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 . . .

(and that you were the first person to jump to insults)
***BZZZT, wrong again. Any lurker can see by following this particular thread lineage that you were the first to insult me in our correspondence, in post #251:

you’re a troll trying to make Freepers look stupid.

What’s that you say? Using your own logic, it “ reveals your well-placed insecurity in your own arguments. Q.E.D.”

The reason this "case" is over is because it never got started. "Evidence" has nothing to do with it. The reality is, the court sees this as political nitroglycerine and after the 2000 debacle is not about to get into it. The potential for a true crisis, with paralysis of the succession and uncharted waters as to what next, all in the context of the current politico-economic and foreign threat quagmire, is far too high.

I would have liked them to make Obama put up too, but after he won a clear electoral victory, it was obvious that was just never going to happen.

...What will happen later when we find out it’s un—true. Partisan Repubs will be unable to breath with all the pie on their face...

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 because he is not a "natural-born citizen" of the U.S. as required by the Constitution.

The AP continues with its usual abysmally wrong reporting.

The docket shows the opposite: the main Berg case has now been scheduled for conference on January 9th, not denied. What was denied were two other motions (08A391, 08A505) under the main case (08-570).

I don’t know what the CertifiGate Troll List is..., I haven’t heard of it or seen it..

It's a list of people who ruin all the fun by showing up on BC threads and ask that the Truther Kool-aid drinkers back up their arguments with facts --something they can't do. The Truthers get frustrated that we don't unquestionably buy this moonbat conspiracy they're selling so they stomp their feet, call us trolls and "0bamabots" and put us on "The List."

Not sure what your mission is, but reading your posts, you seem like the fly that keeps annoying the group at the picnic and provokes swats and curses, and what’s more: you seem to enjoy it, which is notable.

Please, all ... DO NOT confuse me with this Star.

Let's say that sometime in the next four years Obama gets to appoint a new Supreme Court justice.

1. Obama's selection must appear before a committee of Congress before Congress will approve or disapprove him/her.

2. Let's say one of the questions from a committee member is something like this: "Could you please provide the committee with a verified copy of your long form birth certificate---the one with the doctor and birth hospital names on it?"

3. What do you think will happen to Obama's Supreme Court nominee if he refuses to provide such a long form birth certificate---the one with the doctor and birth hospital names on it?

4. In my opinion, I don't think that the nominee will be accepted if he refuses to provide such a long form birth certificate.

5. So, why does the present Supreme Court NOT require Obama to provide his long form birth certificate---the one with the doctor and birth hospital names on it---in order to prove that he, Obama, is eligible to be president? I wish I knew.

Is there anyway that the main post can be altered to include the truth? The MSM has lied to the people again.

The docket shows the opposite: the main Berg case has now been scheduled for conference on January 9th, not denied. What was denied were two other motions (08A391, 08A505) under the main case (08-570).

Since you are so focused on correcting the process, why don’t you lead the charge while others seek to invalidate a candidate that refuses to prove his elligibility?

We all eagerly await your first post on the topic!

Just wait... just wait.

Representative John Linder (R - GA) (co-author of the Fairtax Act/Book) has made an indication that he is going to declare his “objection” during the Congressional Certification of the Electoral College on January 8, 2009.

He believes the BC issue is serious.

We need one Senator to do the same.

Amendments 12 and 20 of the U. S. Constution pertain... www.usconstitution.com .

It is NOT over yet!

I’d be more than happy to stack up my reasoning skills with yours on a forum moderated closely keeping track of the use of classical fallacies & such. I’ve seen dozens of these fallacies coming from the CoLB Troll side of the fence. Unfortunately, Free Republic is not such a place for closely moderated discussion, so trolls such as yourself get to operate freely, just as in the days of tootyfruityrudybots before the bugzapper thread. Unfortunately, the stakes are much higher now, our constitutional republic has taken a severe wound, possibly fatal. But take heart, dear one. Your goals are exactly the same as Obama’s as you generate your keyboard commando raids.

That’s a reasonably good definition of provocateur.
