Exclusive: Obama Attorney Threatens Distinguished Veteran on Obama Birth Certificate Issue: Why?

[Red Steel]

After the flippant dismissal by U.S. Circuit Court Judge James Robertson of the lawsuit to attempt to determine whether Barack Obama is constitutionally eligible to serve as President, D.C. attorney John Hemenway received a letter from a lawyer representing Barack Obama and Joe Biden, his Vice President.  (Hemenway had enjoined the suit launched by Hillary Clinton's ally, Philip Berg, the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania and attorney Lawrence Joyce of Arizona, in an attempt to force President Obama to disclose his birth records, currently being protected against public scrutiny by the Obama legal team at a reported cost of as much as one million dollars.)  The entire letter, written by Obama attorney Robert F. Bauer, states the following:

 

“I represent President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden. I write to request that, in light of the District Court’s March 24, 2009 Rule 11 order in Hollister v. Soetoro, No. 08-2254, you withdraw the appeal filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, No. 09-5080. For the reasons stated in Judge Robertson’s order, the suit is frivolous and should not be pursued.

               

Should you decline to withdraw this frivolous appeal, please be informed that we intend to pursue sanctions, including costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees, pursuant to federal Rule Appellate Procedure 38 and D.C. Circuit Rule 38.”

 

Mr. Hemenway's response to the letter was a promise to "write and protest and attack those against the demand that Obama show proof of his birth, and I will continue to do anything I can think of doing that might perhaps deter or injure those who are opposed to “transparency” and “openness” and honesty in governmental operations—all those good and vague promises that Obama threw out in speeches read from his teleprompter."

 

Mr. Hemenway added, "The lawyer for Obama, Robert Bauer, has abused his privileges as an attorney, because I can regard his premature (and totally inaccurate) threats to seek some sanction against me as a threat to keep me from performing my duty to my client.  It won’t work and he will soon see that it has not worked to intimidate me."  In his opinion, "many judges and other officials are simply crassly violating their oaths of office.  Since I had been in the Department of State and served in Moscow for two years, I am mindful of an expression used by the Russians: “Nada dakazat’ kulak!”  (You must show them your fist!)"

  

Hemenway also pledged:

 

“…to appeal the slap taken at me (the so-called “reprimand”) by Judge James Robertson who tried unsuccessfully to label our efforts as “frivolous” but who did not have the guts to sanction me under Rule 11.  (This would have given me—and others engaged in this important battle —standing in the Court of Appeals.)  I will do my duty to Colonel Hollister, who technically is a client, even though I never agreed initially to follow the case in the Court of Appeals.  The military, as Colonel Hollister's interest demonstrates, is quite concerned with the basic issue of ‘legal’ and ‘illegal’ orders originating from a ‘legitimate’ or ‘illegitimate’ commander-in-chief.  Recall that Judge Robertson never did admit attorneys Berg or Joyce to practice in his court, never had a hearing and never examined evidence because he didn't seek any.  The Judge gave the impression that his decision was predicated solely on ‘blogging and twittering’.“

 

For the many others who have contacted him and expressed interest in this cause, Hemenway invoked Churchill's admonition:  “If a matter of principle is involved in a course of action, then never give up—never – never – never.”  The most important part of that quote is the “matter of principle.”  It was not just a display of the stubborn nature of Churchill.  Following that advice, we can see that here, we have a grave matter of principle. 

 

If Obama can break such a basic, fundamental rule of the Constitution, then what is to keep him from ignoring or suspending other basic rights, such as the Writ of Habeas Corpus

? 

 

Last, Hemenway points out:  “Mr. Bauer claims his father was an attorney in Vienna who opposed the union with Germany (the so-called “Anschluss”) and promoted anti-Nazi political movements while he was in Austria.   He says his father left Austria in 1940.  Very few people left greater Germany after 1939, when the war started.  In any event, if Bauer's background includes such a family history of opposition to anti-rule-of-law monsters, how does he explain his support for this Chicago-styled conspiracy to violate a basic requirement of the United States Constitution?”

Wow, this new president’s tactics and cabinet are like a Fellini circus film, with macabre scary music and darkness, jumpy and insane. Are there any people left who believe he’s honest and bipartisan (who are not also brain dead)?

[jarofants]

Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.

[jarofants]

Theres nothing to see hear move on.

[Always Right]

Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.

Yeah, who gives a crap if the Constitution has meaning anymore....

[Prole]

Meanwhile, the slimebags over at DU are wondering where jarofants is.

"Theres nothing to see hear move on."

Do you also work for obama? Or can those of us who are interested linger a while?

[ZULU]

WHERE can we send dollars to support this guy?

Originally I thought this was a madcap caper and that we should just let Obama slowly stew in his own broth for the next four years. But his recent actions demonstrate the importance of blocking him and his administration NOW. He is FAR too dangerous and radical.

If Obama was indeed an American citizen, he wouldn't be spending money on high priced attorneys like this scum. I am beginning to wonder if those individuals he presents as his parents were his parents AT ALL! BOTH of them are DEAD!! HOW CONVENIENT!! So are his alleged GRANDPARENTS!!!!

I think his election may have been the greatest hoax of the millennium.

“Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.”

Well, actually you are wrong there. I care and millions of other Americans care. Quite frankly I am afraid of seeing where this Administration is going.

My only real hope now is that the excesses that are happening now and the more I seeing coming in the future will stand as a Beacon to the rest of the country that this is truly not a path we want to go down any further.

2010 is coming and with it the Mid-term elections. What happens then will be instructive to us all.

Obama-Soetoro must really have a bad, bad birth certificate to try to hide it like he has.

[punchamullah]

So, Mr Busy, WTF are you doing here?

[ZULU]

I think Obama was a guy that the Saudis and Soros targetted early on as an appropriate vehicle to take over the White House and the legitimacy of his birth connections were irrelevant to them. We KNOW what the Constitution means to them anyway.

at least 500,000 people care enough to sign a petition demanding public proof.

btw, the election is over. you can head back to dailykos now, newbie

Totalitarian mindset on display.

Unfortunately, the totalitarian left will use the courts as the noose to hang us, just a Franken is doing, and others.

When I think of how Nixon has been reviled, I seethe.

There was a man who was cheated out of the presidency, but didn't challenge it, because of what it would do to the country.

This all changed in the election of 2000, with Al Gore and the Democrats' playbook.

I dispise them so much.

And of course, that is how 0bama got this far; dirty politics against his rivals, starting with Democratic oppostion in the primaries for the State Senate in Illinois, then against Ryan in the 2006 Senate Race.

Between ACORN and the endless litigation in the courts over election results, I am truly pessimistic about free and fair elections ever taking place again at the National level.

[healy61]

Surely, you are not serious. The more Obama prevents showing proof, the more I am convinced he is hiding his ineligibility. Yes, plenty of people care.

[happygrl]

Things that make you go hmmmmm....

RE: Nothing to see here, move along.

A sarcastic phrase from the Clinton years.

IE: Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes.

Don’t take it personally.
