The Berg and Donofrio cases were filed before Obama was inaugurated. Taitz filed the Keyes case after the inauguration. If you look back at the history of this particular case, at the July hearing Obama was represented by David DeJute from the U.S. Attorney's office. So the Justice Department has been involved from the very beginning.
I just noticed that this morning — I kid you not! I was like, hey... No-one is talking about education right now — except for his upcoming speech. The speeches make it look like he’s actually “doing something”! LOL
You could be right about them being paid. I know that the left accuses the right of what it actually does, and lately they’ve been accusing the regular Americans showing up as “Protestor Lobbyists” for the drug companies...
Can these actions be brought to the court as class-action type lawsuits? Id bet a lot of citizens would sign on, IMHO.

Dunno ...
I found writ quo warranto in English Common Law - and never knew it existed.
I then checked to see if it is applicable to United States Law - apparently it is.
The Supreme Court is ostensibly a judicial body, but in day-to-day reality, it is also a political body.
If enough people rise up and demand this via writ quo warranto, I do not see how the Supreme Court can ignore it.
In English Common Law (and, apparently, the United States) ANYONE can bring this action in the name of enforcing what English Common Law calls a public right.
Basically, he who would hold the seat has to produce papers that prove he is eligible to be seated.
Obama would not only have to produce his original long form birth certificate, but he would also have to prove that he is a natural born citizen.
Kind of hard for him to do since the term has never been defined by SCOTUS. That is why they would have to get involved.
The 60 day point would actually be the 10th I believe. But in any case the defense has responded; they moved to have the case dismissed.
Which makes Congress (which was more concerned about McCains eligibility than Obamas) a big part of the problem. They didn’t do their duty to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Here let me prove to you at least that I am even more arrogant then you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams.
I was a Troll.
I know how to fight as a troll.
I know how to cause you to meltdown.
I know how to crank your brain until you become psychotic.
I know how to win from either side of the issue, all I have to do is make you lose your temper.
It’s what Trolls do.
Most of these foul mouthed punk kids that want to be trolls can’t even come close to the mind games I am capable of.
I can make you eat your own words a thousand different ways.
I am a master of sardonic rapport.
Personally your attempts at running people from this board you think are trolls have been borderline meltdowns and I’ve watched them and shook my head in embarrassment waiting for the Shepard hook reach out and pull you from the stage.
You don’t know how stupid you make others that feel this issue is important look everytime you go off on someone you claim is an oBot.
The 60 day point would actually be the 10th I believe. But in any case the defense has responded; they moved to have the case dismissed.

I am not so sure about that ...
Isn’t the suit against Barack Obama, aka Barry Soreto ???
If so, the DOJ cannot be representing him - it would have to be a private attorney.
However, the DOJ would not be precluded from filing an amicu brief before the court.
I don't believe I ever called you a name. That I can think of.
Do you have me confused with someone else?
Yup.
This should be a lesson to everyone.
Even with the Norm Coleman fiasco in Minnesota, the courts deferred hearing certain aspects of counting absentee ballots during the recount portion, saying Coleman could make his arguments during an contest phase, and then in the contest phase they said he should have done more during the recount phasee.
-PJ
I believe the defendants are:
Barack Hussein Obama; Michelle L.R. Obama; Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State; Robert M. Gates, Secretary of Defense; Joseph R. Biden, Vice President and President of the Senate
Since officers of the executive branch are listed as defendants, the DOJ is obligated to represent the government.
Oh puhleeze. The are branches of the same tree. /s
Sorry, forgot to add:
What does the Department of Justice have to do with a civil case?
That is way outside their purview, for now.
Back here
You said:
I have do idea how long it would take. If, for example, a legitimate birth certificate from a foreign country was produced then I don't think it would take much time at all. Obama's presidency ends immediately, and I would expect the courts would order that...
Now you're saying The DOJ has the responsibility to keep that from happening.
Which is it?
How about here?:

Non-Sequitur to VigilantAmerican
Kevmos rightif ANY given citizen cant be said to suffer damage by having an ineligible POTUS, then who the hell WOULD be said to have standing?
He's not president."
I read this to mean that you believed that no one could possibly have standing until he's president.
I suspect (judging from some of the posts I've seen on this thread) I'm not the only one...
I’ll keep looking.
Btw, does anyone else see the irony in a group called “Colorofchange” calling for a boycott of someone they claim is a racist? Only a rabid leftist could be so blind.
I don't know why Obama won't release his birth certificate. I suspect it's all political, but there really isn't anything I can do to make him because there isn't a law requiring it.
A law for future Presidents might be in order. But you're right - the rule of law - respect for the law - safeguards us all.
When the opposition is reduced to crying about spelling to the judge like this Politico article, you know you have them by the balls.
Waaaaaaaaaaah! She has misspelled words your honor so please throw out the case! sniff sniff....
You’ve got mail.
DOJ is the Executive Branch
The courts are the Judicial Branch.
Or maybe they are intertwined.
