THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN: 'Citizen grand jury' organizers deliver accusations
THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN: 'Citizen grand jury' organizers deliver accusations
Hitting him from all angles!
'Citizen grand jury' organizers deliver accusations
'Presentments' against Obama given to White House, FBI
Documents assembled by volunteer "citizen grand jury" members alleging Barack Obama is ineligible to serve as president have been delivered to the White House, the FBI, members of Congress and the court system in Washington, D.C.
Carl Swensson, a spokesman for the American Grand Jury movement and author of his own RiseUpForAmerica website, said he's now calling on Americans to reach out to those powers, demanding to know what action is being taken.
"Any way you can get in touch with them," he told WND today, via calls, e-mail and faxes.
The papers, called "presentments," were compiled by a "super grand jury" of 172 people who contend Obama may not meet the U.S. Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural born" citizen.
Such volunteer citizen grand juries already have been active on the local level, presenting their accusations against Obama to courts, sheriffs, prosecutors, judges and legislators across the nation, without success so far.
The participants explain they are within their constitutional rights to assemble, review evidence and deliver accusations. The actual documents are not widely published, because they adhere to the grand jury rule of secrecy.

It seems Swensson still hasnt brushed up on his constitutional law- I spent two hours online the other day studying "common law grand juries" and apparently I know more about it than he does.
Yes, it is a fact that Joe Public can assemble a common law grand jury, and they CAN hear evidence against an individual suspected of wrongdoing, and they CAN issue a finding (called a "presentment") which states whether they think sufficient evidence exists for the individual to be brought up on formal charges.
HOWEVER- depending on the statutes in any given state, their duties end THERE- they have no legal authority beyond that, other than handing over their presentment to a district attorney, or attorney general, and leaving it within the purview of that legal authority as to whether formal charges will be forthcoming.
In essence, their findings mean nothing unless a duly-authorized member of the judiciary determines the findings have any legal merit. And thus far, after the convening of at least SIXTEEN "common law grand juries", they-have-not.
