The plaintiff in a case challenging Kamala Harris’s constitutional eligibility to serve as vice president of the United States has notified Harris’s attorney that the case has been docketed at the U.S. Supreme Court.

On Wednesday Robert C. Laity sent the required notification form to Beth S. Brinkmann, partner at Covington & Burling, one of the firm’s attorneys representing Harris.

A letter dated April 28, 2021 informed Laity of the case’s docketing under the number 20-1503.

Laity petitioned the high court for a writ of certiorari after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia declined to hear the matter en banc. A three-judge panel in March declared the case “frivolous” and Laity to lack “standing,” then threatened monetary sanctions which it declined to impose upon the issuance of its opinion.

In his petition Laity argued that Harris is “constitutionally barred” from serving as vice president or president as a result of her birth in California to two non-U.S.-citizen parents who were attending college on student visas at the time. Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution requires the president to be a “natural born Citizen,” while the 12th Amendment imposes the same requirements for president on any vice-presidential candidate.

AND it goes to the Fourteenth Amendment as well.   Why would any child born of non-citizen aliens be considered a US citizen?   They're not "under the jurisdiction thereof" the United States, they're citizens of some s-hole country elsewhere.   

But magic dirt is magic dirt, I guess.

Laity Files with SCOTUS for Rehearing

As promised, plaintiff Robert C. Laity has filed a petition for rehearing with the U.S. Supreme Court on his petition for a writ of certiorari concerning whether or not Kamala Harris is eligible to serve as vice president of the United States.

On June 1, 2021, the high court denied Laity’s petition without comment or dissent from any of its members. Prior to his appeal to the Supreme Court in April, Laity was told by lower courts that he lacked “standing” and/or that his objection to Harris’s presumed constitutional eligibility was “frivolous.”

In response, Laity wrote:

    The evidence is overwhelming that Kamala Devi Harris is not the bona-fide Vice-President of the United States because she does not meet Article II and 12th Amendment criteria that she be a “Natural Born Citizen.” That this court suggested sua sponte that my appeal is ‘”frivolous” (that there is no serious purpose or value) in trying to ensure that our highest offices are not breached gives me great cause for concern.

Were the parents here lawfully? If yes, then they submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the United States.

Unlike an illegal alien.

Saying "they were here lawfully" implies that merely being here on a tourist visa is sufficient to confer US citizenship on spawn.    That is not the intention of the 14th Amendment.

Laity Acquires “Certified” Naturalization Documentation for Donald J. Harris, Father of Kamala Harris

The petitioner in a case filed with two lower federal courts followed by the U.S. Supreme Court contending that Kamala Harris is not constitutionally eligible to serve as vice president or president has acquired what he describes as “certified copies” of documents from the National Archives showing that Harris’s father, Donald Jasper Harris, naturalized as a U.S. citizen in September 1981, nearly 17 years after Kamala’s birth in Oakland, CA.

As was discussed by then-Chapman University Professor of Law John Eastman prior to the 2020 presidential election, some decades ago, children born in the United States to non-U.S. citizens were not always considered U.S. citizens.

Kamala Harris’s presumed U.S. citizenship, Eastman wrote, could have been in question stemming from her parents’ status:

    If neither was ever naturalized, or at least not naturalized before Harris’ 16th birthday (which would have allowed her to obtain citizenship derived from their naturalization under the immigration law, at the time), then she would have had to become naturalized herself in order to be a citizen. That does not appear to have ever happened, yet without it, she could not have been “nine Years a Citizen of the United States” before her election to the U.S. Senate.
