SCOTUS Tells Obama To Produce Birth Certificate
Lawyer Philip Bergs lawsuit questioning Barack Obamas natural born status has entered a do-or-die phase after the Supreme Court has ordered the president-elect to produce his birth certificate by December 1st.
Berg, who appealed his case of Americas highest court, was told by Justice David Souters Clerk that his petition for an injunction to stay the November 4th election was denied. The Clerk also required the defendants (Obama, the DNC, and FEC) to respond to the Writ of Certiorari by December 1. At that time, Obama must present an authentic birth certificate to the Court, which has been sealed by Hawaii governor Linda Lingle. Berg will get to respond afterwards.
Failure to do that will surely inspire the skepticism of the Justices in Obama, who are not used to being defied. The Court will have to decide what to do about a president-elect who refuses to prove his natural-born citizenship.
I can see a unanimous Court (en banc) decertifying the election if Obama refuses to produce his birth certificate, says attorney and writer Raymond S. Kraft. They cannot do otherwise without abandoning all credibility as guardians of the Constitution. Even the most liberal justices, however loathe they may to do this, still consider themselves guardians of the Constitution. The Court is very jealous of its power - even over presidents, even over presidents-elect.
Obamas own campaign website has stated the president-elect was a Kenyan citizen until 1982. Audio of Obamas Kenyan grandmother saying he was born in Kenya has recently surfaced.
On December 13, the Electoral College meets to casts its votes. If it has been determined that Mr. Obama is an illegal alien and therefore ineligible to become President of the United States, the Electors will be duty-bound to honor the Constitution.

November 9th, 2008 - 5:50 pm The Supremes have issued an order because they want that birth certificate as part of their response to the writ of certiorari. If they dont get it, then cert might well be granted, and *then* it would go to a hearing.
And they dont have to decertify the entire election. They might, however, dictate that the Electoral Collegians cannot mark any of their ballots for Barack Obama and must mark their ballots for someone else as President. And this would pretty much unbind them from having to vote for the named candidate on the November ballot.
Im not saying that John McCain would win by default. I am saying that this would create quite an interesting situation, to be sure.

November 9th, 2008 - 5:55 pm In light of Obamas refusal to provide his birth certificate to the court in answer to Bergs lawsuit; if it turns out that Obama is not a natural born citizen as defined by the constitution, then one can only conclude that his intention all along was to create a constitutional crisis, forcing the Supreme Court to decide between overturning Section I Article II of the constitution, or unseating a popularly elected President - either of which would undermine the very fabric of our constitutional form of government.
If hes not a natural born citizen and they overturn Section I Article II, half the country will revolt because the SCOTUS ignored the constitution.
If hes not a natural born citizen and they unseat him according to the constitution, half the country will revolt because the man they chose as President will be removed by the courts.
That is a no-win situation, and reeks of totalitarian divide-and-conquer.
I pray, quite earnestly, that Barack Hussein Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States of America, and that he has the documentation to prove it.

At this point, Supreme Court Justice David Souters Clerk informed Philip J. Berg, the lawyer who brought the case against Obama, that his petition for an injunction to stay the November 4th election was denied, but the Clerk also required the defendants to respond to the Writ of Certiorari (which requires the concurrence of four Justices) by December 1. At that time, Mr. Obama must present to the Court an authentic birth certificate, after which Mr. Berg will respond.
If Obama fails to do that, it is sure to inspire the skepticism of the Justices, who are unaccustomed to being defied. They will have to decide what to do about a president-elect who refuses to prove his natural-born citizenship.

Virginia court has ruled against already but they haven’t concluded he was born in Hawaii. The birth is just registered in Hawaii days after his birth.

“TPTB will help him out. He’ll produce (actually, the tptb will produce) a birth certificate.”
“Yes, they very well might do this. It is no problem for them to do this and they have, no doubt already begun to get it done. How the people in Kenya would feel about this is a foreign affairs concern, but you know they would call it a lie.
“If hes not a natural born citizen and they unseat him according to the CONSTITUTION, half the country will revolt because the man they chose as President will be removed by the courts.”
The courts shouldn’t be blamed for this…not their fault, it’s the law.
Barry probably isn’t sleeping well tonight.”
Time will tell what happens!
