Supreme Court Declines to Hear Nirther Conspiracy Cases (Again)

Two more “nirth certifikit” lawsuits brought by 9/11 Truther Philip Berg have been rejected by the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has rejected two more efforts to get the court to consider whether President-elect Barack Obama is eligible to take office.

Kennedy on Wednesday denied without comment an appeal by Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania attorney, that claims Obama is either a citizen of Kenya or Indonesia and is ineligible to be president because he is not a “natural-born citizen” of the U.S. as required by the Constitution. Another appeal from California, based on Berg’s claims, also was denied.

I know you won’t listen, but it’s over, Nirthers. Time to move on.

Frank J. is teh awesome!

My official stance on the Obama birth certificate issue is I don’t care. Thus, I haven’t really followed it closely enough to know if there is anything to it, but it does have the whiff of a conspiracy theory. Even if there is something to it, I think the rule that the president has to be a natural born citizen is stupid. What’s it supposed to protect against? Electing someone foreign who doesn’t have America’s interest’s at heart? If someone like that was about to get elected by the American people and the only thing stopping it was a little rule in the Constitution, we’re pretty much screwed already, as there are plenty of people without America’s best interests at heart who are natural born. Frankly, I’m for letting the American people elect whomever they feel like electing.

Furthermore, Obama was elected pretty resoundingly so, it doesn’t help conservatives to try to overturn that on some technicality. We actually have to win on the arguments one of these days.

39 Sunlight  Wed, Dec 17, 2008 12:26:20pm

You can call me a nirther because I would just like the Supremes to say, "We've seen a certified printed copy ourselves and yes he was born in the U.S. and yes everything is ok." I also would like voters to have to show a picture id (drivers license or state id - either requiring birth certificate to get the first time) in order to cut down on voter fraud. We voted it in in NM and the state government refused to do it because they say it is "unconstitutional." And now the Supremes have said that requiring photo ID is NOT unconstitutional. But they still refused to do it.

OR I'd like us to just open the borders, let everyone vote, get services, etc. without any limits. One or the other. Require all or none to follow the law. If I had to show a regular birth certificate to get a license and passport, so should he to be president if it is specified in the constitution. So instead of spending all this time rejecting these cases, they should just ask Mr. Obama for the one piece of paper and then tell us to stop worrying, it's all in order. It's like the outer limits.

This horse is dead. You can quit beating it now. This crap is going nowhere. It's got nowhere to go. As a practical matter, the Supreme Court is not going to step in and remove Obama from office on a technicality. That is simply not going to happen.

There's pleanty of shit to get pissed about from Obama. I think he's going to be an awful President. I am worried about the future of my Country. I'm worried about the future of myself.

We have to fight Obama on issues and in ways that we can actually win. We've got two years before we can change the Congress. We need to be worried about that.

Me thinks the best way to fight this prick is to destroy the information conduit he has infected. The media.

Obama the spam master...
Obama's e-mails raise cash, concerns

...the flurry of fundraising e-mails has some subscribers pleading for a break from the solicitations and has raised questions about whether Obama has figured out how to harness the power of his online network once in the White House.
...
The continuing solicitations have prompted some Democratic Internet strategists — as well some list subscribers – to urge an end to them, or to question Team Obama's online tact.

"Dear Mr. President-elect, please take me off your spam list," Slate senior editor Dahlia Lithwick wrote in a cheeky open letter to Obama, his wife Michelle, Plouffe and other allies who've signed fundraising e-mails.
...
Mimi Swartz, a journalist and Obama supporter, in a blog post titled "Yes, We Spam!" compared Plouffe's continued appearances in her inbox to "a boyfriend I broke up with who keeps trying to be friends. He keeps writing. And writing."

Plus, it's "culturally tone deaf" to keep up the fundraising flurry while people are coping with "foreclosure, job loss and no medical insurance," suggested Stephanie Salter in a column in the Terre Haute, Ind., Tribune-Star.

re: #125 Truck Monkey

Is the threat of riots and chaos reason enough to ignore such an important yet simple task to verify a President-Elects eligibility? Or do they need to wait until the Electors themselves fail to ensure his eligibility before the court can intervene? Either way, what *is* the process for challenging and then verifying an elects eligibility? This is something I think the SCOTUS should have acted on even if to rule him eligible, at least the issue would be heard and closed without question. Simply dismissing without hearing the case only fuels more rabid theories and furthers more dissent and distrust in the system...

We have a Constitution, let's use it...for the SCOTUS to ignore this is a monumental dereliction of their duties to uphold the Constitution. It may be bunk, it may be all for nothing, but at least they would have done their jobs...

I think I picked up on a thread here a while back when people were discussing the nuances of the "natural born citizen" law that even if he was born abroad he would still would be a citizen.

You can call me a nirther because I would just like the Supremes to say, "We've seen a certified printed copy ourselves and yes he was born in the U.S. and yes everything is ok." ---Clip---so should he to be president if it is specified in the constitution. So instead of spending all this time rejecting these cases, they should just ask Mr. Obama for the one piece of paper and then tell us to stop worrying, it's all in order. It's like the outer limits.

He has shown that one piece of paper. We have all seen it.
[Link: www.factcheck.org...]

The document is his real birth certificate, and HAS been presented outside of DailyKOS. The state created the document. It refers to where he was born as the county of Honolulu.
AND it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. birth and citizenship.

Since the price of crude has been in a free-fall as much as the DJIA, a production cut was a given. Yeah, this is a big cut, but the Gulf States cannot afford to cut too much, so expect plenty of "cheating" and very little actual effect on the price per barrel.

"Al Gores Ten Commandments"

1. Thou Shall not Snow.

2. Thou Shall drive a well done high-bread.

3. Thou Shall not covet thine neighbor's Honda 15 KW Generator.

4. Thou Shall denile the sun plays any part in keeping the earth warm.

5. Thou Shall not drill.

6. Thou Shall not take Al Gores plane from him.

7. Thou Shall do without energy to make room for Al Gores use of energy, and never, ever bring up the nuke power plants, to cheap.

8. Thou shall not worship any other God as fat as Al Gore.

9. Thou shall not make any craven images of any God but Al Gore.

10. Thou shall believe in Al Gore and all other Gore Balls.

There are not too many things you can rely on these days. But, there are at least two that I know of:

1)If your area is suffering from high heat, all you have to do is call in Al Gore to give a lesson on Global Warming. The temperature will drop dramatically the second his carbon munching air polluting private jet touches down at the local airport

And,

2)If you want the stock market to go down, turn on the cameras and put a microphone in front of our illustrious President-Elect.

"While digging my way through the Internet last night, I came across the following paper, written by SARAH P. HERLIHY. It’s title

AMENDING THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT: GLOBALIZATION AS THE IMPETUS AND THE OBSTACLE
had to ask myself, what would drive any American to want to change a clause in a document that is the very foundation of our government?

So, I kept digging, and found that SARAH P. HERLIHY is employed by Kirkland & Ellis LLP [Link: www.kirkland.com...]

Noting that this law firm is based in Chicago, the light bulb was shining a little brighter.

Upon looking at the firm, and the partners, I found that
Bruce I. Ettelson, P.C., is Member of finance committees of U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin.

[Link: www.kirkland.com...] … temID=7845 (towards bottom of the page)

In addition, Jack S. Levin, P.C., another partner who, in December 2002 was presented the ” Illinois Venture Capital Association’s lifetime achievement award for service to the private equity/venture capital community” presented by Sen. Barack Obama


So it sure looks like Obama’s people have looked into the matter of “Natural born” as far back as early 2006"

Gangs infiltrating Canadian airports
Hundreds of airline employees suspected of smuggling drugs and people, report says

Canada's airport security has been compromised by hundreds of workers who have used their security clearances to smuggle drugs and people into the country, according to a new police report.

Project Spawn, a two-year RCMP inquiry into hundreds of police investigations at Canada's eight largest airports, has identified nearly 60 active gangs infiltrating airports, concentrating on Toronto's Pearson International Airport, Montreal's Trudeau International Airport and Vancouver International Airport.

The Globe and Mail has obtained a 22-page declassified summary of the Project Spawn conclusions, which show the Mounties reviewed files from 2005 to 2007 and concluded that hundreds of people were suspected of involvement in smuggling during that time - 298 of whom were current or former airline employees.

I didn't know Russia still had a Navy. The last I'd heard about it, almost everything they had was sitting in port slowly rusting away.

I thought that was a pretty good thing.

It's force limited for sure.
I'll bet this little cruise was a real stretch for them.

And yes that's a good thing.

Except for the excuse the next for years to mothball our ships and cancel ones in the works.

We forget those ChiComs are building up big time.

I agree with you there, McCain was too much a gentleman and too little a street fighter. When you play Chicago politics, you bring your brass knuckles even if they are not legal.

Obama?Soetoro? is hiding something big. And calling all advocates of making him come clean 'nirthers' and 'kooks' is a huge generalization. Do take time to recall all the other things he's been less than forthcoming about before you start smearing thousands of sensible and reasonable people with your very broad brush.

Of course, Charles specifically singled out the folks pushing the birth certificate nonsense. . .he made that pretty clear in the article up top. In fact, he's posted several articles about other items Obama has been 'less than forthcoming about' over the past few months. He's not smearing the reasonable folks here.

Found this comment on another conservative 'blog this morning:

What’s amazing is your ability to believe that…

Obama’s Certification of Live Birth is any less of a forgery than the Certification of Live Birth for “Haye I.B Ahphorgerie“

It's really sad that, with all the information on this story being available online, that there are conservatives who are convinced this is true. . .an example of willful ignorance I guess.

re: #39 Sunlight

You can call me a nirther because I would just like the Supremes to say, "We've seen a certified printed copy ourselves and yes he was born in the U.S. and yes everything is ok." I also would like voters to have to show a picture id (drivers license or state id - either requiring birth certificate to get the first time) in order to cut down on voter fraud. We voted it in in NM and the state government refused to do it because they say it is "unconstitutional." And now the Supremes have said that requiring photo ID is NOT unconstitutional. But they still refused to do it.

OR I'd like us to just open the borders, let everyone vote, get services, etc. without any limits. One or the other. Require all or none to follow the law. If I had to show a regular birth certificate to get a license and passport, so should he to be president if it is specified in the constitution. So instead of spending all this time rejecting these cases, they should just ask Mr. Obama for the one piece of paper and then tell us to stop worrying, it's all in order. It's like the outer limits.

I agree. If this part of the Constitution can be ignored just because people voted for the messiah, then what other parts can be ignored? I do not understand the attitude here about this. It is not that I do not like The One or that I did not vote for him, but it is the point and the precedent that matters. How hard is it for BHO to simply show his birth certificate? Or release the list of his campaign donors?

The birth certificate has been certified by the state of Hawaii, and the information about that has been posted in at least one commentary string on this topic here at LGF. So what part of the Constitution is being ignored?

That is just a certificate of live birth. That is not a birth certificate. That CLB is given to people whose babies are born outside of the hospital.

A certificate of live birth IS a birth certificate! They're the SAME DAMN THING! And it's been officially certified as valid by both Chiyome Fukino, the director of Hawaii’s Department of Health, and the registrar of statistics. They both inspected it personally. Hell; what do you want? Placental DNA?

[Link: www.honoluluadvertiser.com...]

And the moonbat nirthers have no explanation of why the local Hawaiian newspaper the Honolulu Advertizer would, in 1961, place an announcement that a son had been born to Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama on August 4th. Was this birth announcement planted as part of a vast Illuminati conspiracy to cover up the Martian birth of the New World Overlord, who was so jawdroppingly special that the inevitability of his acendency to the position of the free world was evident at birth?

[Link: www.factcheck.org...]

This is also the very same information that is on the certified copy released:

[Link: www.politifact.com...]

Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4th, 1961 in Kapiolani Medical Center, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Stanley Ann Dunham. And, for better or worse, having unquestionably won the election, he will be sworn in as our next president on January 20th, 2009. Fucking deal with it. And get over the bad crazies and brown acid. You make us ALL look bad.

re: #299 starboardhelm

Only, NOT TRUE. The AP gets it wrong -- again!

We're the suckers? You're the one who believes Obama is ineligible to be President. Even the link you posted hints that, the semantic differences between not hearing a case and sending it to conference aside, it is unlikely to be heard by the Supreme Court.

You're engaged in a bout of wishful thinking, starboardhelm (and so is Berg, apparently). Fact is, the Supreme Court DID refuse the injunction. Fact is, there's an obvious lack of substance to Berg's case, given the readily available Obama birth certificate that has been verified by the State of Hawaii.

 Frank says:

The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions. -- Playboy Interview, April 1993
