A federal judge in Philadelphia last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot.

In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg's allegations of harm were "too vague and too attenuated" to confer standing on him or any other voters.
Surrick ruled that Berg's attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."

“There are at least 10 lawsuits against Obama now.”
Thanks for the information.
The more lawsuits the more attention this will get.

I have sent the following to the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General of the US, my Governor, my Lt Governor, the Director of Elections for Florida, my Congresswoman, my Senator and five other Senators including McCain.
As a citizen of the United States and as a resident of the state of Florida I want to invoke my constitutional rights in demanding that all candidates for President and Vice President present proof of their eligibility for those offices as outlined in our Constitution, and that being proof of age and natural citizenship. I demand that these candidates furnish a copy of their birth certificates as filed in the various states in which they were born.
Sincerely,
Philip J. Berg is Appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court as Obama is “NOT” qualified to be President of the United States Lawsuit Against Obama Dismissed from Philadelphia Federal Court
For Immediate Release: - 10/25/08 - Contact Info at end.
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/25/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that he is immediately appealing the dismissal of his case to the United States Supreme Court. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Berg said, “I am totally disappointed by Judge Surrick’s decision and, for all citizens of the United States, I am immediately appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution. If I don’t have standing, if you don’t have standing, if your neighbor doesn’t have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States - the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world - then who does?
So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned.
According to Judge Surrick, we the people have no right to police the eligibility requirements under the U.S. Constitution.
What happened to ‘...Government of the people, by the people, for the people,...’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863.
We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the Office of the Presidency of the United States,” Berg said.
Our website obamacrimes.com now has 71.8 + million hits. We are urging all to spread the word of our website – and forward to your local newspapers and radio and TV stations.
Berg again stressed his position regarding the urgency of this case as, “we” the people, are heading to a “Constitutional Crisis” if this case is not resolved forthwith.

Even if SCOTUS shoots it down, it should ratchet up the discussion a notch or two, and might influence undecideds. The main objective now, I think, needs to be defeating The One at the polls.
IMO, from everything I’ve read on this and other threads, Berg will get the same response from SCOTUS as he got from the judge. If they even hear it.
The good news is that it may now bring this to the attention of the electorate as the various state suits proceed and before (I pray) the challenges in the electoral college election should BHO win.
(c) Notwithstanding the provision of subsection (a) of this section, a person born, after December 23, 1952, outside the United States and out of wedlock shall be held to have acquired at birth the nationality status of his mother, if the mother had the nationality of the United States at the time of such person's birth, and if the mother had previously been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year.
This was formerly in section 309 (as of the date of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.’s birth).
It has been reported that Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was married when he arrived in America, leaing a son and with his wife pregnant - source: Daily Mail.
Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was born in 1936, grew up in Nyang’oma Kogelo, and was married at the age of eighteen in a tribal ceremony to Kezia, with whom he had four children.
Barack Obama Sr. was married to his first African wife, Kezia, when at the age of 23 he enrolled at the University of Hawaii.They had one son Roy and she was pregnant with their daughter, Auma, when he flew to America.
On 21 February 1961, Obama Sr. married a fellow student, Stanley Ann Dunham in Maui, Hawaii. It is reported that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. was born on August 4, 1961.

We need to go after Soros. He is a big, big problem along with whoever the powers that be are.
I think he needs to take it to the appeals court first. Third Circuit.
Don't bother. We already know Soros is not a natural born U.S. citizen.
You be sure to tell us what they say. Especially Secretary of State Rice.
This is total BS! I am absolutely disgusted. The fix is in folks, if we weren’t sure of it before we can be now.
This election is our last illusion of having any power whatsoever.
Why not release it and let's find out?
Of course he is in the tank for Obama. Best hope is an appeal to the Court of Appeals and then Supreme Court. A ruling in favor of Surrick is his only chance of being promoted to a Circuit Court of Appeals.
If is goes to the USSC, Obama is in big trouble if he cannot prove he is eligible. If the USSC takes a pass on the issue and Obama does not prove his eligibility, we just might see another revolution. The U.S. Constitution gives citizens a right to form a new government, and it is not just limited to doing it through Congress.
As Capt. Ramius said in “The Hunt for Red October”, “A revolution every now and then is a good thing.”
Yes, Berg says (on Savage) that he has a tape and affidavit with Grandma in Kenya saying she was there at Mombasa Hospital when the Manchild was born. Phil, please release the tape.
You can email the people in charge of elections and ballots for various states at http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/cfsdd/cfsdd.shtml#Contents
Just click on the state you live in and email them about your concerns for proof of eligibilty for office.
I wonder WHO does have standing in this case? If the voters and citizens don’t who does? Maybe Elisabeth II?
If this part of the Constitution is irrelevant, than which other parts are irrelevant too? How do we know what is still valid and what isn’t?
