SCOTUS Tells Obama To Produce Birth Certificate | The Right Perspective

SCOTUS Tells Obama To Produce Birth Certificate | The Right Perspective: "Lawyer Philip Berg’s lawsuit questioning Barack Obama’s “natural born” status has entered a do-or-die phase after the Supreme Court has ordered the president-elect to produce his birth certificate by December 1st.

Berg, who appealed his case of America’s highest court, was told by Justice David Souter’s Clerk that his petition for an injunction to stay the November 4th election was denied. The Clerk also required the defendants (Obama, the DNC, and FEC) to respond to the Writ of Certiorari by December 1. At that time, Obama must present an authentic birth certificate to the Court, which has been sealed by Hawaii governor Linda Lingle. Berg will get to respond afterwards.

Failure to do that will surely inspire the skepticism of the Justices in Obama, who are not used to being defied. The Court will have to decide what to do about a president-elect who refuses to prove his natural-born citizenship."


My question is this: should Mr. Obama fail to produce the birth certificate as required, what will the Supreme Court do? Will they invalidate the election results? Will they disqualify Mr. Obama, or invalidate his candidacy? Would those moves elevate Joe Biden to the position of President-elect? Or will the highest eligible vote getter (John McCain) be declared the winner?

This could get very interesting.
