Dec 8 2008 Application (08A469) referred to the Court by Justice Scalia.
Cort Wrotnowski’s emergency application for a stay and/or injunction as to the Electoral College meeting on Dec. 15 was today referred to the full Court by the Honorable Associate Justice Anotonin Scalia. It has been distributed for Conference of Friday December 12. The official case name is WROTNOWSKI v. BYSIEWICZ, United States Supreme Court Docket No. 08A469.
From Leo Donofrio’s blog, just prior to this:
[UPDATE 12:23 PM The main stream media should stop saying SCOTUS refused to hear the case. It was distributed for conference on Nov. 19. They had the issue before them for for sixteen days. Yes, they didn’t take it to the next level of full briefs and oral argument. But they certainly heard the case and read the issues. The media is failing to acknowledge that. The case and issues were considered. Getting the case to the full Court for such consideration was my goal. I trust the Supreme Court had good reason to deny the application. Despite many attempts to stop their full review, my case was placed on their desks and into their minds. Please remember that. It’s important for history to record that.]
My application was denied. The Honorable Court chose not to state why.
Wrotnowksi v. Connecticut Secretary of State is still pending as an emergency application resubmitted to the Honorable Associate Justice Antonin Scalia as of last Tuesday. I worked extensively on that application and it includes a more solid brief and a less treacherous lower Court procedural history.
The SCOTUS takes up very few cases each year, (around 50 out of 6000-8000 petitioned). The very fact that this overriding issue of eligibiility has now been referred twice to Committee says the issue (if not Obama’s eligibility) is ripe for SCOTUS action. Theoretically, SCOTUS deals only with points of Constitutional law, not personalities.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
It takes 4 votes to put it on the docket. It is basically the same as the Donofrio case, but according to what I have read online they are saying it is crafted with a better route to the SCOTUS:
The chief framer of the related 14th Amendment of the Constitution, John A. Bingham corroborated this dual criteria stating, “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” An extensive analysis citing this is “Defining Natural-Born Citizen,” by P.A. Madison, The Federalist Blog.
Obama and his Chicago political Mafia has been plotting this circumvention of the US Constitution, for which he has such disdain. The Obama camp has been studying ways to change the Constitutional requirements for President for some time now.
Remember, Obama taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago as a “senior lecturer.” He KNOWS, and the DNC KNOWS, that Obama does not meet the standards of Section 1 of Article II of the US Constitution.
The liberal weinie judges won’t do it. They just won’t and shame on the 5th judge who swings to the liberal side.
They should be hearing these cases! They’re great educational cases. Young men and women in the study of law could learn a thing or two.
But, it’s always “for the good of the people” or to “keep the peace.” Justice Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg is an old, uppity bitty crone. She’ll deny anything.
I agree with you Lynn.
Obama, pardon the pun, is a black stain on these United States. How many Republican congressman have resigned for less (several). How many Democrats (none that I can think of). I hope he is found inelgible and people like those in Perry County, Alabama can celebrate that date as Obamunism defeated day.

Well before they ‘turn it down’ it might be prudent for you to wait and see, if they do turn it down. I don’t believe the SCOTUS is owned by either party. Afterall it was Justice Kennedy that cast the deciding vote for George W. Bush in 2000.
Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 allows registration of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child’s birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence,” according to reports. “The only way to know where Senator Obama was actually born is to view Senator Obama’s original birth certificate from 1961 that shows the name of the hospital and the name and signature of the doctor that delivered him.
The more legs this thing grows the more light will be shined on it, and the rats in the basement will be scattering to the corners trying to get out of the basement.
This is not over.
USSC Justice Scalia is a patriot. I saw him interviewed on C-Span and he said that the Constitution is not a “living document” that can be changed or manipulated for whatever purpose(s)… This man is my hero and check out his family and kids s s s s s s s s (9 I think?)!
I hope that the SCOTUS eventually decides to hear this case. Maybe with enough applications the Court will decide to get it done.
This is not a trivial matter. If it is heard and Obama is found to be disqualified there will be major legal turmoil and confusion. We need to get to that sooner than later. If Obama is found to be a legal natural citizen, then we can put the issue to rest, although we can then consider Obama to be a sorry bastard for not settling the issue beforehand by producing his official birth certificate.
Personally I think The One is not a natural born citizen just because he will not provide that BC.
Doesn’t seem to be anything on the Democrat side of politics that is on the level, above board or honest. Once a corrupt politician is outed they rally to move them into other positions instead of giving them the boot. Pick any office, any state or any federal office, it’s the same. A perceived ethics violation brought down Gingrich, Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, Bob Allen, Glenn Murphy Jr. not by their peers but by the Democrat biased media, they either stepped down or were replaced by the constituents. Not so on the other side, there is media silence or minimal coverage, the Dems let a convicted felon run from a New Jersey prison, even re-elect a corrupt money launderer like William Jefferson. Disturbingly the Dems turn to the SCOTUS to resolve their lack of fitness for office via legislative fiat, that is a telling observation of the bias of the court. We see the lack of investigation of Obama and the siding with scum like Franken. Yet the hounds never let up on Lewis Libby in their BDS attacks. At minimum association with domestic terrorists should be forefront in any background checks for higher office. Their attempts to steal the election in Florida in 2000 convinced me that SCOTUS was in the Democrats tool bag. Like a trial jury, all it takes is one holdout to let a perp walk. Double standards are the rule.
This is tuff. A SCOTUS order that the Electoral Collage, which meets on Saturday, obtains and examines the Obama proof of birth and citizenship before they begin their vote is probably in order. SCOTUS does not want to be ruling on Obama’s birth and really does not have to but somebody needs to examine the birth certificate.
I won’t celebrate O’Vomit until his plane crashes or is taken down by an arab missile.
I would love to be a fly on the wall at the SCOTUS when they discuss this issue at conference. Someone must ask why the f**k Barack Obama doesn’t just produce a valid birth certificate and end all of this speculation. What is he hiding? No esoteric rule of law involved. He either is or isn’t a natural born citizen. Open and shut case.
I don’t have faith that SCOTUS will take this as a case to the full court. The best approach is to promote the story in the foreign press to embarrass SCOTUS, Congress, and the country to finally force Obama to give up his birth certificate showing that he is or isn’t a natural born citizen.
Hi Les,
I agre with you. Why is it so hard to just tell him to produce the document or resign. F*&k the American people and stand idly by. WTF.
Bob A.
Lynn, LOL she sure is. HAHAHAHAHAA
“Justice Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg is an old, uppity bitty crone.”
She would be so perfect to play the wicked old witch in a movie or a play.
Bob A., ….this would be a great day. tah dah
“people like those in Perry County, Alabama can celebrate that date as Obamunism defeated day”
Mark, that’s right, this has so many lawsuits and it is not going to go away.
Even if he gets sworn in I would even guess that some would do lawsuits then too.
Darth, mine too. I saw that interview too and I was so impressed with Justice Scalia. God bless him and we are lucky he is one of the Judges.
It helps a lot to know the names of the ones that at least are seeing this has to be looked at, that is the first step. Clarence Thomas is a good man too, I saw an interview with him as well.
Tom, I agree, it is not going to just go away. One of these lawsuits will take effect and make them see how important this is.
Jack, I agree, I can’t see or think of anything dems do that I can respect.
“Doesn’t seem to be anything on the Democrat side of politics that is on the level, above board or honest”
Avitar, I know so little about the law, the one thing I was thinking about is that Justice Scalia’s main thing is the Constitutiono and I am not sure but I think Clarence Thomas is the same way. Not all the Judges have made it their main thing like Scalia has. So that is a plus, just thinking positive here.
