Has anyone seen this yet !?!?!?
Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court on Grounds he is Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency
by Jeff Schreiber
Global Research, August 23, 2008
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.

My guess is that the DNC and Obama himself made certain that he was eligible before he threw his hat in the ring. And I'd venture to guess also that the RNC did some digging to make sure he was eligible as well.
I'm predicting that this will be a non-issue.

I suspect you are right.

He responded as such because of a previous post from Evangel. and you should read the lawsuit...this could be interesting.

Yes the lawsuit is interesting.
1. It claims that the Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake.
2. It claims that Obama was born in Kenya and is not entitled to "natural born" status because his American mother was 18 years old. According to the suit, in order for "natural born" status to be confirmed to a newborn, at least one of the parents must be an American citizen, at least 19 years of age.
3. Even if, the Hawaiian birth certificate is genuine, or "natural born" status could be confirmed to the birth abroad, Obama, through his mother, became an Indonesian citizen while living there, thereby renouncing his American citizenship.
The lawsuit cites experts who say the Hawaiian birth certificate is fake. Of course, there will be others who claim otherwise. It seems that some kind of supporting document must be available to confirm the authenticity. It is hard for me to believe that BOTH political parties have not already been through this process.
Regarding the possibility that he was born in Kenya, I have never heard about an age restriction on a parent regarding the granting of "natural born" citizenship on a child born abroad. I have 2 sons who were born in Indonesia - yet they were issued birth certificates from the American embassy stating they are "natural born" citizens of the United States - this was based on my citizenship, but of course I was well over 19 years of age.
If Obama's mother renounced her U.S. citizenship while living in Indonesia, there must be some legal documentation. All the lawsuit offers is Obama's school registration which cites his citizenship as "Indonesian". School registration documents are not legal proof of citizenship one way ot the other. If Obama returned to the US under an Indonesian passport, that could be telling - and there should be some record of that. If he returned under a US passport - this whole argument is baseless.

I doubt your source.

And this, my friends, sums up Senator Obama's, "Change for bringing America into the 21st century:
quote:
Failure to grant injunctive relief would allow a corrupted, fraudulent nomination process to continue. It not only allows, but promotes an overwhelming degree of disrespect and creates such a lack of confidence in voters of the primary process itself, so that it would cement a prevailing belief that no potential candidate has to obey the laws of this country, respect our election process, follow the Constitution, or even suffer any consequence for lying and defrauding voters to get onto the ballot when they have no chance of serving if they fraudulently manage to get elected!

From the previous article -
quote:
When the birth certificate arrived from the Obama campaign it confirmed his name as the other documents already showed it. Still, we took an extra step: We e-mailed it to the Hawaii Department of Health, which maintains such records, to ask if it was real.
“It’s a valid Hawaii state birth certificate,” spokesman Janice Okubo told us.
When the official documents were questioned, we went looking for more answers. We circled back to the Department of Health, had a newsroom colleague bring in her own Hawaii birth certificate to see if it looks the same (it’s identical).
Obviously, the less than 9 minutes between our posts was not enough time for you to read the whole article.
There was more than one person consulted about the birth certificate - If you don't believe the Hawaii Dept. of Health or that PolitiFact compared Hawaiian birth cetificates then there's nothing more to be said.

That only addresses one of the allegations in the lawsuit.
How about the allegation that he, through his mother, renounced his citizenship while living in Indonesia?
I think the proof that a 10 year old boy renounced his American citizenship would be on the accuser.

Excuse me but that is ridiculous!
What a 10 year old boy wants or doesn't want is irrelevant.
The relevant (and legal) issue is what did his mother do in this regard?

This whole thing is so reaching it's pathetic, plus it suggests that the State of Hawaii is somehow a part of some grand conspiracy to cover up Obama's birth records.

I think the question to ask is whether or not there is any proof that Obama's mother travelled to Kenya before he was born. That, after all, is the basis for the alleged falsified birth records.
Seems to me that if she did travel there would be a record of it.
I would assume that if there is no record, she did not travel and that issue is a non-issue.
But it makes me wonder why a prominent Democrat attorney would risk his reputation on something like this with no evidednce. I say, let it go to trial and see the evidence... if there is any. Whether or not it should delay the nomiation process (which is the intention of this lawsuit) should be left up to the DNC.

I agree, I'd rather discuss Martians on the conspiracy thread; There's more credible evidence.
