Caps Lock off, genius.

If he is not natural-born, and if, as I suspect, the powers-that-be know this but choose to ignore it to avoid controversy, then we have without doubt exchanged our Republic for despotism.
If that happens, then everyone might as well disregard the law and do as they please, for it will have become crystal clear that our government no longer respects our Constitution or the rule of law.
Being the Editor of Harvard Law Review is what gave him cover from all other inquiries.
Everyone just assumed that he ws qualified.
I forgot about the editor thing. Thanks.
“They exchange ritual handshakes”
Fist bumping!
From the above government website.
If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each State delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.
It sounds like you’re interested in Michelle’s latest rant.
It can be found through the (AFI) African Fournikation Institute.
Simply wire transfer or charge 10,000 USD to AFI and they will send you a copy of the ‘Michelle Unplugged’ tape.
