Subject: FW: It was payback time for Kagan ------ And .....Snopes cannot be trusted
From  a friend:
I went to Snopes to check this out and they  said it was false and there
were no such dockets so  I
googled the supreme court, typed in Obama Kagan, and  guess what?  Yep
you got it.  Snopes  lied.  Everyone of those dockets are  there.
So   Here is what I wrote  Snopes:
WND article about Elena Kagan and Barak Obama  dockets.  The information
you have posted stating  that there were no such cases as claimed by WND
and  the examples you gave are blatantly false.  I went directly to  the
Supreme courts website, typed in Obama Kagan and  immediately came up
with all of the dockets that WND  made reference too.  I have long
suspected that  you really slant things but this was really  shocking.
Thank You, I hope you will be much more  truthful in the  future,
*************
Bet you didn't  know this....
Kagan was representing Obama in  all the petitions to prove his
citizenship.... Now she may help rule on  them.
Folks, this is really  ugly.
Chicago Politics, and the beat goes on  and on and on...
Once  again the Senate sold us out.
Well, someone figured out  why Obama nominated  Elana Kagan for the
Supreme  Court.... Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket
and search for Obama. She was the Solicitor General  for all the suits
against him filed with the Supreme  Court to show proof of natural born
citizenship. He  owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of
course. They were never heard. It just keeps getting  deeper and deeper,
doesn't it? The American people  mean nothing any longer.. It's all
about payback time  for those that compromised themselves to elect
someone  that really has no true right to even be there. We should be
getting so sick of all of this  nonsense.
Here are some websites of the Supreme Court  Docket:
You can look up some of these hearings and  guess what??  Elana Kagan is
the attorney  representing Obama!!!  Check out these  examples:

The person who wrote that letter obviously has no idea how the Court docketing system works. Kagan was a lawyer representing the US side. Until a case is accepted by the Court, Kagan had nothing to do with it. All of the eligibility petitions were denied without any input by Kagan or the white house. In fact, the cases you list have nothing to do with eligibility. Take a look at them. 

Here's the docket numbers for eligibility cases -- note that NONE of them are on your list. 
08A391, 08-570, 08A505, 08A407, 09-794, 08-10817, 09-6777, 08A524, 10A56, 08A469.

A Modest Proposal · Answer

As Snopes explained, and as is apparent just from reading the very vague descriptions on those dockets, none of them had anything to do with Obama's eligibility as President, or at least it's specious (in the least) to jump to the conclusion that they had to do with his eligibility.  Snopes never claimed those dockets were not there, they claimed they had nothing to do with eligibility.  QED, Snopes did not lie.  Furthermore, they actually cite what the dockets were *really* about, not the lies that WND is trying to put forth.

I've never once seen Snopes be wrong;
I've never once seen WingNutsDaily be right.

I'm sure there have been times when Snopes has been wrong, There may have even been a time when WingNutsDaily has been right:  This is not one of those times.

Yes I trust Snopes. It's the idiot who wrote this piece that I wouldn't trust. Read the Snopes entry and judge for yourself.

Obama's mother was an American citizen. That makes him at the VERY LEAST a citizen by 'Juris Sanguinus', or "law of blood'.
So much fail in this one...
