Interview, Orly Taitz: Chief Justice Roberts Calls Conference on Obama Challenge: Lightfoot v. Bowen

Chief Justice John Roberts has sent a full-throated challenge of Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility to conference: Lightfoot v. Bowen (SCOTUS docket page). I.O. interviewed Lightfoot lead attorney, Orly Taitz at 2:20pm CT, today, minutes after she learned of this move.
Taitz believes, “This is Chief Justice Roberts telling the Congress… the other eight Justices, that there is a problem with this election.”
The Lightfoot case has legal standing, due to litigant, Libertarian Gail Lightfoot’s vice presidential candidacy in California. It also address two major issues of legal merit: 1. Obama’s failure to provide legally evidentiary documentation of citizenship and American birth and, 2. his United Kingdom citizenship at birth, passed to him by his Kenyan father when that nation was a British colony. (Other current challenges also submit that Obama’s apparent status as an Indonesian citizen, as a child, would have caused his American citizenship to be revoked.) This case is therefore considered the strongest yet, to be heard by the Supreme Court. Obama challenger, Philp Berg had previously been granted conference hearings, scheduled this Friday, 1/9 and on 1/16.
Roberts was submitted this case on 12/29, originally a petition for an injunction against the State of California’s Electoral College vote. His action comes one day before the Congress is to certify the Electoral College votes electing Barack Obama, 1/8. The conference called by Roberts is scheduled for 1/23. Orly Taitz is not deterred by the conference coming after the inauguration, which is to be held 1/20, “If they find out that he was not eligible, then they can actually rescind the election; the whole inauguration and certification were not valid.” The strongest time for legal and judicial rulings are generally after the fact.
Taitz reacts to this new event as a project manager, “We’ll continue working, one step at a time. Now we need to get the word out to all the media, congressmen, senators.” It remains to be seen whether the “major media” will deign to cover this story, or continue to mainly report news that is negative as it pertains to natural born Citizen actions addressing Obama.
“They will hear the case, then, if they find out… Obama was elected fraudulently, they will find out the whole process was not valid.” Taits calls this conference itself an important hearing and then, “I think that we’ll have four Justices, then it will go to oral arguments and all American Citizens will be able to hear the case.” In such a conference, four Supreme Court Justices of the nine must vote for certiorari — to have a full review generally including a public hearing. However, the Lightfoot filing is not at this point a petition for a writ of certiorari. In theory, the court may issue an order of the court regarding the process, or pertaining to a then, apparent President Obama’s standing.
Taitz stressed that the public must know immediately about matters that may have been hidden in Barack Obama’s candidacy, citing one example, that, “Most of the country has no clue that one relative can go to the state of Hawaii and sign an affidavit that ‘my relative was born a citizen’” and thus gain an Hawaiian birth certificate for that person, even if he were born abroad. That is the same kind of birth certificate that Barack Obama has not allowed to be seen, but which Hawaiian state officials have reported exists in privately held state records.
The earlier Lightfoot petition to the California State Supreme Court for a stay of that state’s Electoral College election had been denied at that level.
One of many potentially odd twists to monitor in this electoral process is that as of Friday, 1/2, the National Archives had received Electoral College votes from only twenty-four of fifty states, not nearly enough votes for Congress to count, tomorrow for an election.
Investigating Obama will continue to monitor this and related cases, and link to news and examinations of them, from other newsworthy sites. The Web site of Orly Taitz relates her perspective, further. Readers are free to repost or excerpt this article.

JUST ONE DAY BEFORE CONGRESS VOTES ON ELECTORAL ‘VOTE’ CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS HAS DISTRIBUTED FOR CONFERENCE DR. ORLY’S LIGHTFOOT CASE!
MESSAGE — NOW RENEWED AS AN ALERT — TO EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS:
When counting the electoral votes, either Congress finds by 1/8/09 that Obama — not being an Article II “natural born citizen” (father Kenyan/British, not American, citizen) — fails to qualify as President whereupon Biden becomes the full fledged President under 3 USC 19 (free to pick his own VP such as Hillary) or thereafter defers to the Supreme Court to enjoin Obama’s inauguration with Biden becoming only Acting President under the 20th Amendment until a new President is duly determined.
The preferable choice (especially for the Democrats) — IN WHAT WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND HISTORIC CONGRESSIONAL VOTE SINCE THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR — should seem obvious.

They wont do shit in the in “the best interests of the Republic” and we may learn the truth in about 25 years or so.
This is just great. Sometimes you actually get what you ask for but it causes MORE PROBLEMS.
Think about it. President BHO is unable to hold office as President.
2 things can happen and BOTH ARE WORSE than BHO as President.
1- Biden could be President. This would be BAD
2- If neither BHO or Biden are able to hold office
then Nancy Pelosi becomes President. GOD HELP US!!!!!!!!!
I can not believe none of the TV stations are allowing an add for 60 second be televised , so American people know for 2 years and spending 600 million dollars we putting a man in control of our
country that is not a citizen. I have lost my fait in congress,
SENATE, MEDIA AND OUR SUPREME COURT. Why is everybody protecting
this man that has no quality to run our country???? what happened
to our constitution???? too many people are after him to bring justice to this cover uo even if it is after January 20?????
they want to put our country through another disaster .
Personally, being a right wing radical, I hope the Supreme Court upholds the U. S. Constitution. This being said I’m afraid they think declaring Obama (Osama) inelgible will cause massive race riots and ultimately martial law being declared. GOD help US!
Hello, Ed. It’s a sad state of affairs, indeed, when the desire to see the Constitution of the United States upheld puts one into the category of “Right Wing Radical.”
We live in amazing times. I hope every major US city burns. The people in those cities deserve something better than being a slave to the Democratic party.
The left has attempted to elect an illegal alien……….History books will speak of the Democratic Party as traitors.
Mike, I don’t wish any harm to come to people or property in any of our cities. But “The People” just elected Barack Obama, and for better or worse, we’re going to watch them reap the fruits of their labor, and get exactly what they asked for. It’ll be interesting to see who they blame, now that Bush isn’t around.
I do agree with you that History books will speak of the Democratic Party as traitors.
Well here it is May 07 2009 and nothing heard from Justice Roberts or anyone else about the mystery interloper Berry Seotoro aka: President and Chief of Arms of the USA. The scam just is being ignored or covered up. I am having trouble breathing with my head in the sand…HELP end this fiasco, Who is he? What has he done? Who are his mentors? What is his religious leanings? Who does he owe?
