OF COURSE it was rejected.
It was a totally stupid argument. Similarly the other cases will go nowhere either.
Anyone who believes otherwise is simply deluded.
Ken
Color me deluded, then, Ken, at least on the first score.
Donofrio had a reasonable interpretation of the Constitution and not one that, historically, was uncommon.
To me, it looked as if the preponderance of the evidence went towards Obama's being a natural born citizen, but it was not a slam dunk case.
What made it a slam dunk case that Thomas should never have even pushed to Conference was that the case, ultimately, could never be seen on that part of the claim, because it was tied up in the claim that the Secretary of State for NJ had not done her job.
As with the other states in which this route is being taken, the threshold for "doing the job" is very low, making it hard to get the case out of the state's Supreme Courts with a win, and therefore making a reversal with the SCOTUS nigh unto impossible.
There is one Federal case out there that I could see having a shot, depending on how it is written, and that's because it is a class action suit, which might get around the 'standing' issue.
I suppose I should check to see what that one is up to. The rest of them are dead in the water, even if they and their supporters can't see it yet. More's the pity, in some ways, as it would be nice to have gotten a definitive ruling on the actual question, to go with the clearly written opinion of the DoJ, back in 1995.
The Supreme Court Justices denied the "stay", but they can still hear the case by December 15 without any stay. The Writ has not been ruled on yet and is still pending.
The entertainment, if you can call it that, will be coming from Obama. Sadly however, the entertainment will be nothing short of a complete meltdown when this country finds out your Messiah was not qualified under the Constitution's requirements to ever become President of the United States. It WILL BE HELL TO PAY for ALL Americans, not just the people you gleefully refer to as "Wing Nuts", but every single one of us.
Tell you what, send me the bill in the morning...
I'll pay it and we'll call this issue dead and buried...
Yes but it does eliminate it as a case and thats enough for us to shout Glorious Lord you have once again chastised the wicked and sent them marching into the wilderness.
Can someone please release a Gallup Poll so we can focus on something else like who is going to win the election.
