During a hearing in U.S. District Court Monday, an attorney for an Army officer fighting deployment to Iraq questioned Barack Obama’s 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 Obama’s birth certificate. Twice she called Obama a “usurper.”

"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 [ibid]" )


Answer: The late William Kuntsler, the lawyers at the ACLU, and any other firm or lawyer that tilts their lance toward their favored windmills.

For purposes of discussion, it is clear that the opposition to Orly resort to ad hominem attacks. If Orly stated that proof of natural born citizenship is a legal requirement but is branded crazy, and others are branded a ridiculous nickname of "birther" it stands to reason that there is still no proof presented. It's a mental shell game. We're all still waiting for the proof and all the records to be opened. That's all.

I agree with your assertion that this is a side show. However, it is fascinating reading this thread, seeing how people argue points and counter points.
