Chrysler bankruptcy lawyers raise eligibility question

Lawyers defending the government-orchestrated deal by which Chrysler was purchased by Fiat and hundreds of dealers were thrown out of the network have raised President Barack Obama's eligibility for office as a possible issue in the dispute.

In a footnote in their latest court filing, attorneys representing the old car company at the firm of Jones Day have cited a "scheme" purportedly on the part of the lawyers for the former Chrysler dealers – the plaintiffs in the case.

"Although the debtors have no independent knowledge of these matters, the debtors have taken note of certain public statements connecting the motion to a crusade involving the movants' counsel to challenge Barack Obama's legitimacy as president of the United States," the court filing states. "For example, one report has stated: Birthers are launching yet another scheme … [that] involves a legal maneuver known as 'quo warranto,' a prerogative writ requiring the person to whom it is directed to show what authority he has for exercising some right or power (or 'franchise') he claims to hold."

Attorney Stephen Pidgeon, who along with Leo Donofrio is representing more than 70 former Chrysler dealerships put out of business by the machinations involved in granting massive quantities of taxpayer funds to Chrysler, which then was taken over by Fiat, said it's a good sign for the case.

"This is very encouraging because they are attempting to distract the court from the law, a tactic they would not employ if they truly thought the law was on their side. … This case is getting very interesting," he said.

On his blog, Donofrio agreed.

I submit that this continued farce and fraud upon the American people constitutes treason.

It's a lot of things, but Constitutionally it's not treason, which is very specifically defined in the Constitution itself:

Article III, Section. 3.
Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Of course, he's arguably done that, the adhering and giving aid and comfort bit, as well.

There's minor dispute between a white cop and a black proffessor, and right a way "The Cop Acted Stupidly", but let a muzzi kill 14 (including an unborn child) on a US military base, about 3 miles from where I sit in fact, and "we must not jump to conclusions" Nor did his hand picked "commission" even mention "muslim" or "islam" in their report on the matter. That's pretty much given aide and comfort, and adhering, to the enemies of the United States.

Lawyer Donofrio joins the chorus of Taitz, Strunk, Kreep, Hemenway, and Appuzzo finally. This is great news. See tagline.
