U.S. Supreme Court Dismisses Challenge to Obama Presidency

-a good non-ruling at this point in time, as the race hustlers would have the ignorant, unwashed Homer Simpson/ Snopp Dogg  populace in arms over an adherence of the Constitution in this matter, unfortunately, as this liar and his willing accomplices in the domocRATic party would have no higher governing authority other than themselves to answer to.

And so, Osama is stacking the deck with former Freddie Mac/ Fannie Mae and ex-clintonites appointed to every position he can appoint, leaving Mr.Gates (-a strong supporter and one of the architechs of the Iraqi "surge" policy) in his position of authority over the war against terrorism. Looks like Guananimo will remain open and occupied (-thank God), and Osama promices that tougher times are ahead financially for America.

So much for "Hope" and "Change" and "a brighter future" via regime transistion.

democRATs STILL control congress, and they're looking to re-institute the ban on off-shore drilling, -you dolts.

PS - now that we've elected our Second Black President (-remember, BillyBob the Master-bater was heralded our first by the leftwing views media), could all the race-baiters just dry up and blow away already?

This should put an end to the issue.  Of course, we were subjected to daily 'selected not elected' for eight years, so the issue might live on.  And it will probably continue to be alternative history for a few for another generation. 

-fortunately, for America, President Bush WAS elected, and the great snake-oil salesman ("-can I sell you a few carbon credits? or the Brooklyn Bridge?") Algore, was not allowed to STEAL the presidency (-by way of count, after re-count, after re-count, after re-count, of which he lost in all). When Yiminy Carter, the peanut farmer was president, we were supposedly entering an ice age, oh for the good 'ol days.

Unfortunately for America, Bush and Cheney, with the help of the ultra conservative wing of the Supreme Court, stole the election in 2000, a feat I think the entire bench may have decided would not set well with the American people, if it was attempted again, at least this time.

Only time will reveal how emboldened some may become when and if these suits keep winding their way through the court systems, on all levels.

Mr. (Mad-)Hatter,

 Unfortunately, your supposition that "Bush and Cheney, with the help of the ultra conservative wing of the Supreme Court, stole the election in 2000" IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS, any child that that was a witness to what had happened during the election of 2000 could see that exactly the opposite was attempted, and as a result of the hysterics of the lunatics of the "ULTRA" -leftists, this would just not be allowed by the supreme court. Actually, with the use of ACORN, many thousands of ballots for Hussian Obama have come into question. Quite possible the presidential election has been stolden, SUCESSFULLY this time, by the party of the same hypocrites and liars that attempted the same then. nice try. :)

"Unfortunately, Ms.Hatter,

not everyone is fooled by the main-streams, and some of us actually pay attention.

The conclusion of Justice David Souter's dissent from the majority, December 2000:

What must underlie petitioners' entire federal assault on the Florida election procedures is an unstated lack of confidence in the impartiality and capacity of the state judges who would make the critical decisions if the vote count were to proceed. Otherwise, their position is wholly without merit. The endorsement of that position by the majority of this Court can only lend credence to the most cynical appraisal of the work of judges throughout the land. It is confidence in the men and women who administer the judicial system that is the true backbone of the rule of law. Time will one day heal the wound to that confidence that will be inflicted by today's decision. One thing, however, is certain. Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's Presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the Nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.

I respectfully dissent.

As relates to the 2000 presidential outcome, the phrase " ....confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.", can, should and would apply in all cases of the judicial decisions during this period, including the Supreme Court, as stated by Justice Souter, which he has identified as being lost in this process when the majority opinion was rendered.

Karen, thank you for this story. The matter of whether or not Mr. Obama is constitutionally eligible for the Office of the President of the United States aside, results of the popular vote are not guaranteed to stand because the Electoral College has not cast its vote. In other words, it is the Electoral College that decides who goes or who stays, not the popular vote. I believe that the Electoral College will cast its vote on December 15, 2008. Additionally, the Electoral College has an obligation to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Let us hope for the best!

Coudn't they have at least used the term, 'frivolous ?'

The supreme court is supposed to enforce the laws of the constitution by which this country was founded upon. If this isn't of importance to them then what is??? If obama is a citizen then why can't he produce his records. I am a american citizen and I can produce my birth records why can't he???? His flagerant regard for our constitution and it laws is a determent to our country. God Help us ...

True American

As evidenced by the continuing din from some quarters, I am sure there will be more attempts to transform the results of this past presidential election.

I stated at another comment thread, as much verification that's required for doing anything in the United States, it's almost a given that President Elect Obama has satisfied those individuals in this process that matter as pertain to having seen his documentation relating to his birth.

Shortly after the closing of the polls at 8:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008, Barack Obama was declared President Elect.

The citizenship challenge, which I had found and still find disingenuous and without merit, but proffered by some, occurring during the primaries and the general election, may have represented a sincere effort to enforce constitutional requirements; maybe, and that's a small maybe.

However, any activity now, being disguised as getting to the root of things out of concern for the Constitution can only be characterized as a plot to usurp the results of the election.

My thanks to all for their recommends and whatever substantive contribution and interaction has appeared here.

if you'd done some research you would have found that there are statutes in place that prevent the Hawaiian government from releasing the documentation that Phillip Berg, Donofrio and other conspiracy nuts are asking for. The "vault" copy of a birth certificate is protected by laws, and thus the only certificate that Obama would be able to obtain is the one that the FEC, INS, and US State Dept have accepted as being real and the one he has shown. Furthermore, On November 23th, the Hawaii Department of Health has confirmed that the COLB copy extended to Obama is based on its original (the one in the vault) and therefore is 100% AUTHENTIC.

People should educate themselves before taking sides or expressing ignorant "opinions". For more info on all the legal issues surrounding this frivolous lawsuit and the vexations litigants sponsoring it, check out www.whatsyourevidence.com 

There you can find an excellent legal analysis of the issue. No bias, no disinformation, no subjectivity, simply the facts.

<Lizardo> -you are obviously the "arse", nice how you got your one line contribution posted, lolololololololol -what an intellectual!! I am aghast and in awe!! -you must be one of those "Hope and Change" seekers (ROLF). -and here is "the One",democRATic-party annointed and set in place to establish your will on earth..... little did you know the "Hope and Change" you so longed for would be carter/clinton 2 with a touch of George Bush Iraqi war thrown in. -sucker.

~funny how civility, and a call for "kinder and gentler" discourse all are hysterically demanded from the left as they shout "right-wingnut" and "extremists"and such like, compounded with their lies and distortions so eloquently vomited out upon the ignorant, brain-dead populace.

 There is a reason why Alfred E Barak HUSSIAN Osama has not released his birth certificate, and why the "Supremes" have opted out of a ruling on this matter. It is the same reason why this Hussian had lied and broken his campaign promises (-remember -he promiced a NO publicly funded canpiagn,) right out of the gate. It is because he is a typical liberal-democRAT. They all lie -it's their mode of operation. And the "Supremes" made no ruling because they know that liberals will stop at nothing to gain power over the moronic masses (-they called for riots and chaos in the streets of America if this clown didn't win) -they attempted to lose us the war against terrorism against Iraq (-just as they cost us  a victory over the Chi-coms in Vietnam, by pulling all funding from President Nixon's efforts there, which were quickly turning the tide there via his "Vietnamization" program) -read a book people.
