    " Okay AC thats enough be nice & stop casting dispersians at Mg. (by the way still wrong on the grounds of soil)
    AC you may have your wish, because it seems that someone that may have true standing has joined in Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States.This is the case that you were hoping for.Filed on 11/12/08 "

    " Justice Clarence Thomas of the Supreme Court has accepted the case and there will be a meeting of all Justices on December 5th to discuss the citizenship of Obama. Remember the elctorial college vote does not until a later date. Obama is not president elect if the Electorial College votes Mccain after the Supreme Court rules him ineligable to be president of the USA becuause of his citizenship. Let's wait and see what the Supreme Court decides what to do. Remember it's all about the electorial votes and they are not bound by the popular vote. "

    " MG....Sorry to burst your bubble,you got both of your statements a little mixed up. McCain was not born in the Panama Canal.Hopefully no one ever has been born in the canal.He was born in the Panama Canal Zone.The land on which he was born was considered US soil. Second, it was GORE taking BUSH to court in 2000. GORE was trying to steal the election from BUSH. MG...You really need to get you some edumacation because you truly do not know anything about the history of this country.You shouldn’t even be a citizen….You’re a pathetic American. "

    " To all who are upset and feel they've been cheated or betrayed, there is a solution. You take the ride and change it in four years or, keep it a smooth ride by cooperating instead of "figiting" in the back seat while crying, "Are we there yet?", or move back to the motherland, fatherland or where ever it is you or your descendants may have come from and try to find Shangri-la there. It's too late to whine and complain. Let's try to make the best of it. Besides, your prejudices are showing for all to see. "

Get over it AC. I've got one word for you OBAMA... If you don't like it them pack your crap in a U-haul and head for the border. Otherwise quit your crying. We've been dealing with worse(G.W.

    " AC part of my comment disappeared-
    STANDING-The legal right to initiate a lawsuit.A judge’s attitude toward the factual foundation of a plaintiff’s claims is an essential factor in understanding just who indeed has standing to sue. The question running to the heart of the standing doctrine is whether or not the plaintiff indeed has a personal stake in the outcome of the otherwise matter being adjudicated.A plaintiff wishing to have standing to sue must show(1)a particularized injury-in-fact(2)evidence showing that that the party being sued actually caused the plaintiff’s particularized injury-in-fact,and(3)that adjudication of the the matter would actually provide redress. "

    Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Nov 14, 2008 5:35 PM:

    " You know AC,I was thinking about this whole issue.I am certain it will eventually go to SCOTUS.(if it hasn't already). Perhaps, the only people who would have standing in such a case as Berg's would be someone who actually ran against Obama.They could show personal injury,thus having legitimate standing.I doubt H.Clinton would do it because she would not go against her politcal party,nor would anyone else in the group.McCain,probably would not because he has his own personal issues concerning this topic. I doubt it would work.Probably the only venue ordinary citizens have is to collectively write their congressman. "

    Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Nov 14, 2008 4:53 PM:

    " The Judge in Berg's Philidelphia case, U.S.District Judge R. Barclay Surrick"ruled"that Berg had no standing .This was done after Obama &the DNC had asked the judge to dismiss Bergs case on Sept.24,2008.Stating in the request,"Berg's claims were "ridiculous&patently false",that Berg had no standing to challenge the qualifications of a candidate for president because he had not shown the requisite harm to himself. "

    AC wrote on Nov 14, 2008 1:17 PM:

    " Where does it say that a US Citizen does not have a standing on this issue? Last time I checked Congress represents the people. When congress is unable to represent the people, then the people may represent themselves. In this case apparently congress was not representing this man nor the hundreds of thousands of people who don’t believe he should be allowed to be president because of the citizenship issue. Therefore why can’t a citizen ask for proof? Where does it say that? Furthermore, shouldn’t it be mandatory that if asked for proof the candidate should furnish the proof? "

    Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Nov 14, 2008 11:21 AM:

    " The Plantiff "Berg" has the burden of proof.The reason the case was dismissed was the fact that "Berg" lacked standing.A plaintiff wishing to have standing to sue must show(1)a particularized injury-in-fact,(2)evidence showing that that the party being sued actually caused the plaintiff’s particularized injury-in-fact,and(3)that adjudication of the matter would actually provide redress.So,who does have standing?That is something that Congress would have to pursue.If, through the political process,Congress determines that citizens,voters,or party members should police the Constitution’s eligibility requirements for the Presidency,then it is free to pass laws conferring standing on individuals like Plaintiff. Until that time,voters do not have standing. "

    " AC so basically you did not read the link or at least not in its entirety. I get that you feel strongly about the case against Obama.However you put far too much on the merit of a man you obviously have no knowledge of.What about the case he(Berg) had against Bush & Cheney, and the U.S,along with Cabinet members & whole host of others?Basically in that suit Berg blamed the U.S. government for actually blowing up the world trade center without any evidence to support it. That was crazy & a waste of tax payers money! "

    AC wrote on Nov 14, 2008 9:11 AM:

    " That source is pointless to even read. I can make a website and put whatever I want on it, it doesn’t make it credible. Also just because he is being recommended for discipline, doesn’t mean he will even have a hearing. The judge would have reported him to the Bar if he thought it was a crazy motion, In fact he didn’t even throw it out based on validity he threw it out based on the fact that the damages to one person were not great enough to justify the trial.

    " And that case was not thrown out because it was not a legitimate argument. It was thrown out because that judge decided the damages that would be accrued by one person were not great enough for the case to be allowed forward. Which was a total cop out on that judge’s part. "

Can someone please explain that to me? Why would he fight. As for all of your comments Kim, I really dont know what to tell you, I am not a lawyer so I dont know international law. The Lawyer who filed the suit against Obama prob does know more than you, and he was arguing that Obama was not a citizen. "

    " If Obama also had the citizenship of his stepfather, there would have been no need for him to become naturalized as an Indonesian citizen or swear allegiance to Indonesia, assuming the adoption laws of Indonesia at that time allows the transmission of Indonesian citizenship to adopted stepchildren.Obama was a minor when he lived in Indonesia and as a minor he did not have the legal capacity to renounce his U.S. citizenship. "

    Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Nov 11, 2008 9:44 AM:

    " For Obama to lose his U.S.citizenship,he would have to do one of the following:
    • Become naturalized in another country
    • Swear an oath of allegiance to another country •Serve in the armed forces of a nation at war with the U.S., or if you are an officer in that force •Work for the government of another nation if doing so requires that you become naturalized or that you swear an oath of allegiance
    •Formally renounce citizenship at a U.S. consular office •Formally renounce citizenship to the U.S. Attorney General
    • Be convicted of committing treason "

    " Lets see......when I was born the newspaper didn't say I wasn't born in Kenya.....Good God does that mean I was?Come on AC that is just silly.Under Indonesian law in force at the time that Obama was in Indonesia,Barak was considered an Indonesian citizen by virtue of having an Indonesian stepfather.This would explain why he can state in his Indonesian school records that he is an Indonesian citizen yet remain a U.S. citizen.This may surprise you, but the U.S. does not have any law prohibiting U.S. citizens from also being citizens of other countries. Many natural born Americans have dual-citizenship. "

    AC wrote on Nov 10, 2008 4:10 PM:

    " Thanks for the link,but where does that say he wasn’t born in Kenya?It just says two people who live at an address had a son.I didn’t say they moved to Kenya,I said he was born in Kenya.They did return to Hawaii shortly after his birth.More Importantly what about the issue of him renouncing his citizenship when he attended school in Indonesia?At that time,he had to be a citizen to go to school.There are pictures of him in school.Then when he came back he would have to be naturalized(cant be president).If he didn’t do that,He isn’t even a citizen(cant be president).

Why fight it? "

    " AC,Obama has released his birth certificate.That some of the public refuses to believe it at this point is their problem.The fact is in the state of Hawaii does not allow officials to release the birth certificate of a person to someone outside of the family. (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18)The director of the Department of Health for the state of Hawaii, Dr. Chiyome Fukino,
    along with the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate. "

    " Then why not produce it for the Media to see and Hold onto. Why only select people? What was the point of the state in sealing it so no one can see it. WHY? WHY? WHY? Obama fought TOOTH AND NAIL in that federal court case to not have to produce the birth certificate. This sounds like a cover-up if I have ever heard one. If it looks like a duck walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, What it is? "

Otherwise go to the bottom&click on the blue highlighted part under "The Associated Press" Hawaii clearly states as of October 31,2008 that there's no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii .If you insist on the paranoia run with it, but the majority of America has spoken and so has State of Hawaii Department of Health and so has registrar of vital statistics.C'est tout.

    " Also, Philadelphia attorney, Philip J. Berg brought suite against Obama claiming his birth certificate was fake and that he was really born in Kenya. Monday, the Judge threw out the case and ruled that Berg's attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were "frivolous and not worthy of discussion." In addition to the birth certificate, a birth announcement in the Aug. 13, 1961, Honolulu Advertiser listed Obama's birth there on Aug. 4.
