Now the U.S. Supreme Court will discuss the matter in private because one justice decided it was worthy. Before fingering the member of our highest court, I will give a little background information on the case. If you do not think too hard about it, you can probably guess which Supreme Court Justice is responsible.

Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed suit against Nina Wells, the New Jersey Secretary of State, claiming that she had not performed her duty to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.

Donofrio originally asked a state court to review the citizenship of Barack Obama, John McCain and Roger Calero. Calero was the Socialist Worker’s Party Presidential candidate. He was born in Venezuela. That is a cut and dry case.

John McCain was born in Panama but on an American military base. Legal scholars believe birth on an American military base qualifies as a “natural-born citizen.” A “natural-born citizen” is one of the requirements to be President.

*snip*

Anyway, after Donofrio’s case was rejected at the state level, he presented it to Supreme Court Justice David Souter who rejected it. Donofrio then presented it to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who put it on the court docket for a conference on December 5. If four of the nine justices decide to hear the case, then full oral arguments will be scheduled.

4. This guy needs to be disbarred...

HAWAII was a STATE when Obama was born there. How much more "natural born" does he have to be?

5. Would have helped if he was born White to Mayflower descendents!

Anything short of that is a crime.

I mean....come on! The man's father was from Africa. He can't be President! :crazy:

8. John Kennedy was born of parents of Irish immigrant ancestry

And no one challenged his right to be the President. And the Irish sure as hell weren't on the Mayflower. The English could barely tolerate them as a people.

11. None of the other justices are going to touch that, not even Scalia

Fuggetaboutit.

I don't mind people who have philosophies utterly different from my own but there is something wrong with Thomas's head. Truly.
