As of this writing, December 6th, the Supreme Court has not yet announced whether or not it will take up the Donofrio case, or any other case concerning Obama’s constitutional eligibility for the office of President.
Yet there is no more important issue before the court today and the clock is ticking.
(snip)
The Supreme Court of the United States of America has but one primary obligation to the American people, and that obligation is to use the power afforded it under Article III—Section I of the Constitution, to uphold, protect and preserve the U.S. Constitution, the Charters of Freedom, and provide equal justice for all, without regard to personal political leanings or ambitions…

I know the announcement is due tomorrow, but i want to caution folks that not all the BC eggs are in this one basket of a case.
It is entirely possible that the justices want to hear the controversy, but do not believe this is the right case to do it.
i wish i was a fly on the wall for that conference, because i suspect it was a doozy.

Sometimes it just takes one person. I would like to be a fly on the wall too.
That's part of the problem with the Supreme Court - you can't FORCE them to do anything. They're unelected dictators, if they choose to be. They can rule that the First Amendment means that no on can criticize anyone with the name of "Smith", and their ruling has the full force of the law behind it. TS if you don't like it.
The Supreme Court should not and cannot ignore the Constitution!
The risk is too large to ignore. Should Obama goes on to be President, and at some point later turn out to be a fraud.
Every decision and appointment he made will be NULL and VOID !!!
“The question whether the judges are invested with exclusive authority to decide on the constitutionality of a law has been heretofore a subject of consideration with me in the exercise of official duties. Certainly there is not a word in the Constitution which has given that power to them more than to the Executive or Legislative branches.” —Thomas Jefferson to W. H. Torrance, 1815. ME 14:303

Just how do WE force the SCOTUS to do anything, much less our bidding???
And just how do we know for SURE that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen?
You’re right. We’ve gone to war for less. What can be more important than upholding the Constitution? There is nothing more important than defending the Constitution, the law of the land. This is no mere “interpretation of the Constitution” argument, like the “right to privacy”. This is black and white. Either this person is qualified as outlined clearly and succinctly by the Aritcle II Section 1, or he’s not. Are the facts surrounding his life circumstances true or not? Was his father a British subject at the time of his (NObama’s) birth or not? Does that give him dual citizenship, at best? Which is not good enough. This is not that hard to determine.
This is not “our bidding.” It is their obligation. But we both know that ONLY “conservatives” care about the constitution and the duty of the court to uphold it today.
So, if we fail to unite behind all efforts to force them to do their duty, then we fail the republic just as much as anyone else.
The burden of proof is not on us, it is on Obama to provide proof that he meets all constitutional requirements for the office he seeks. It has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt, that he has failed to provide any such proof.
It's no more complicated than that. But the implications are far more reaching!
Loads of supposed “conservatives” are saying they will not touch it, let’s get them in 2010 and 2012 nonsense.
Leo gets it. It is about the power of citizens over a corrupt legislative and executive (to be) branches of govt. The judicial branh is the 3 branch that is supposed to protect the Constitution and citizenry against abuses by the other two branches of govt. Each branch is supposed to check the others power.
Where are the coward conservative talk show hosts?
Ahh, no it doesn't [see tag line].
EXACTLY!
There is no more simple question and no more serious threat to the rule of law.
It amazes me how many want to give it a complete pass. Americans clearly have trouble seeing past the end of their own nose these days...
Read the Constitution. SCOTUS purpose is to check the power and stop abuses by the Legislative and Executive branches of govt. In this cases Sec of State in each state and Obama’s “admin.” The Constitution and the laws are supposed to be enforced and it is not happening.
We know for sure that Obama is going out of his way to not rpovide the information and we know for sure his dada was a British citizen which makes Obama ineligble - period.

I am glad to see you might consider this Donofrio case of enought merit to at least read about. Your responce to me (below) from another thread was not so soft spoken. We all are here to seek the truth and everyone is working towards that end.

Put a sock in it.
If you want to review my posting history about the BC cases, be my guest. it goes all the way back to analyzing the actual complaint and motion papers, as well as the decision filed in the berg case.

AND MY REPLY WAS:
Well, I find it difficult to “put a sock in it”. The fact that that all nine SC Justices referred the Donofrio case to Conference is important. They must have felt it had merit to at least consider. The decision to hear the case fully (or not) will come out tomorrow as far as I know.
Who knows what will happen? I sure don’t but will trust in the SC decision. I am continuing to seek the truth and certainly want to be corrected if I state something that is not factual.
You mentioned the Berg case. I can see where that case may have been considered to not have merit. I really have been more focused on the Donofrio case and the great detail his research is on his web site. Tomorrow we will know if the Justices (at least four) think his case should be fully heard. :)
Americans will trample a Wal-Mart worker to death over a blue light special...
But watch what they do over a constitutional crisis that will seat a foreign enemy of the state in the Oval Office...
They are just too busy with the NFL and American Idol for such trivial pursuits...
Correct. They will weasel out of making a tough decision, just like all politicians do.
