Supremes to review Barack's citizenship

Case challenging his name on ballot set for 'conference'
A case that challenges President-elect Barack Obama's name on the 2008 election ballot citing questions over his citizenship has been scheduled for a "conference" at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Conferences are private meetings of the justices at which they review cases and decide which ones to accept for formal review. This case is set for a conference Dec. 5, just 10 days before the Electoral College is scheduled to meet to make formal the election of Obama as the nation's next president.
The Supreme Court's website listed the date for the case brought by Leo C. Donofrio against Nina Wells, the secretary of state in New Jersey, over not only Obama's name on the 2008 election ballot but those of two others, Sen. John McCain and Roger Calero.
If four of the nine justices vote to hear the case in full, oral argument may be scheduled.
The action questions whether any of the three candidates is qualified under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural-born citizen."
According to America's Right blogger Jeff Schreiber, there also was a development in a second case presented to the Supreme Court on the same issue.
His report said the Federal Election Commission now has waived its right to respond to a complaint brought by attorney Philip Berg.
"Another thing which is not completely clear is whether the FEC is filing for itself or on behalf of all respondents," he added.
"However, if this was filed by the FEC on behalf of the DNC and Barack Obama too, it reeks of collusion,"

A second SCOTUS (Supreme court of the U.S.) case is to be "conferenced" over on 12-5-08, which presents another twist to the plot as it adds two other names to the confusion, i.e. 'chaos'. That case, by a Leo C. Donofrio, includes McCain and somebody named Roger Calero, and challenges their "natural born" status along with Obama's. An attempt to 'muddy the waters' with added confusion?
In the original SCOTUS case, the Federal Election Commission has adopted the strategy of choosing not to respond to the charges by the 12-01-08 deadline, waiving the right they say. It may be more accurate to say that they are ignoring it all together. And, might add, ignoring the rights of the people of the U.S. As of this time it is not clear if they are speaking in behalf of the DNC and the Obama camp or for themselves alone.
At any rate the whole thing is becoming more widely known.
Global elite power play to demonstrate the demise of the U.S. Constitution in the era of globalization? Have to wait and see.
fyi
see all: 'Election 2008'
