Supreme Court Denies Obama Citizenship Challenge

Senator (now President Elect) Barack Obama

The news today announced that the Untied States Supreme Court will not hear an emergency case brought to it related to whether or not Barack Obama is a “natural born” U.S. citizen:

Court won’t review Obama’s eligibility to serve

Associated Press – Dec 8, 2008

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth.

The court did not comment on its order Monday rejecting the call by Leo Donofrio of East Brunswick, N.J., to intervene in the presidential election. Donofrio says that since Obama had dual nationality at birth — his mother was American and his Kenyan father at the time was a British subject — he cannot possibly be a “natural born citizen,” one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president.

Donofrio also contends that two other candidates, Republican John McCain and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero, also are not natural-born citizens and thus ineligible to be president.

At least one other appeal over Obama’s citizenship remains at the court. Philip J. Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa., argues that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as Obama says and the Hawaii secretary of state has confirmed. Berg says Obama also may be a citizen of Indonesia, where he lived as a boy. Federal courts in Pennsylvania have dismissed Berg’s lawsuit. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081208/ap_on_go_su_co/scotus_obama

This comes as no surprise to me as I believe that, presuming he survives, Barack Obama will become President of the United States on January 20, 2009 (even though the court might hear yet another challenge on this).

Do these Mayan/Hindu/Hopi prophecies have any value? Why might Satan have inspired this date? Does the Dresden codex show destruction of the earth by flood?
