Add this to the list of appellatives, already impressive, that Obama is accreting to himself. The anti-Obama under narrative is now set and grows each day as the Donofrio v. Wells proponents across the nation wait for the Supreme Court to indicate whether or not they will take up the case and clarify the question of what is a "natural born citizen" for purposes of Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution. The court met in conference on Friday to consider whether or not to take up the case and issued no orders in the afternoon for this case. Court spokesman indicate that a decision will be announced on Monday. General custom at the court is that cases that will not be heard following conference are held over until Monday and then orders indicating denial of the petitions are issued. This is not always true however, and commenters to Donofrio's blog are literally praying that the Supremes will take up the question.I've already issued my prediction, which I'll repeat and clarify further now. If the court does not take up this case and leaves intact the unsettled nature of the law regarding eligibility for the Presidency, it will be a clear decision that it is not in the nation's interest to remove this ambiguity from the law under this set of circumstances. If the court does take up the case, then brace yourselves, because if they decide to hear it, its because they intend to render Obama ineligible.
If they do so, all bets are off. Should it happen prior to the meeting of the Electoral College, possible outcomes include the Democratic Party subbing in Hillary, while the Republicans might bring Palin back up from the minors for the top spot. Political chaos would become the order of the day and under such circumstances, if you think the domestic and global economic situation is bad now, it would go into complete free fall were the US to be thrown into such uncertainty relative to the Presidency. I don't even want to think of the national security implications of such a crisis with a mere few weeks until the current president's term comes to an end.
The followers of Donofrio think they want this, but they really don't. The Supremes are not idiots and they can reasonably comprehend some of the hideous outcomes that might follow were they to interpret the constitution as Donofrio suggests. Donofrio's followers are praying that SCOTUS will take up this case. I'm praying just as earnestly that they don't.
Update: At 10 a.m. today, the Court will release the remaining orders from the Justices’ private conference last Friday. (Click here for the orders released Friday afternoon.)
If 1/20/09 comes and goes with a usurper in the Whitehouse with usurper enablers in Congress and the Supreme Court … God help us because many of the people will — rightfully and under our Constitution and Declaration of Independence — endeavor forcefully to take back the Government from what is nothing less than a coup d’etat.

If the would-be usurper takes office, all bets are off. I am a 9-year law enforcement veteran, who like all other law enforcement officials, took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I did not take an oath to defend the government of the United States, but enemies of the Constitution. Let that sink in. I will not enforce or obey federal laws issued under the Obama administration, because they will not be valid laws. Even Congress must pass legislation over the desk of a legitimate president, even if they have enough votes to override a veto. Think about what this means. If they increase the income tax, I will not file, and will encourage others to do the same. If they ban certain guns, I will neither obey the "ban" nor enforce it; in fact, I will encourage people to violate it! Any judge Obama appoints is not valid, and therefore his/her decisions are not binding and don't have to be obeyed. I may even run for chief of police so that my influence is greater. By the way, Bush/McCain is just as evil as Obama, if not more. I'm no Republican lapdog. They are all on the same team. Ron Paul was our best option, and they made sure they blackballed and cheated him out of any chance.
ReplyDeleteROADMAP TO ADDRESS THE LOOMING CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS:
ReplyDeleteSince the Supreme Court has now prevented itself from acknowledging the question of whether Barack H. Obama is or is not an Article II “natural born citizen” based on the Kenyan/British citizenship of Barack Obama’s father at the time of his birth (irrespective of whether Barack Obama is deemed a “citizen” born in Hawaii or otherwise) as a prerequisite to qualifying to serve as President of the United States under the Constitution -- the Court having done so at least three times and counting, first before the Nov 4 general election and twice before the Dec 15 vote of the College of Electors -- it would seem appropriate, if not necessary, for all Executive Branch departments and agencies to secure advance formal advice from the United States Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel as to how to respond to expected inquiries from federal employees who are pledged to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” as to whether they are governed by laws, regulations, orders and directives issued under Mr. Obama during such periods that said employees, by the weight of existing legal authority and prior to a decision by the Supreme Court, believe in good faith that Mr. Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen”.
Moreover, each and every member of Congress should be notified that he or she is personally liable (can be sued) for his or her own failure, or the same in conspiracy with other members, to perform what is a ministerial and constitutional duty, that is, to require and/or insist that Presidential electoral votes only be counted for candidates who are “natural born citizens” under Article II of the United States Constitution, the failure of which creates a cause of action for deprivation of claimants’ constitutional rights (as allowed under the Bivens case) against employees of the Federal Government, in this case, to a lawful President and Commander in Chief, and therefore, for deprivation of adequate continuation of the United States as a Constitutional Republic. The constitutionally tortious conduct is not subject to congressional immunity and would be the jettison of Article II of the Constitution by failure to stop and/or object to the counting of electoral votes for Barack H. Obama who has admitted that at the time of his birth his father was a Kenyan/British citizen and not a citizen of the United States of America.
Finally, if 1/20/09 comes and goes with a usurper in the Whitehouse (that is, Obama is definitely NOT an Article II “natural born citizen” -- dad Kenyan/British citizen at BHO’s birth -- albeit he MAY be a 14th Amendment “citizen”) with usurper enablers in Congress and the Supreme Court … God help us because many of the people will -- rightfully and under our Constitution and Declaration of Independence -- endeavor through other means to take back the Government from what is nothing less than a non-constitutional coup d’etat. (SCOTUS now does have the power to forestall that grim yet inevitable scenario, otherwise the blood and possible loss of our Constitutional Republic is SQUARELY ON THEIR HEADS.)
