Shocker! Judge orders trial on eligibility issue
WND ^ | 9/8/09 | staff

Posted on 09/08/2009 2:15:45 PM PDT by pissant

A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.

If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue.

In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly served notice on the defendants, which she had.

In a second ruling, Carter ordered that attorney Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation can be added to the case to represent defendants Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson, who had been removed by an earlier court order. Drake, the vice presidential candidate for the American Independent Party, and Robinson, the party's chairman, were restored as plaintiffs.

But the judge did not immediately rule on Taitz' motion to be granted discovery – that is the right to see the president's still-concealed records. Nor did Carter rule immediately on a motion to dismiss the case, submitted by the U.S. government, following discussion over Taitz' challenge to the work of a magistrate in the case.

This makes no sense.

1. Why would Kreep represent “defendants” from the AIP ?

2. How can he schedule a trial without going thru a discovery period ?

I’m looking forward to other info coming out.

That’s BS. That’s just his sob story and justifcation as the reason he went to a Muslim school. His stepfather was Muslim and he changed his name to Barry Soetoro and enrolled him in a Muslim school.

What business is it of the “U.S. Government”? This case is against Obama as an individual. Why should our tax money and resources be used to defend a possible criminal who has plenty of his own money to spend and numerous lawyers to defend his position? That STINKS!
+++++++++++++++

Right! This defense should be fully and completely, his legal defense fund, his warchest of overseas internet millions...

I want to know why in the f**k he went by the name of Barry Soetoro for several years but stated on documents that he never used any aliases or other names, when he clearly did. I wish Major Garrett would ask that ugly, skinny, gayfer POS that question.

I don't know about all the instances of where he had to swear to never having used another name or alias but in the case of his law license, I think the question meant had he ever been licensed under a different name.

I find it odd that so many on these boards claim to know the ins and outs of federal law, particular constitutional law and what the Constitution requires, yet do not know the basics on trial practice and motions practice...
+++++++++++++++

You may have a point as to relative experience or inexperience with reference to specific legal process, as many of us do have other day jobs, but I find it interesting that you could make such definitive statements about all 300,000+ Freepers from your one day trial membership here. (pun intended.)...:) Welcome...

Whether or not the motions and Carter’s orders will pan out the way many of us would like, does remain to be seen.

But at the least, we can be intrigued with this development, which takes this sort of case further than any other case like it has been so far.

You’re new here. The Birthers invented a make-believe requirement found nowhere in the Constitution that “Natural Born” is defined as being born on U.S. soil to parents who were both American citizens.

Since Obama’s father is Kenyan, he is not “Natural Born” according to Birther mythology.
+++++++++++++

What is a natural born citizen of the United States (and please refer to SCOTUS case law)?

It’s certainly no mythology that NBC is a US Constitutional requirement for holding the office of the POTUS.

Perhaps that's why when reading from the teleprompter, Obama said in the speech to schoolkids today:

My mother couldn't afford to send me to the school where all the AMERICAN kids went.

"oh my"

I wonder how many American kids there were in Indonesia in the early 1970s? Enough for a whole school? If mama was so intent on homeschooling him, I wonder why Lolo Soetro adopted him (to give him cover of Indonesian citizenship) and enrolled him the local madrassa and registered him as a muslim?

That was my first thought. The US govt doesn't have to prove that it's eligible to be President. A private citizen should have to prove that before he's ever allowed on a ballot in any state in the union.

What a waste of taxpayer money!!

I don’t get it. Why do you say that “Carter hasn’t tossed this case yet because Zero’s motion to dismiss has not been fully submitted to the Court for consideration”? I thought it was. What was incomplete?

Many Federal Judges routinly hold oral argument on motions to dismiss. Apparently Carter is one of them.

It was submitted just last Friday and the plaiontiff is entitled to respond. Motions in U.S. district copurts must be filed and served on the opposition a certain number of days prior to being considered/heard. The exact number escapes my memory right now. Federal judges normally hear motions one or two days per month.

It weas filed just last week in order stretch out the case.

he has, but so have ALL of the others. I think they want to run with it but they want some really concrete evidence first. I have no doubts that Beck would not mention it until he has made his case and has some verified facts to present. It’s very hard, as we all know because the o team has scrubbed and hidden things across the globe. They missed some things and that will bring him down eventually. If not now, it will in the 2012 primaries.
