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

Is the Obama Administration Marching to the Tune of the Animal-Agenda Army? [Sterling Burnett] When the Humane Society of the United States endorsed then-nominee Barack Obama for president, those analysts who track the animal-liberation lobby were put on high alert. Despite now-president Obama's claim that his policies will be driven by science, not politics, recent events have only reinforced the fear that sound wildlife management and progress in human health and medical research will be thrown under the bus as payback to his radical animal-rights supporters. Evidence: 1) President Obama has appointed Cass Sunstein to be his "regulatory Czar," that is, to serve as adminstrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Sunstein is on record as calling for a ban on most hunting and more restrictions on the use of animals for entertainment and in medical and product testing. 2) President Obama's pick for EPA adminstrator, Lisa Jackson, was described by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility as "employing a highly politicized approach to decision-making that resulted in suppression of scientific information, issuance of gag orders and threats against professional staff members who dared to voice concerns." One instance which would seem to confirm this view was when, at the behest of Governor John Corzine, she overrode the opinion of the professional wildlife experts and cancelled New Jersey's bear-hunting season. This despite the fact that nuisance bear complaints had become rife — rising more than 44 percent in her last year in office — and biologists had argued that hunting would not detrimentally effect the overall population and would be the most effective means of managing New Jersey's black bears. 3) Animal-rights activists are now pushing to end the government's predator control program. Fiscal conservatives may agree that this program is an unjustified subsidy, but "fiscal restraint" is hardly the animal activists' motive — after all, they want the government to spend more money and expand its reach into the regulation of the use of animals in medical testing and entertainment. Rather it is simply a first step to stopping hunting and limiting wildlife-management options to non-lethal methods. Farmers and ranchers beware. 4) And recently, the HSUS website recently posted its "Change Agenda for Animals." This detailed 100-point list especially bears watching, since one can compare this to the legislation proposed, debated, and signed in the Age of Obama to determine how much influence the most radical animal activists have over the new government. This list has proposals that effect almost every federal agency or chartered organization. Bambi, you have a champion (of sorts). Hunters, medical researchers, and health advocates beware. planetgore.nationalreview.com
