This brief is well-written, although some of the references attorney Hemenway uses regarding the “blogosphere” will likely go right over the judges’ heads. Also, recalling some of the "tips" Judge Carter gave in a different eligibility case, it might have been good for Hollister's attorney to have addressed quo warranto more directly. However, this may not be an issue the way this is written.

One of the primary case laws that Hemenway references is the 1874
Minor v. Happersett case. The post-14th Amendment case discusses dual citizenship ("divided loyalties"), distinguishing between "Citizen" and "Natural Born Citizen", as well as American parentS vs a single American parent_ as a necessity to be a "Natural Born Citizen," citing Vattel in the process.

Note that this case does NOT discuss the validity of the birth certificate like Berg and Orly have, rather Obama/Soetoro’s eligibility as a "Natural Born Citizen" and the public vetting of his “credentials” in the blogosphere in 2008, which Congress and most of the American people blindly accepted on face value. Donofrio’s approach is similar in this regard.

Hollister, as some may remember, is the retired colonel who challenged Obama/Soetoro via an Interpleader case in the DC Court system. Having spoken to him on the phone a couple of times earlier this year, Hollister comes off as a very credible plantiff.

Excellent points, all.
I'm not going to suggest that this appeal will be successful (though I do hope it will be), but I will suggest that...even with the little attention it has garnered at this stage compared to some of the others...the case does have a better chance as the attorney's (now) representing the appeal are more...shale we say, experienced and not looking at this from a "fund-raising" perspective.
