WHY ARE THE COURTS IGNORING

THE OBAMA ELIGIBILITY QUESTION?

Once again the U.S. Supreme Court has turned aside a request to stop the Electoral College from selecting the 44th president, in a vote scheduled for Monday, until Barack Obama has documented his eligibility for the Office under the Constitution of the United States which requires that presidents must be “natural born” citizens.

This action came in the case brought to the high court by Philip J. Berg, of Pennsylvania, who alleges that Obama is not eligible to be president.

Berg states; "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."

However, the high court, in a terse website entry, confirmed the application for the injunction was "denied by Justice [David] Souter."

However the controversy, remains far from over, as more than a dozen cases have been brought into various courtrooms over Obama's eligibility, many of which have been dismissed summarily. However, others still remain in the pipeline that could lead to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Worries continue over a "constitutional crisis" that could be looming over the issue of Obama's citizenship. The concerns were raised in a lawsuit in California, with lead plaintiff former presidential candidate Alan Keyes, asking state officials to prevent Electoral College members from voting for Obama until they investigated his eligibility, a case being handled by the United States Justice Foundation.

The biggest question being asked, is 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 governor's office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access (presumably at Obama’s request) 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.

The California case for which Keyes is a plaintiff states: "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, petitioners, as well as other 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."

Randall Hoven, a writer on the American Thinker website, answering those who are opposed to having the Obama eligibility question pursued, by citing a David Horowitz analysis that said, "What difference does it make to the future of this country whether Obama was born on U.S. soil?"

Hoven stated; "When the U.S. Constitution is clear on a matter, we are not supposed to re-think 'what difference does it make to the future of this country.' If we do this re-thinking at every step, we would not need a Constitution; we would merely cogitate on how proposal X will affect our future. In short, no need for a Constitution." Hoven went on to cite a constitutional answer to the problem, quoting from the founding document; "If a president shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the president elect shall have failed to qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have qualified ...'"

The following are some of the other legal challenges to Obama’s eligibility:

A lawsuit by Chicago attorney Andy Martin in Hawaii seeking release of Obama's vital statistics records.

A case brought by the United States Justice Foundation in California on behalf of Alan Keyes, seeking to prevent California electors from voting for Obama until his eligibility is authenticated.

A suit was filed in North Carolina by Lt. Col Donald Sullivan, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship.

In Ohio, David M. Neal sued to force the secretary of state to document Obama's birthplace.

In Washington State, Steven Marquis sued seeking a determination on Obama's citizenship.

In Georgia, Tom Terry asked the state Supreme Court to authenticate Obama's birth certificate.

What I would really like to know is, Do we still a have a Constitution or has it been totally trashed?

The U.S. Constitution requires that the president be a "natural born" citizen, but instead of providing the documentation, Obama has hired three law firms to make certain the public does not have access to it.

If you don’t believe Barack Obama’s paternal grandmother, and if you don’t believe the ambassador to Kenya, the perhaps you will believe Barack Obama’s own Cabinet member.

Obama's choice for secretary of commerce, Gov. Bill Richardson, slipped up. In an effort to reach out to the Hispanic community, he admitted what Barack Obama has been trying to hide all these months: “Barack Obama is an immigrant.” Check it out for yourself in the following video:
