Berg vs. Obama Update
America's Right ^ | 9/10/08 | Jeff Schreiber

Posted on 09/10/2008 12:32:59 AM PDT by solfour

At 8:55 this evening, and as promised weeks ago, Philip Berg filed a Motion for Extensive and Expedited Discovery in the Philadelphia federal court where, a little more than two weeks ago, he filed suit contesting Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for the presidency.

Per this evening's motion, Berg is seeking results on two fronts: First, that Sen. Obama and DNC Chair Howard Dean sit for depositions at the courthouse in Philadelphia running no less than three hours in length and presided over by a court-appointed Special Master; and second, that the defendants--Obama, the DNC and the Federal Election Commission--turn over documentation connected with the vetting process and the background of the Democratic Party nominee. Upon receiving confirmation that Obama and the DNC have been served with the motion--the U.S. Attorney's office has entered appearance on behalf of the FEC--Berg plans to petition the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick for an immediate telephone conference on the need for the discovery process to begin and move along as quickly as possible.

"In the interest of expediency," Berg said over the telephone as he drove to a air freight depot near Philadelphia International Airport to ensure that the materials were sent to Obama and the DNC as soon as possible, "back when we had the hearing for the temporary restraining order, I asked Judge Surrick if we could have a conference call for expedited discovery, and he said yes. This needs to be handled quickly. Listen, more and more I believe we're correct on this, and if we are then Obama cannot be president, and the United States of America will be headed toward a constitutional crisis."

No fear of riot should prevent the Constitution from being followed. That would be terrible.

???

My point was that if the rats switch horses from Obama to Hillary thanks to a Constitutional issue, Hillary would likely suffer a huge backlash from black voters.

I agree.

In fact, I imagine if there had to be a change that it would doom anyone who stepped in on the ticket.

Sorry, if I misunderstoond.

Oprah is that “guy”. Her audience is shrinking and she doesn’t know why. Must be the collider.
