We shall see what we shall see. I am tempted to think the HI Health Dept will reconfigure its letter response to the last, invalid, subpoena, then they go to court to battle it out.
Two points of confusion, tho.
1. Has Judge Lamberth yet told the parties they can proceed with discovery? The only scheduling order he issued was on 6/1 telling her to refile the complaint by the 14th, and the defendant had till today to file a dispositive motion. As we know, the SSA filed its motion for summary judgment on Friday (7/1/11). The time for Dr. Taitz to file an opposition is 14 days, IIRC, with another couple of days for SSA to file a reply to her opposition. Then Judge Lamberth has to read the arguments and issue an Order (grant/deny).
2. The dates on the subpoena confuse me. It appears it was signed/issued by a deputy clerk on July 5, 2011, and served by certified mail return receipt requested, also on July 5, 2011. SO, did the process server, who works for or with Dr. Taitz in CA, go to HI, get the subpoena issued today in the Clerk’s office and then send by certified mail to the HI AG? If she’d flown to HI from CA to get the subpoena issued, why not just go and serve it in person? Every govt office has an office with a individual who’s authorized to receive service.

I’d guess that this time, the exact letter of Hawaiian law was followed on the service of this subpoena so that Fuddy could not wiggle out.
I too would have served it in person. I'm reading some of the OBot posts at FogButt, they are looking for the Hawaiian laws that covers serving subpoenas.
ButtFly Bilderberg - "The subpoena has to be served in accordance with the law in Hawaii. Some states require process servers be licensed and bonded, and registered with an office of civil process commission to act as a process server. Does anyone know whether that is the case in Hawaii? "
The servers should stay in Hawaii for a little while to ensure she can serve it again or get a Hawaiian process server if something goes wrong. ;-)
