A briefing schedule has been announced by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a case alleging Congress failed in its constitutional duties by refusing to investigate the eligibility of Barack Obama to be president, according to an attorney handling the challenge.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo filed the action in January on behalf of Kerchner, Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. Named as defendants were Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The case focuses on the alleged failure of Congress to follow the Constitution. That document, the lawsuit states, "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate 'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."
The case asserts "when Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama himself was the same."

Anyone that is now willing to say that Obama is somehow Cheney’s fault... is freaking nuts.

~~PING!
Hell, maybe he could even plead guily just to move things along. Then the RATs might have to defend him just to cover their own butts. This could end up being great fun!!
Pelosi and the Democrats colluded to circumvent the US Constitution.
No, but the Democrats certainly did.
Who supposedly did that ?
President of the Senate.ll, yes... he could be.
That may be grandstanding, but I’m not sure that it is.

That may be grandstanding, but I’m not sure that it is.
I don’t know who it was - but I did see photographs of it, and the Congressman had definitly stood and raised his arm at the proper time, signaling VP Cheney that he wanted to challenge the nomination. The man never had a chance as Cheney didn’t ask the question. I believe Nancy Pelosi stood, spoke loudly over him and led the chamber in applause.
The photos I saw were on the Texasdarling blogg site and no longer exist, which is too bad as she had one hell of a lot of good information archived.
And this person who stood up didn’t speak out as well ?
Watch the video very carefully beginning around 3:45.
VP Cheney keeps glancing up and to his left. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Nazi Pelousy jumps up and starts clapping with a huge grin like some circus clown.
If you listen there seems to be a couple of voices raised but are immediately drowned out by loud cheers.
At 4:07 as the camera pans the room in the far lower left you can see a tall bearded man with his hand UP...not clapping. That would be my Congressman, Steven LaTourette. Standing next to him is little Dennis Kucinich.
It is entirely possible that LaTourette was indeed trying to object.
If so, why wouldn’t he be yelling .. demanding to be heard?
Actually, I was shocked to see that it was he that appeared to be trying to object. He is a bit of a RINO, but better than most from this state.
When I saw this video a while back I had fully intended to call his office and ask if he was indeed trying to object.
Then I decided to wait for a Town Hall and ask him personally. May have a chance of getting an answer that way.
Didn’t you ever ask him if he was
going to object?
No...I was out of town when he held the only Town Hall that I knew about.
Boy .. if I thought my critter might
have been poised to object, I’d sure
contact him .. phone, fax, email ..
something.
But still .. anyone who had the conviction
to do that should’ve stood up and yelled it
out, if need be, if that’s what he believed
and was determined to do.
And here we are.
If you bring Cheney into this, it will be on like Donky Kong.
“...supposed to ask the House members “who challenges the nomination? It is traditional...”
-
I have never heard this stated before.
Can you please point me to a source?
