During a hearing in U.S. District Court Monday, an attorney for an Army officer fighting deployment to Iraq questioned Barack Obamas legal right to serve as president, asserting he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii.
Judge Clay Land, inquisitive throughout the 90-minute hearing, said he will issue a decision on Capt. Connie Rhodes request for a temporary restraining order by noon Wednesday.
Rhodes was represented by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer and a national figure in the birther movement that claims Obama does not meet the qualifications to be president.
California attorney Orly Taitz, the president of the Defend Our Freedoms Foundation, stands on the steps of the Columbus federal courthouse Friday with what she claims is a copy of a birth certificate for President Barack Obama from Mombass, British Protectorate of Kenya.
Maj. Rebecca Ausprung, with the Department of the Army, Litigation Division in Washington, told Land this case was about Rhodes, not Obama.
There was a lack of any reference to Capt. Rhodes, Ausprung said. This case is about Capt. Rhodes and her deployment.
Taitz kept going back to Obamas birth certificate. Twice she called Obama a usurper.

Leftist troll alert.
Red, non is a long time leftist troll here that lurks and attempts to disrupt threads.
That is funny. YOu need to give it really, really, long eyelashes.
Orly is a colorful character out of a novel. Who gets their law degree on line and passes the bar? Who would run from court to court and not give up once she latched onto an injustice like this and ridiculed by every corner of power in the US. She does not look like a proper lawyer and she does not act like a proper lawyer. Still, I respect the heck out of her for her gumption and tenacity in life - in this case and in general. She is such an underdog and she is making the big dogs squeal. That is freedom in action.
It is alright to laugh about Orly. All that matters is who gets the last laugh. I am pulling for Orly.
Uh huh. Bush's fault. You people are so transparent.
Another avenue has opened up as well. Obamafiles.com reports that the SOS in New Hampshire is investigating NBC now. I believe she was set off by the DNC altering the ballot form to remove the line about constitutional qualification for the Kenyan.
According to Obamafiles.com, the SOS in New Hampshire is now investigating the form alteration and falseification. Someone is going to laugh last and it might be Orly indirectly. If not for her, the scam would have never seen the light of day.
I understand the SOS in New Hampshire is investigating this form problem at the request of a State Senator. That was from obamafiles.com I believe.
And which law, butthead, outlined the requirements he had to follow to prove himself legitimately qualified to be president?
I defend the law, not any one man. I wouldn't want to see the law twisted to get anyone. Not Obama. Not even you.
And yet another moron heard from.
You'll notice that they didn't rescind Captain Rhodes' orders. She's supposed to report for deployment right about now.
Try again.
It’s the same question, Chinslurp. The answer is there is no law that he followed. All he had to do was lie to get his name on the ballot.
“No, but I know quite a few people who are.”
You are so authorative on law. I was wondering: Do you play a lawyer on TeeVee? ;)
No, but she DID stay at a Holiday Inn once.
He is not even a lawyer. But he knows some lawyers so that makes him an expert and “birthers” stupid people.
ALL non-leftist people are considered to be stupid by the idiotic left. That and their consistent penchant for dishonesty is how they roll.
LOL!
