Hell, illegal immigrants come here, give birth, and their children are US citizens. Obama was born in the country so yeah, he does meet the requirements. To fill out the day, I'll have to watch a documentary on Bigfoot today, Charles.

There's nothing to be curious about. Obama was born to an American citizen, that alone is sufficient. Second the State of Hawaii confirmed the validity of the Birth Certificate.

Without personally commenting on the issue of Mr. Obama's birth certificate, (which I don't believe is actually a viable issue),...

... it should be pointed out that the SCOTUS refusing to hear a case does not mean that it without merit.

Nirthers will probably throw their shoes at the Supreme Court.

While I missed the other thread on the Arab world applauding the shoe thrower.....I mean OMG how impotent can you get! A shoe! We roll with Abrams and they roll with shoes.

How many moving parts would it take for the nirther conspiracy to work? And does it involve time travel, as in going back to 1961 to plant a birth announcement in a Honolulu newspaper?

Or does it take a really strong cup of tea to generate an infinite improbability field?

Finally. Everybody can be mad at SNL!

There are still several other claims like this on the docket; the court is doing whatever it can to keep these guys from clogging the docket with useless litigation, although they're not about to start sanctioning those people (yet). But none of these suits have a chance of surviving, let alone being decided in favor that Obama isn't a US citizen and legitimately entitled to be President.

Berg's suit is still alive for the moment, so the troofers are going to hold out hope.

These guys will not give up the ghost.

Just because a lawsuit was dismissed won't stop the silliness from being promulgated endlessly for at least the next 4 years. A fart takes but a second to foul the air, while getting rid of the stench takes much longer.

When the Supreme Court decided issues in favor of President Bush in 2000, many people said--quite rightly--"the Court has spoken; enough already."

Unwelcome as many people may find the election of Barack Obama, the same response is appropriate.

Devolving into the right-of-center equivalent of the "selected, not elected" obsessives does nothing good for conservatives, for conservatism, or--more important--for the political culture of the nation.

This bullshit should never have been elevated to the level that it needed to be considered by the SCOTUS. Can you imagine the furor if some 9/11 troofer pushing a criminal conspiracy lawsuit that far?

re: #30 Walter L. Newton

The SCOTUS refuses to hear approximately 80% (if not more) of the cases that are sent to them. They do so for various reasons, don't want to, don't have time, feel the issue has already been resolved, feel that there is no issue with the lower court's decisions, etc.

As it stands now, (I believe, I haven't really looked too much into it, nor read the link above) they are just refusing to hear it. Thus, we cannot act as if they have heard it and found it to be without merit.

Some Mexicans leaving US, planning never to return

...All are leaving Colorado in time for Christmas — joining a traditional holiday migration that will number almost 1 million people, says Mexico's interior ministry. But they have no intention of returning to Colorado, a place that promised prosperity.

Mexico's National Statistics and Geography Institute estimates that 814,000 Mexicans emigrated to the U.S. in 2006, compared to 1.2 million in 2007.

Arnal noted that Mexico's economy is growing, albeit modestly. Mexico's Treasury Department reported a 1.7 percent growth rate for the third quarter and forecasts 2 percent growth for the year.

But hard times, not tepid growth back home, are prompting some Colorado Mexicans to leave.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name. If I remember correctly, it was at the turn of last century (around 1900). It was actually a criminal contempt trial against a Tennessee Sherriff (?) for allowing a mob to lynch a Black man accused of raping a White woman after the Court ordered the man (already convicted and sentenced to hang) held in custody and stayed the execution.

Soon, it is nice and toasty inside and I rolled down the drivers side window, thinking that would break up the ice there. It didn't, but it left me with an intact ice window.
So I look at my friend sitting next to me and say, "Cool, I've always wanted to do something like this" and I fling my left arm against the ice window and smash it to bits.

There was never, ever any chance that the Court would overturn an election based on a dubious reading of the Constitution. With Mexican illegals poping out anchor babies while they are waiting in line to be deported, it was somewhat insane to think that Obama's citizenship could be in doubt.

His qualifications to be President, OTOH, are an entirely different matter. But that's not in the Court's hands, either.

Kidnapped Iraqi reporter freed, says no ransom paid
19 Nov 2007 13:33:27 GMT
Source: Reuters
BAGHDAD, Nov 19 (Reuters) - An Iraqi TV journalist who was kidnapped last week in a busy Baghdad neighbourhood said he was released unharmed before dawn on Monday.

Muntazer al-Zaidi, a correspondent for the independent al- Baghdadiya television station, said he spent more than two days blindfolded, barely eating and drinking, after armed men forced him into a car as he walked to work on Friday morning in the bustling Bab al-Sharji area of central Baghdad.

“My release is a miracle. I couldn’t believe I was still alive,” Zaidi, 28, told Reuters by telephone.

Zaidi said the kidnappers had beaten him until he lost consciousness. They used his necktie to blindfold him and bound his hands with his shoelaces.

He never learned the identity of the kidnappers, who questioned him closely about his work but did not demand a ransom.

The captors later told Zaidi he would be released, throwing him on to a dark street, still blindfolded, around 3 a.m. (0000 GMT) on Monday. He was then picked up by his brother.

At least 122 journalists and 41 media support staff have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. About 85 percent of those killed were Iraqis.

Some Iraqi journalists have been targeted by Sunni Arab militants or by Shi’ite militias. Others have been killed by U.S. forces while reporting. (Reporting by Waleed Ibrahim; Writing by Missy Ryan; Editing by Richard Balmforth)

Iraqi journalist hurls shoes at ‘dog’ Bush
Dec 14 02:36 PM US/Eastern

An Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes and an insult at George W. Bush, without hitting him, as the US president was shaking hands with the Iraqi premier at his Baghdad office on Sunday.

As the two leaders met in Nuri al-Maliki’s private office, a journalist sitting in the third row jumped up, shouting: “It is the farewell kiss, you dog,” and threw his shoes one after the other towards Bush.

Maliki made a protective gesture towards the US president, who ducked and was not hit.

The journalist, Muntazer al-Zaidi from Al-Baghdadia channel which broadcasts from Cairo, was frogmarched from the room by security staff, an AFP journalist said.

The only scary thing was, an officer gave us an orientation on the base and some safety stuff and he went through this whole thing about tornado's and ditches and not getting sucked up to Oz.

re: #124 CyanSnowHawk

Once upon a time, when I was stationed at Ft. Riley, a sleet storm had covered the drivers side of my car with about a quarter inch of ice. So I get in the car on the passenger side and get it started. I sit for a while as it heats up.
Soon, it is nice and toasty inside and I rolled down the drivers side window, thinking that would break up the ice there. It didn't, but it left me with an intact ice window.
So I look at my friend sitting next to me and say, "Cool, I've always wanted to do something like this" and I fling my left arm against the ice window and smash it to bits.
At which time all the accumulated snow above the window fell into my lap.

re: #22 lawhawk

There are still several other claims like this on the docket; the court is doing whatever it can to keep these guys from clogging the docket with useless litigation, although they're not about to start sanctioning those people (yet). But none of these suits have a chance of surviving, let alone being decided in favor that Obama isn't a US citizen and legitimately entitled to be President.

Berg's suit is still alive for the moment, so the troofers are going to hold out hope.

These guys will not give up the ghost.

Of course they won't. Conspiracy theorists don't care about the truth - they care about drawing attention to themselves. And filing bat-shit-crazy suits with the Supreme Court is one sure way to make people stare at you.

I don't even understand the basis of this suit. If you're born on US soil, you're a natural-born US citizen. End of story. Your parent's nationality doesn't mean jack.

I really hope the courts start levying fines against these butt puckers. Then they can sit in their mom's basements and get together on a forum to whine to each other about their sad, miserable lives, and the rest of us can go back to ignoring them.

Well in the interest of staying a Lizard, I'm going keep my mouth shut.

If the conspiracy is deep enough, Obama himself might not know where he was born. He was only told. You don't actually remember your birth do you? Your parents told you where you were born, and you foolishly believed them.

In fact, how do you know they're your parents? Did you test their DNA?

The day after he's sworn in, the secret conditioning in Obama's brain will kick in and he'll press the Big Nuclear Button. Or maybe the "Alien" will pop out of his chest...

And how do you know he's really black? They can Photoshop TV these days, plus, makeup and skin dye have been available for centuries.

re: #207 opnion

Sanchez is a dick with ears.

I got both a dick and 2 ears?

Let me start by being very clear. I have no doubt that Obama is eligible to be president.

I think for me the problem i am having is that this is the first time i have heard you could be president without establishing your basic eligibility. I guess i assumed that sometime before taking the oath of office, they required you to show proof you were eligible.

Now, this is where the lawyer in me comes out big time. there is a difference between process and outcomes. of course there are alot of people who confuse the two. Al Franken, for instance, is confusing what the right process for counting votes with the outcome he is seeking. And both sides are susceptible to this. But some of us do respect process in and of itself and on this, well, just as we should be forced to prove who we are before we vote, shouldn't we require a person to prove where he was born before becoming president?

And in law we have the concept of the "best evidence rule." So what is the best evidence of his place of birth? an old newspaper? a newly created birth certificate?

No. An original. And if it is missing, or whatever, then and only then we go to these other sources.

The other sources are solid enough to believe him if we can't produce the original birth certificate, but still I want to either 1) see that best evidence or 2) have an explanation as to why that best evidence is not available. This is truly not about outcomes, but about process. As a matter of good process, we should always see that birth certificate.

And I'll go as far as to say I don't mind if Obama is seated without having produced it. To suddenly apply the rule now would raise concerns of selective application of the rules if we said it the first time with him. i am reminded of when they tried to seat the first black senator, hiriam revels. A number of, well, rednecks, objected saying he was not qualified. Why? The argument was both evil and ingenius. It went like this. Under Dredd Scott, no black man could be a citizen. Now, of course, the 14th A overturned this, but this was 1870, so that was only 2 years ago. A senator had to be a citizen for longer than 2 years, thus Mr. Revels couldn't be a senator. The arguments on the other side were interesting. the first was that Dred Scott was never good law in the first place so in fact he was always a citizen, the 14th A only made that crystal clear. The second was to say "how do we know he was black?"--pointing out, for instance, he was only 1/8 black. and the third was to say, "you guys didn't raise this concern when we were admitting citizens of texas into congress, so why the sudden concern?" (after all, Texas was its own country at one point and thus a texan is not typically going to be a citizen of the US, too.)

So let's give Obama a walk. Yeah, in part because he is black, because I fear that racism might be behind some of this, or that it might be otherwise outcome driven (as in, we fear he will be a disaster--and mind you, i share that fear). and that walk, as far as i am concerned, goes all the way to (god help us) if he is reelected. But still, going forward, shouldn't we see the BC, at least going forward?

As a matter of process, i say yes.

That review affirmed the public statements of the President-elect that he had no contact with the governor or his staff, and that the President-elect's staff was not involved in inappropriate discussions with the governor or his staff over the selection of his successor as US Senator.

"Also at the President-elect's direction, Gregory Craig, counsel to the Transition, has kept the US Attorney's office informed of this fact-gathering process in order to ensure our full cooperation with the investigation.

"In the course of those discussions, the US Attorney's office requested the public release of the Transition review be deferred until the week of December 22, in order not to impede their investigation of the governor. The Transition has agreed to this revised timetable for release."
