Court won't hear Obama citizenship case--but may soon.(Inside Track)(Barack Obama)

On Monday, December 8, the Supreme Court unsurprisingly decided not to hear a case by retired lawyer Leo Donofrio claiming that Obama is not eligible to be president because Obama had dual nationality at birth, so he wasn't a natural born citizen as required under the Constitution to be president.

This case was doomed from the beginning because the Supreme Court was sure to agree with multiple findings by lower courts that an average citizen cannot contest a president's eligibility to be president; only those people who are legally "injured" by a presidential aspirant's candidacy--either monetarily, physically, or reputation-wise--may sue. The fact that such findings by the lower courts are absurd because the U.S. Constitution is a contract between the government and the people, and contract law stipulates that any party to a contract has the right to enforce a contract, was not going to be a reason for the Supreme Court to hear arguments in the Donofrio case.

Neither was the fact that the Constitution itself declares that the only issue to be determined by a federal court for a case to proceed is the case's constitutionality--not a plaintiff's standing--going to stop the Supreme Court from throwing out this case. (For an analysis of the constitutionally correct application of law in this case, check online for the article by constitutional law scholar Edwin Vieira, entitled "Obama Must Stand Up Now or Step Down.")

At the present time, only one case about Obama's citizenship has better than a one-in-a-million chance of making headway. That is the case filed by Alan Keyes, a 2008 presidential candidate for the American Independent Party, and Markham Robinson, a California elector. These men definitely have legal standing to sue. And despite protests to the contrary by many, good reason to sue.

Obama is hiding something. One doesn't, as Obama has reputedly done, hire three law firms to keep one's birth records and college records sealed unless one has something to hide. (It is speculated that Obama's college records will show that he applied for aid to foreign students.) ...
