“Obama’s lawyers moved to dismiss the suit and failed to file a timely answer, meaning that, under the applicable rules (according to Berg), Obama is legally deemed to have admitted Berg’s allegations that he is constitutionally ineligible to be president.”

I have no idea if there is anything to this allegation or not; but imagine the coverage this would get if McCain’s lawyers had failed to file an answer...

McCain would already be burnt toast to a charcoal

They filed a motion to dismiss, which means that they don't have to answer. According to Berg, they also failed to respond in a timely fashion to his discovery requests, including a set of requests for admissions. I think, as part of their motion to dismiss, they requested that the judge allow them not to respond to the discovery until he ruled on the motion to dismiss. Good practice would be to get the judge's permission not to respond to the discovery before the discovery is due. Whether that will lead to the issues being "deemed admitted" is possible, but unlikely. More likely, they would have to respond, but have waived any objections to the requests. Only a complete failure to respond, after being ordered by the court, will usually give rise to "deemed admission".

Glad to see that more people are paying attention. I must admit I though this was a waste of time, and I think it still might be, but at the same time, there is something that he is trying to hide. It may be embarassing info on his birth certificate, but there is something. He should at least have to provide a birth certificate, a real one.

Obama’s lawyers have filed a Motion to Dismiss on grounds Berg lacks standing.

And he does.

A good explanation here:
