John Linder to stand and object Obama at Electoral Count

I read a post the other day that a Freeper got from Congressman John Linder, Georgia, stating that he would stand and object to Obama if he doesn't show proof of constitutional eligibility.
I emailed Mr. Linder and asked if he did indeed write that email and if he was serious about holding Obama to task on something as serious as this.
A few moments ago I received a phone call from Congressman Linder's office confirming that he intends to do exactly that and he is just as intent as us on verifying Obama's eligibility.
I told his staffer (very nice lady) that I was proud of him and that I appreciated his bravery as I know he is going against the tide with this.
She said that she herself was concerned as she had to show full, long form documentation to even work in the building for a Congressman and we shouldn't be told to just take someone's word for an office as important as POTUS.
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that at least one Congressman is standing up to this, even if the SCOTUS doesn't have the nerve to examine what would seem to be a reasonable question.
Nevertheless, even if Rep. Linder were to follow through on making a motion to object to certification, there would also need to be at least one Senator to similarly follow through:
3 USC 15 - Sec. 15. Counting electoral votes in Congress (relevant portion, below):
Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.
Be aware of the fact that just as the Supreme Court will not interfere with the lawful fulfillment of the electoral process by the Legislative branch, members of the House and Senate are likewise unlikely to move to object unless they are confident enough, by January 8, that it is the best political move for them to make.
Does this sound expedient? Perhaps so, but it’s also a practical matter as well. A Representative or Senator has significantly more to lose over this issue than does a Supreme Court Justice, despite the fact that the onus of eligibility may well fall into Congress’ hands before all is said and done.
Having said all that, would it not be interesting to find a Senator who is making similar signals?

EASY WAY TO MAKE SURE OBAMA NEVER GETS INAUGURATED (READ CAREFULLY):–
Since the Supreme Court has now prevented itself from acknowledging the question of whether Barack H. Obama is or is not an Article II “natural born citizen” based on the Kenyan/British citizenship of Barack Obama’s father at the time of his birth (irrespective of whether Barack Obama is deemed a “citizen” born in Hawaii or otherwise) as a prerequisite to qualifying to serve as President of the United States under the Constitution — the Court having done so three times and counting, first before the Nov 4 general election and twice before the Dec 15 vote of the College of Electors — it would seem appropriate, if not necessary, for all Executive Branch departments and agencies to secure advance formal advice from the United States Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel as to how to respond to expected inquiries from federal employees who are pledged to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” as to whether they are governed by laws, regulations, orders and directives issued under Mr. Obama during such periods that said employees, by the weight of existing legal authority and prior to a decision by the Supreme Court, believe in good faith that Mr. Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen”.
In attempting to show support for Congressman Linder regarding the Obama long form birth certificate issue, my IP address is rejected from the site for some reason.
Would you please forward my grateful support to the Statesman in this endeavor and sincere appreciation for his high regard of the Constitution?!
I will be reading to see the outcome~

Rep. Linder site is overwhelmed with supportive emails. Maybe leate tonight I will be able to get through. If so I will include your support.
Have you sent emails to your Congressman and Senators, friends, family, etc.?
I have written to my congressmen and also John McCain. All of them has a responsibility to stand up and be counted. They represent the people of the USA not the lobbists or anyone else. I am sending another letter to SC to make them wake up and smell the coffee we are in for a big fight and they ned to take up for the US citizens since they are the ones that interpert the Constitution they know that Obama cases are justified. I do not know why the reject as case with no comment. That is not right. They are to tell us why they are rejecting a Obama Case. Are that accepting donations from Obama or are the fee to make decisions according the the Constitution
You were wrong. Rep. John Linder did not stand up today and object at the counting of the Electoral Votes.
No, I wasn't wrong. Neither was the person who wrote the article I posted wrong. Rep. Linder was wrong for saying he would and then not following through.
