- Yesterday Philip Berg asked the US Supreme Court to delay
the election on Tuesday, in order to verify Obama's qualifications to
be the president of this country. There are only two qualifications one
is an age requirement, the other is that the candidate must be an American
citizen.
- "The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to help the
nation avoid a constitutional crisis by halting Tuesday's election until
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama documents his eligibility
to run for the top office in the nation.
-
- Democratic attorney Philip Berg had filed a lawsuit alleging
Obama is ineligible to be president because of possible birth in Kenya,
but as WND reported, a federal judge dismissed the complaint claiming
Berg lacks standing to bring the action.
-
- The 34-page memorandum that accompanied the court order
from Judge R. Barclay Surrick concluded ordinary citizens can't sue to
ensure that a presidential candidate actually meets the constitutional
requirements of the office.
-
- Instead, Surrick said Congress could determine "that
citizens, voters, or party members should police the Constitution's eligibility
requirements for the Presidency," but that it would take new laws
to grant individual citizens that ability.
-
- "Until that time," Surrick says, "voters
do not have standing to bring the sort of challenge that Plaintiff attempts
to bring."
-
- The issue of Obama's eligibility first got traction among
Internet bloggers and later was heightened when several campaigns were
launched to determine whether a "certificate of live birth"
posted on the Internet by the Obama campaign was valid. The issue gained
more attention when Berg told radio talk show icon Michael Savage he
had an admission from Obama's grandmother that she was at his birth
in Kenya. "This is a question of who has standing to stand up for
our Constitution," Berg told Jeff Schreiber of America's Right blog.
"If I don't have standing, if you don't have standing, if your neighbor
doesn't have standing to ask whether or not the likely next president
of the United States the most powerful man in the entire world is
eligible to be in that office in the first place, then who does?""

- It would not appear to be feasible at this late date
to postpone the presidential election; which is why this should all have
been settled long before now. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been
raised, and two years have been spent on this candidacy: apparently without
ever checking on the questions that surround Obama's validity and now
the grandmother (that witness) is dying.

-
- So just like George W. Bush who "became" president
while still A.W.O.L. from the Texas Air National Guard, during the Vietnam
War it appears that the Democratic Party is willing to violate the
Constitutional provision against having a president that is not an American
citizen. The Republicans broke the separation of powers provisions in
the Constitution when they invited the Supreme Court in to "rule"
on the Florida vote in 2000: a matter that belonged to the Congress, where
it was supposed to be settled but they got away with that and "the
people" didn't even whimper.
-
- So now maybe both parties find it necessary to break
the settled laws of the country in order to get one of their tarnished
candidates selected as absolute ruler. Thanks to that 12-12-2000 decision
the lower courts no longer actually have any legal standing when it comes
to jury duty; because the highest court in the land continues to operate
as if they did not break the law themselves and this translates into the
fact that all the courts in the country are technically no longer in compliance
with the same laws they are supposedly responsible for overseeing and
adjudicating. Try telling the judge this, the next time you're called
for Jury Duty because most so-called "judges" have no real answer
to this "problem."
-
- However: even stranger-if any of these questions had
even the most remote chance of "being true" then where the hell
are the Republicans-that would be the same party that demanded the Impeachment
of Bill Clinton and spent $65 million of our money to try and make that
stick. Yet now, with McCain in big trouble: Why have the Republicans not
said one word officially about this potential challenge to the candidate
that has bedeviled them no end? Why not!
-
- This entire "issue-non-issue" stinks to high
heaven: All because this nation can apparently no longer tell the difference
between the truth and the routine lies that have come to be a daily requirement
of the government and most politicians at all levels.
