WASHINGTON, (AP) -- Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has rejected two more efforts to get the court to consider whether President-elect Barack Obama is eligible to take office.

Kennedy on Wednesday denied without comment an appeal by Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania attorney, that claims Obama is either a citizen of Kenya or Indonesia and is ineligible to be president . . .

I have the same temptation towards you, so I’m pinging lj to add you to the CertifiGate Troll List. Maybe if you stop using classic fallacies you’ll redeem yourself. Or maybe if you take a critical thinking class. But jumping straight to insults with such little logic behind your position reveals your troll-like weakness.
Oh noes! You're putting me on a list! Will that mean I can't get Chinese food delivered from Hop Sings? That you resort to putting people who disagree with you on a list (and that you were the first person to jump to insults) reveals your well-placed insecurity in your own arguments. Q.E.D.

if only the justices would read freerepublic, then they’d know how to rule...

Berg names, the DNC, FEC and Obama in his lawsuit. It would be the findings of the Court that would determine which is responsible to “vet the candidates”. The constitution does not establish it, the legislation has not made a law regarding it, it has no precedence in the judiciary system. We are indeed in uncharted territory.

With that in mind, IMO the SCOTUS cannot ignore it indefinitely...They have sworn to uphold the Constitution with its requirement for the Executive branch.

IMO the real problem is BO (the Executive branch), has challenged and diminished the power and authority of the Judicial branch before he has even taken office. What will he attempt to do after he is in office?

Yup good news. Obama is starting to sweat again. ;-)

[curth]

Since Minnesota is the only state in which the election is not final, couldn’t Governor Pawlenty refuse to sanction the election and demand that Obama produce the proper birth certificate? Does he have the balls to do it if he could?

Short answer, no. Long answer: Pawlenty is a RINO at heart and the fundamental Constitutional contract isn’t all that relative to such folks now.

The presidential election in Minnesota is final. Only the senatorial election (and some state races) were close enough to require a recount. The Minnesota electors met on Monday and made it official.

Someone should send the Selective Service Registry information to the Globe. They seem to be the only one interested in printing controversy.

It means that some have been trying to float the lie that Berg’s case is dead at SCOTUS. These folks are liars working the obamanoid side of the street, pretending to be thoughful conservative posters. The fact that it will be brought up in conference January 9th means that the case is not dead and that the Justices will discuss the issues and decide whether to grant certiori (full hearing before the bench) or not. Go back through this thread as an example of these agitprops trying to ‘astroturf’ (you can look that one up on mikipedia, to learn about David Axelrod’s little deceits) the issue at FR.

[MHGinTN]

BTW, welcome to FR, n00bie. [N00b is the not so nice version, n00bie is the friendlier version.]
