What's Going On?

Yesterday Philip Berg asked the US Supreme Court to delay the election on Tuesday, in order to verify Obama's qualifications to be the president of this country. There are only two qualifications one is an age requirement, the other is that the candidate must be an American citizen. "The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to help the nation avoid a constitutional crisis by halting Tuesday's election until Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama documents his eligibility to run for the top office in the nation.   Democratic attorney Philip Berg had filed a lawsuit alleging Obama is ineligible to be president because of possible birth in Kenya, but as WND reported, a federal judge dismissed the complaint claiming Berg lacks standing to bring the action.   The 34-page memorandum that accompanied the court order from Judge R. Barclay Surrick concluded ordinary citizens can't sue to ensure that a presidential candidate actually meets the constitutional requirements of the office.   Instead, Surrick said Congress could determine "that citizens, voters, or party members should police the Constitution's eligibility requirements for the Presidency," but that it would take new laws to grant individual citizens that ability.   "Until that time," Surrick says, "voters do not have standing to bring the sort of challenge that Plaintiff attempts to bring."   The issue of Obama's eligibility first got traction among Internet bloggers and later was heightened when several campaigns were launched to determine whether a "certificate of live birth" posted on the Internet by the Obama campaign was valid. The issue gained more attention when Berg told radio talk show icon Michael Savage he had an admission from Obama's grandmother that she was at his birth  in Kenya. "This is a question of who has standing to stand up for our Constitution," Berg told Jeff Schreiber of America's Right blog. "If I don't have standing, if you don't have standing, if your neighbor doesn't have standing to ask whether or not the likely next president of the United States the most powerful man in the entire world  is eligible to be in that office in the first place, then who does?"" (1)   It would not appear to be feasible at this late date to postpone the presidential election; which is why this should all have been settled long before now. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised, and two years have been spent on this candidacy: apparently without ever checking on the questions that surround Obama's validity and now the grandmother (that witness) is dying.           So just like George W. Bush who "became" president while still A.W.O.L. from the Texas Air National Guard, during the Vietnam War it appears that the Democratic Party is willing to violate the Constitutional provision against having a president that is not an American citizen. The Republicans broke the separation of powers provisions in the Constitution when they invited the Supreme Court in to "rule" on the Florida vote in 2000: a matter that belonged to the Congress, where it was supposed to be settled but they got away with that and "the people" didn't even whimper.   So now maybe both parties find it necessary to break the settled laws of the country in order to get one of their tarnished candidates selected as absolute ruler. Thanks to that 12-12-2000 decision the lower courts no longer actually have any legal standing when it comes to jury duty; because the highest court in the land continues to operate as if they did not break the law themselves and this translates into the fact that all the courts in the country are technically no longer in compliance with the same laws they are supposedly responsible for overseeing and adjudicating. Try telling the judge this, the next time you're called for Jury Duty because most so-called "judges" have no real answer to this "problem."   However: even stranger-if any of these questions had even the most remote chance of "being true" then where the hell are the Republicans-that would be the same party that demanded the Impeachment of Bill Clinton and spent $65 million of our money to try and make that stick. Yet now, with McCain in big trouble: Why have the Republicans not said one word officially about this potential challenge to the candidate that has bedeviled them no end? Why not!   This entire "issue-non-issue" stinks to high heaven: All because this nation can apparently no longer tell the difference between the truth and the routine lies that have come to be a daily requirement of the government and most politicians at all levels.   kirwanstudios@sbcglobal.net   1) Supreme's Asked to Halt Tuesday's Vote http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79519
