The Entire Supreme Court NOW Reviewing One of Many Obama Birth Certificate Issues! Posted by a_son_of_liberty on Thursday, November 20, 2008 12:00:00 AM No, this is not another Philip Berg lawsuit! This is yet another case that apparently is getting the attention of the entire court. But the press is OH SO SILENT! The web has a paucity of info regard this case. Obama regards these birth certificate challenges as "garbage." Well, let's see what kind of "garbage" has seized the attention of the entire Supreme Court! Having reviewed the cases myself (I am an MD that admittedly has only ONE year of law school under my belt...at Arizona State University) I do not see an out for Obama if he was born in Kenya as his paternal grandmother testifies. Kenya does not allow (and did not allow) dual citizenshup. Our Constitution required a NATIVE born candidate. Obama's mother simply did not domicile long enough in Hawaii after his birth for "vertical transmission" of native citizenship to occur. The photoshopped certificate of live birth posted on his web site DOES NOT PROVE that he was born in the USA. It was Hawaii's policy to sequester the surrendered foreign birth certificate, and to issue a new Hawaiian "duplicate" certification of live birth. Providing Obama's paternal grandmother is telling the truth (she is alive and well) there are no apparent loopholes in the law with which Obama can circumvent our very straightforward Constitution. The Justices would have to literally legislate from the bench to get around this one! Good luck and hopefully good riddance. trashingthetruth.blogtownhall.com

Court won't review Obama's citizenship Tom Ramstack (Contact) Tuesday, December 9, 2008 UPDATED: The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to hear one of the appeals challenging whether President-elect Barack Obama's citizenship disqualifies him from becoming president. The court's order said only that, "The application for stay addressed to Justice [Clarence] Thomas and referred to the court is denied." Leo C. Donofrio, a New Jersey lawyer who filed the case, argued that Mr. Obama had British citizenship when he was born, thus disqualifying him from being president under the Constitution's requirement of being a "natural-born citizen." "My case is done," he said. "I'm perfectly comfortable with their decision." Preventing Mr. Obama from becoming president was less of a consideration for him than ensuring constitutional law is followed, he said. "I'm not worried about Barack Obama, I'm worried about the precedent of law," Mr. Donofrio said. "This sets a precedent for someone who doesn't have a tie to this country" to become president. Birth records show Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father who was then a British citizen. His father's citizenship made Mr. Obama both American and British, Mr. Donofrio argued. More than a dozen lawsuits have challenged Mr. Obama's presidency based on his citizenship. Two are pending before the Supreme Court. One appeal, filed by Pennsylvania lawyer Philip J. Berg, argues that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya and that his "certification of live birth" from Hawaii is falsified. Hawaiian officials said the birth records correctly list Mr. Obama's birth as Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu. A federal court in Pennsylvania dismissed Mr. Berg's lawsuit, which prompted his appeal to the Supreme Court. An appeal by a Connecticut man challenges the legitimacy of the presidential election based on questions of Mr. Obama's eligibility as a dual national at birth. The high court is scheduled to discuss whether to grant that case a hearing at a private conference Dec. 12. washingtontimes.com
