Berg v. Obama Update (Berg Files Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint)
Americas Right ^ | 10/06/08 | Jeff Schrieber

Posted on 10/06/2008 10:44:06 AM PDT by NoobRep

This morning, prominent Philadelphia attorney and former Deputy Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Philip Berg filed a Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint in his ongoing case against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and others, arguing that Obama is in fact not a natural born United States citizen and, pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution is ineligible to serve as president of the United States of America.

Now, this does not mean that the amended complaint has been filed. Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits amendments by leave of court, which means essentially that the judge must sign off on this type of pleading before it is filed.

Okay all you legal eagles...please explain to us exactly what this means. I have been doing some research and it looks like various comments I've found indicate that this thing is likely to go in Berg's favor i.e., the judge won't simply dismiss this.

Comment bv a poster on Phil’s site:
Berg did this to add additional defendants and pleadings before the judge makes a ruling.

Additional defendants included: The U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and Administration, Diane Feinstein as committee chair, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and Legislation, ad Pedro A. Cortés, Secretary of the Commonwealth, for the Pennsylvania Department of State.

My main problem with this issue is that he has never come out and defended his citizenship. His mom was American isn’t she? Further, how can someone write a book about the thought of his father, when his father wasn’t around???? Sorry, ADD kickin’ into high gear today.

From the article:
Berg is seeking, among other things, an order that Feinstein and the Rules Commission—along with the FEC—immediately conduct an investigation into “the fraudulent tactics of Obama” and into his citizenship status as well.

“The Senate should be investigating qualifications for higher office and for the Senate itself,” Berg said. “We’re thinking, at this point, that Obama is an illegal alien and therefore should be arrested, tried and deported. He certainly cannot hold his Senate seat.”

Further, how can someone write a book about the thought of his father, when his father wasn’t around??

He didn't. The book was written by William Ayres.

Just like the book that got John Kennedy the Pulitzer Prize was written by Kenneth Galbraith.

There are a lot of Ghost Authors on the Left. Just look at Sen. Biden. He did a lot of plagiarizing.

His “Father b hussein sr” wasnt around. But, his communist mentor Franklin Marshall Davis was. Like I keep saying, what if we have a barry davis on our hands. Can anyone say with 100% certainty who bho’s father is? Or who bho is?

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.

All the reading I've done shows that the place (and time) to determine eligibility to serve is when the Electoral College acts to not only declare a winner, but to affirm eligibility. This, of course, is a little late in the game and could (heaven help us) lead to a constitutional crisis the like this country has never seen. All because of simple stubbornness or the reality that Barry is ineligible.

If he waits until after the election and ruled inelegible, then there will be racial unrest/rioting all over the country.....maybe that is what obama wants.

His mom being a citizen doesn’t mean anything since she was 18 when she had him. Citizen isn’t the issue, it’s natural born that’s the issue.

Also, he had a dual citizenship in Kenya until age of 21. I question if he picked that up again by campaigning for his cousin in Kenya in 2007.

Also, he was adopted in Indonesia by his Indonesia stepfather and his school records show his name to be Barry Soetoro, but oddly his name changed back to Barack Obama Jr. when he was registered at a private school in Hawaii. No government public records of Barack or Barry in Hawaii. Except that Birth Certificate he put online.

Oh, and for those who say “If this was an issue, Hillary would have pulled it out”... this is a big Clinton donor and supporter.

Yid with Lid reports today that Obama is using Joseph E. Sandler, a member of the firm of Sandler, Reiff & Young, P.C., in Washington, D.C., who concentrates in campaign finance and election law matters, to defend him in the Philip Berg civil law suit.

Obama’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss. One of the Lawyers filing the motion was Joe Sandler (sandler@sandlerreiff.com) of the Washington law firm Sandler, Reiff, and Young (see the document below).

If Mr. Sandler’s name sounds familiar it Should. He is the Legal Hit Man for the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/obama-hires-terrorists-lawyer-to-defend-forged-birth-certificat-lawsuit/

Citizen isn’t the issue, it’s natural born that’s the issue.

This has been explained at least 20 times over the last 6 months. Someday it may sink in, but I doubt it.

I’m beginning to doubt it because of all the Obama/Citizenship threads there is always one person who says “His mom was a citizen, case closed” or something and has to go back into it. I was just too tired to go into the 10 years/5 years issue.

It’s spelled Ayers, not Ayres.

William Ayres is a child psychiatrist who was arrested last year in California for molesting young boys.
