Leo Donofrio's case submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court reagrding Obama's citizenship has reached a new level: the case has been "distributed for conference." On December 5, 2008, only ten days before the electoral college votes, the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will meet in private to discuss this case identified as: Leo C. Donofrio, v. Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey United States Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407 Leo informed me earlier today via telephone about this historic event and wanted to thank everyone who sent their letters to Justice Clarence Thomas. This is the link to the Supreme Court showing the docket and action: http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a407.htm If you go to this link, it will give you the process under Title 18: http://nocriminalcode.blogspot.com/2007/10/petition-distributed-for- conference-on.html Click on Justices Conference for more history on this process. This docketing today by the court for this next step should send ripples of fear through the Obama camp. Obama has been proceeding at lighenting speed to put together a cabinet and take possession of the White House with the hope that he won't have to answer the question of whether or not he was "at birth" a "natural born citizen." Every major news network, print and cable news like FOX, CNN and MSNBC, have ignored all the court cases challenging Obama's eligibility as sore losers or conspiracy theories. It might be in their best interest at this point to report this critically important meeting to take place on December 5, 2008, or lose what little credibility they have left.

i think i've read that you believe this birth certificate issue is nonsense. what's your opinion of this news? also, have you read Dr. Edwin Vieira's (constitutional lawyer), OBAMA MUST STAND UP NOW OR STEP DOWN? in his opinion, this is a constitutional crisis with very serious consequences. it's rather lengthy, but i think well worth the time as it's compelling and, imo, convincing.
This "case" has not been submitted to SCOTUS. As with Berg, a petition is filed requesting the assent of SCOTUS to consider a case. I doubt this will be granted cert. Below is a description of the case with some of the documents. The case was a request by Donofrio that "the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, for an Order granting injunctions to stay the use of current New Jersey ballots and to create new ballots." The respondent was the Secretary of State of New Jersey, not Obama. THE DONOFRIO LITIGATION re Obama To be a naturally born citizen, this is the issue. You are either "born" one or you are not, and if not, you can't be President. The 14th Amendment can make one a "citizen" but not a "natural born citizen". This is the backbone of my case. Had the US legislature, and the States who ratified the 14th Amendment, sought to bestow "natural born citizen" status, then the 14th Amendment would say so, but it does not. It confers "citizen" status, and only if the person is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. [...] The nature of the issue flows from the word, "born". The status required by Article 2, Section 1, must be present "at birth". To be a "natural born citizen" there must be nothing unnatural about your citizenship "at birth". Natural, in this context, means to be unencumbered by the laws of any other nation. Regardless of the fact that Obama came to reside in the United States, at the time of his birth another country could also claim him as its own and vice versa. That is the essence of my case as to Obama, and it was the same argument I made as to McCain who was also not eligible to be President. [...] -- Leo C. Donofrio Note the Lower Ct is listed as "Supreme Court of New Jersey." In the Superior Court, Donofrio moved "the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, for an Order granting injunctions to stay the use of current New Jersey ballots and to create new ballots." The Superior Court translated Donofrio's motion to an "Emergent Application for an Order Compelling the Secretary of State to Determine Ballot Eligibility of Candidates Pursuant to N.J.S.A.19:13-22." In the Superior Court rejection of Donofrio's application, Judge Jack Sabatino concluded with: Donofrio purports: The Docket of the case fails to mention that the case went directly from the Appellate Division in New Jersey to the New Jersey Supreme Court which is the nexus that allows the case to be properly before the US Supreme Court. The Clerk's office appears to be doing everything possible to see that this case never gets to the desk of Justice Clarence Thomas or any of the other Supreme Court Justices. I have an order handed down from the New Jersey Supreme Court which makes reference to the Appellate Division case as well, but the US Supreme Court Clerk's office refuses to acknowledge the NJ Supreme Court's review and it is that review which allows my case to go before the US Supreme Court... The Superior Court slam dunked him on 10/30 and denied his motion to appeal. The NJ Supreme Court denied his application for emergent relief on 10/31. It would appear that the use of the ballots on November 4, 2008 will not be stayed.

"Appellant's motion for leave to appeal the Secretary's alleged inaction is denied and his emergent application is consequently dismissed."
