Eligibility remains focus of Supremes' conferences
Dispute posted on docket twice after Electoral College votes in

A second conference has been posted on the docket for the U.S. Supreme Court over the issue of Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the White House, this one scheduled a week after Congress is to review the Electoral College vote tabulation.

The latest issue posted is a request for an injunction on the election results pending the resolution of a petition for a writ of certiorari filed by attorney Philip J. Berg, a case that is docketed for a similar conference among the justices on Jan. 9.

Berg's original case raises questions about Obama's eligibility and his injunction request first was filed early in December. It was submitted to and rejected by two different justices before it came before Justice Antonin Scalia on Dec. 18. Then just before Christmas the docket was updated to reflect that the motion had been "distributed for conference of January 16, 2009."

On Berg's Obama Crimes.org website, he said Congress is scheduled to hear the Electoral College results on Jan. 8. Then on Jan. 9 there's the conference scheduled on Berg's case itself, with the injunction issue to be addressed a week later.

WND has reported Berg's case, one of the first legal challenges to Obama's eligibility to reach the Supreme Court, alleges he cannot constitutionally be inaugurated.

"I know that Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally qualified natural born citizen and is ineligible to assume the office of president of the United States," Berg said in a statement on his ObamaCrimes.com website.

"Obama knows he is not 'natural born' as he knows where he was born and he knows he was adopted in Indonesia; Obama is an attorney, Harvard Law grad who taught Constitutional law; Obama knows his candidacy is the largest 'hoax' attempted on the citizens of the United States in over 200 years; Obama places our Constitution in a 'crisis' situation; and Obama is in a situation where he can be blackmailed by leaders around the world who know Obama is not qualified," Berg's statement continued.

"The Supreme Court has listed the case of Berg vs. Obama for 'conference' on January 9," the website said.

"I am appalled that the main stream media continues to ignore this issue as we are headed to a 'Constitution Crisis,'" Berg wrote. "There is nothing more important than our U.S. Constitution and it must be enforced. I am concerned that our courts have not yet decided to look into the merits of our allegations."

WND previously reported on a case brought by Cort Wrotnowski. It fell by the wayside when the justices heard about it in conference but refused to give it a further hearing. That was the same fate handed to a case brought by Leo Donofrio. Both challenged Obama on essentially the same issue: allegations that dual citizenship based on a father who was a British subject and a mother who was an American minor disqualified him for office.

Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 190,000 others and sign up now!

The high court previously turned down a request from Berg to stop the Electoral College from selecting the 44th president until Obama documents his eligibility for the office.

As WND has reported, more than a dozen lawsuits have been filed over Obama's eligibility to assume the office of the president, many have been dismissed, while others remain pending.

The cases, in various ways, have alleged Obama does not meet the "natural born citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which reads, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

Some of the legal challenges have alleged Obama was not born in Hawaii, as he insists, but in Kenya. Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.

Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. Such cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.

Several details of Obama's past have added twists to the question of his eligibility and citizenship, including his family's move to Indonesia when he was a child, his travel to Pakistan in the '80s when such travel was forbidden to American citizens and conflicting reports from Obama's family about his place of birth.

A partial listing and status update for several of the cases surrounding Obama's eligibility to serve as president is below:

Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania Democrat, demanded that the courts verify Obama's original birth certificate and other documents proving his American citizenship. Supreme Court conferences on the case and its motions are scheduled Jan. 9 and 16.


Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed a lawsuit claiming Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court but denied a full hearing.

Cort Wrotnowski filed suit against Connecticut's secretary of state, making a similar argument to Donofrio. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court, but was denied a full hearing.

Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes headlines a list of people filing a suit in California, in a case handled by the United States Justice Foundation, that asks the secretary of state to refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. The case is pending, and lawyers are seeking the public's support.

Chicago attorney Andy Martin sought legal action requiring Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle to release Obama's vital statistics record. The case was dismissed by Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe.


Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan sought a temporary restraining order to stop the Electoral College vote in North Carolina until Barack Obama's eligibility could be confirmed, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship. His case was denied.


In Ohio, David M. Neal sued to force the secretary of state to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied.


In Washington state, Steven Marquis sued the secretary of state seeking a determination on Obama's citizenship. The case was denied.


In Georgia, Rev. Tom Terry asked the state Supreme Court to authenticate Obama's birth certificate. His request for an injuction against Georgia's secretary of state was denied by Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter.

California attorney Orly Taitz also has brought a complaint alleging Obama is not a "natural born" citizen and has written an open letter to the Supreme Court asking for the issue to be resolved.
Last month, WND reported the worries over a "constitutional crisis" that could be looming over the issue of Obama's citizenship.

"Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void," argues the Alan Keyes case pending in California, "Americans will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal."

With such high stakes potentially at risk, WND earlier launched a letter campaign to contact Electoral College members and urge them to review the controversy.

That followed a campaign that sent more than 60,000 letters by overnight delivery to the U.S. Supreme Court when one case contesting Obama's eligibility for the Oval Office was pending.

A separate petition, already signed by more than 190,000 also is ongoing asking authorities in the election to seek proof Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi had gone to both Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question was why, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists as his campaign has stated, Obama hasn't simply ordered it made available to settle the rumors. The image his campaign posted online has been rejected by critics since it is a "certification of live birth," not a birth certificate, and under Hawaii law at the time such certifications were given to parents of children born outside the state.

The governor's office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin: Does the certificate on file with the Department of Health indicate a Hawaii birth or was it generated after the Obama family registered a Kenyan birth in Hawaii?

Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born. There have been other allegations that Obama actually was born in Kenya during a time when his father was a British subject. At one point a Kenyan ambassador said Obama's birthplace in Kenya already was being recognized.
 
I hope you’re not donating your hard earned dollars to these con artists. They are pumping you full of misleading and mistaken information. I’m sure that WND will be glad to sell you a book on the subject.

Could you give a good explaination why Obama won't show his Birth Certificate? Maybe another for why he won't release his medical and college records?

He has, look it up in Snopes and if that isn't enough go to fact check. Then there’s the birth announcement from the Hawaii papers and the statement from the State of Hawaii. My question is what is Berg offering for proof? What does he have that will stand up in court? Some of what Berg and the others are saying is incorrect. A parent can’t renounce their child’s citizenship. It is very difficult for a minor to renounce their own citizenship and it would be documented if this had happened.
So what is Berg’s proof?
 
Thats kind of the answer I expected. Snopes has a known bias and factcheck is part of the Annenberg funding that Obama was also involved in. Neither one of course is court admissable evidense. The question still is: Why won't Obama show his original birth certificate? If you are saying that he has shown a copy of his original birth certificate would you please post it.

If you’re going to dismiss Snopes and Fact check for those reasons then you would have to dismiss anything Berg says and also throw out anything World Net Daily has to say on the subject. So what does that leave you?

Here’s a closer look at the person you are pinning your hopes on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_J._Berg

If you do some research here you’ll find that some of their issues are based on misinformation.

Again, what evidence does Berg have? Does he have airline documents showing that Obama’s mother flew to Kenya? Does it list her bringing an infant back? Does he have a passport showing travel at that time? I looked at his web site and didn’t see any of these. I did see that the “expert” calling the Birth Certificate a fake wouldn’t give his real name and they altered his photo. What’s with that?
 
so why not prove it with the proper documents?
case closed end of subject.
intel he shows them he is not a constitutional installed president.
any law he rights is null in void.
prove it our get out of the way so we can have a real president. your wasting our time and money.
our Constitution states rules for the presidency and our nation WILL abide by them period!
 
They were provided and promptly called a forgery by people that never saw them in person. Again Berg is the accuser, what is his proof?

Absolutely incorrect. He has never provided a copy of his original birth certificate. If he has post it up. Why won't he show it?

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif LOL

Absolutely, I am the first that wants some internet web site to decide our nations leaders. To over-stated the obvious, if the documents (actual-original) are available, then put them on the table for verification.

Shame on the US Supreme court, Democratic Party, & US Electoral College for not enforcing and uphold the US Constitution. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif

RR, I don't understand your logic, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif but I guess you can't see this side either. Don't you think that this qualification issue (US Constitution) is important enough for some of that "government transparency" that president elect Obama stumped on during the campaign? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
 
Go ahead and keep it up. Thats typical of your answers. Avoid the question. Just like Obamm is doing. Going all the way to the Supreme Court to not show his birth certificate. Something is wrong with it and he knows it or he would just show it.
 
It’s not Obama taking this to the Supreme Court it’s Berg. This is the same crank lawyer that was suing GWB for 9/11. Berg thrives on the attention and will be glad to take donations to support his cause. At this point there hasn’t been any court rule or even request that he show his Birth Certificate. If the courts ask that he show then I think he should. Until then it’s his choice.

Am I missing something here? Are you saying that Obama has a choice whether or not he wants to comply with the US Constitution?

Where's the proof that he's not complying with the US Constitution?
 
Now, I dunno if there's anything to this or not. But I do find it odd that obama didn't simply send his BC to court with his lawyer. Instant smack down end to the problem.
