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.
A liberal rag NAME LIST? I thought that my “Left Angeles Times” was pretty good.
From the TV media, there is CNN (Clinton News Network). And then there is Democrat news produced by NBC, ABC and CBS. They provide Democrat propaganda disguised as news. They seek to win elections in any manner possible- preferably with dishonesty and misconception.
The best way to handle them is to turn them off! With poor ratings, they then get fired

Why not just say the letters Ape-y?
Thanks, Candor7.
CottonBall, you’re added to the list.

Colloquuntur equidem cum ista eo tantum, quod scortum perfectum esse videtur.
OK, there's Thomas, Scalia, Alito and Roberts. If any one of them cracks, it's over. But hey, we have more than a snowball's chance in hell now. I'll take it!
Oh yeah, and to hell with the media.
I think that there may be two other judges who will be willing to look at this — Breyer and even Souter.
thanks Beckwith! KENYAN AMDASSADOR ping ping ping!
Sounds like a Kenyan to me!!
Can we get him to send photographs of the obamashrine?
Was it not turned down by one Supreme Court clerk and is it not set it for conference Dec. 5th by Judge Clarence Thomas?
Thanks for all the pings. Things are really breaking hard and fast now. I’m beginning to see some “Hope” and “Change”.
Thanks, LucyT
Major Ping.
So, what was the story about a Chicago visit for Stanley Ann?
That is no guarantee that the entire court will take it up. Since the lower court dismissed it and one justice turned it down already the odds are not in its favor.
Berg’s case was turned down by Souter (or his clerk). It dealt with the actual birth certificate didn’t it? I thought that the case before Judge Thomas, submitted by Donofrio, addressed the definition of “natural born,” and actually called into question (again) McCain’s eligiblity as well as Obama’s.
I was recalling the quote at #218 that mentioned Chicago, but was mistaken about her visit.
