Berg v. Obama Update (Berg Files Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint)

Maybe he wants to add these folks who put Barry on the ballots, accepted Barry's petitions to get on the ballot, and others who failed to perform due diligence by declaring Barry a legitimate candidate.

Except that is a state issue, not a federal issue, and doesn't belong in federal court.

November 4th is not a federal election. It is 50 separate state elections and one election in the District of Columbia (which isn't a state).

When we go to the polls on November 4th, we are not electing a President, we are appointing our state's electors. And according to Article II of the Constitution, the appointment of electors is left entirely up to the states.

So any issues as to who appears on the various state ballots is a state issue and should be taken up in state courts. Not federal court.

So what do you think he’s doing?

Personally I think he's just trying to take advantage of the court to garner publicity. I think he figures that a filing in federal court makes it appear "official" and that the press will take notice of it. I think he never intended for this to be played out in a court of law but rather in the court of public opinion.

I think this may also be a money making scheme.

File this suit, get a bunch of people worked up about it, then on your website, say you're in desperate need of money to continue the case and solicit donations through PayPal.

This may be nothing in itself, but it's worth noting that in 2006, Berg filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Shortly after that he filed to have his Chapter 13 filing changed to a Chapter 11 filing. And shortly after that he filed to have his Chapter 11 filing changed to a Chapter 7 filing.

Berg's suit was little more than a cut-and-paste job of stuff he'd scrounged up on the Internet. He exercised absolutely no due diligence and was so sloppy about it he even included a Canadian birth certificate that was made up as a joke and was signed by cartoon character Dudley Doright.

Much of it came from two anonymous bloggers, "Judah Benjamin" and "Techdude."

Techdude was found to be a fraud who fabricated his evidence regarding Obama's birth certificate being a forgery. Techdude was the one who claimed that Obama's certificate was forged using his sister Maya's certificate and that you could see the remains of his sister's name in the scanned image that the Obama campaign published on the Internet.

This was mentioned on Berg's website and Berg's assistant said publicly that Techdude was not one of their experts.

However previously on his website, Berg wrote an article claiming Techdude was one of his experts and gave a link to Techdude's "Final Report" over on Atlas Shrugs.

They tried to cover up this direct association with Techdude by deleting the article. However it can still be seen in Google's cache.

Yet even though they're trying to claim to not have any direct association with Techdude, in Berg's latest filing, his amended complaint that was filed with the court just yesterday, Berg says:

Obama was well aware the Government issued COLB was altered and forged as the original document was in the name of Maya Kasandra Soetoro born in 1970.

That's straight from Techdude's fabrications.

So in my opinion, Berg is being wholly disingenuous and is trying to take people for fools.
