Supreme Court to consider hearing case challenging Obamaâs citizenship
By James Janega ⢠Chicago Tribune ⢠December 3, 2008
The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obamaâs U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case embraced by many opponents of Obamaâs election.

The meeting of justices will coincide with a vigil by the filerâs supporters in Washington on the steps of the nationâs highest court.
The suit originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells.
Legal experts say the appeal holds little chance for success, despite appearing on the courtâs Dec. 5 schedule. Legal records show it is the tip of an iceberg of nationwide efforts seeking to derail Obamaâs election over accusations that he either wasnât born a U.S. citizen or that he later renounced his citizenship in Indonesia.
The Obama campaign has maintained that he was born in Hawaii, has an authentic birth certificate, and is a ânatural-bornâ U.S. citizen. Hawaiian officials agree.
Among those filing lawsuits is Alan Keyes, who lost to Obama in the 2004 Illinois Senate race. Keyesâ suit seeks to halt certification of votes in California. Another suit by a Kentucky man seeks to have a federal judge review the copy of Obamaâs original birth certificate â which Hawaii officials say is locked in a state vault.
Other suits have been filed by Andy Martin, whose case was dismissed in Hawaii, and by a man in Ohio whose case also was dismissed. Five more cases have been filed and dismissed in Hawaii by a person currently suing the âPeoples Association of Human, Animals Conceived God/s and Religions, John McCain (and) USA Govt.â The plaintiff previously sought to sue Wikipedia and âAll News Media.â
The most famous case questioning Obamaâs citizenship was filed in Pennsylvania in August on behalf of Philip J. Berg and sought to enjoin the Democratic National Committee from nominating Obama. An appeal was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Earlier, a federal judge rejected it for âlack of standing,â which in this case means that, because the plaintiffâs alleged injury is shared equally by everyone else, the matter should be left for decision by the Electoral College or Congress rather than the courts, said legal scholar Eugene Volokh of the University of California at Los Angeles.
The remaining case with the highest profile is Donofrio v. Wells. Because it was distributed by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to other justices for conference, it gained undue importance among people with little knowledge of Supreme Court processes, Volokh said.
Many petitioners seeking stays of pending events have their cases distributed to the full court, he said. Of those, Volokh found 782 were denied in the last eight years while just 60 were heard â and not all of those cases were successful.

Can you help me find evidence that the Tea Parties started under Bush?
Uncle Penn
I've heard this said, but I can't find any evidence. Things like a newspaper article dated in 2008 or earlier, news video, etc. Something to show the Tea Party rallies started before Obama was President. Please supply links.
Thanks.
Answer
It didn't
It started in Feb 2009. To say otherwise is plain dishonest. NOTHING started until the current president entered office.
Ron Paul supporters put together some protests in 2007/2008 concerning the Federal Reserve and against the wars that some say are the roots but they have LITTLE to do with the party now. It was really about raising money.

On January 24 2009, Trevor Leach, chairman of the Young Americans for Liberty in New York State organized a "Tea Party" in 2009 in response to over 100 new or higher taxes proposed by New York Governor David Paterson and increasing government interference in the free markets using the proposed soda "obesity tax" to symbolize the original Boston Tea Party. Several of the protesters wore indian headdresses similar to the band of 18th century colonists who dumped tea in Boston Harbor to express outrage about British taxes."

"New York Times journalist Kate Zernike reported that leaders within the Tea Party credit Seattle blogger and conservative activist Keli Carender with organizing the first Tea Party in February 2009, although the term "Tea Party" was not used."

Since its inception in February 2009, the Tea Party movementâwith the help of viral videos and social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitterâalmost instantly found a large and loyal following that has gained traction and supporters.
In fact, Gallup poll in late March 2010 revealed that 28% of Americans have a positive perception of the Tea Party movement.
A Televised Birth of a Movement
CNBC's Rick Santelli is widely credited with launching the grassroots movement. While standing on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on February 19, 2009, he unleashed what can only be called a rant against the Obama Administration's proposal to help homeowners facing foreclosure refinance their mortgages."
