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 Courts 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 Robertsons 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 attorneys 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 operationsall 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 wont 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 meand 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 upnever 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?

Those who care about the rule of law and the constitution care.
Common sense (which I guess is not so common) says Obama is hiding something big and bad that would render him ineligible to run for president (i.e. not a natural born citizen).
Why else would Barack/Barry Obama/Dunham/Soetoro have TEAMS of lawyers running interference on any request for his birth certificate, school records, medical records, travel records, Selective Service records, name changes, etc.

This thread sure brought out the Obots, didn’t it?
They are wasting their time here- or maybe they’re just gluttons for punishment.

“...The Saudis are with us...They are governmentally very conservative - and are the only muslim country with its head on straight....Where is your hatred of Saudis coming from?”
.
The Saudis sell us oil and use the money to finance madrassas and Islamic temples world wide that recruit / train Islamic terrorists and promote Sharia.
I wouldn’t consider living under Sharia having ‘its head on straight’.
The Saudis are ‘with us’ only in as much as our money and military are useful to them.

I suspect you have addressed your rant to the wrong individual. I have been called many names in my life, but never a leftist.

I was puttin the shoe on the other foot. You disparaged all Saudis much the same as I disparaged all Americans for the radical views of a few.

The Saudis head a state controlled by the Wahhbaist Muslims.
The Wahhabists are the most RADICAL of extreme Muslim religious groups. They bankroll anti-American, anti-Semitic Madrassehs and mosques all over the world and staff them with Wahhabist Clerics.
I don’ think they were with us in both Iraqi Wars. WE were with THEM except WE did most of the dying and ALL of the paying. It was to THEIR best interests to keep Iran out of Iraq and we accomplished that - SO FAR.
As to calling this Wahhabist Shiekdom “conservative”, I take umbrage with that. The people on this forum are Conservative. The Wahhabist Saudis are religious fanatics who imposed Sharia Law on their own people, try to impose it in other countries with their petrodollars, don’t even allow people of other Muslim sects to establish Mosques and Madrassehs in the Kingdom, and when we were saving THEIR sorry butts in Desert Storm, they wouldn’t even allow Amercan troops to have bibles there or wear stars of David or crosses. Their schools continue to preach anti-Semitic anti-Israeli garabage.
As for the Bush clan connection with the Saudis, the less said the better. The Bushes are globalists and they had a far too comfortable connection with these fiends. I remember Bush II walking pinky in pinky with one of these msicreants.
And I don’t doubt for one minute that Saudi money wasn’t laundered into Obama’s political campaign.

Heres my Tea Party/BC story: Stood in a light rain in Sioux City, IA near the Missouri River. I stayed a block away from the Tea Party participants and did my own thing on a very busy street. Held up a sign Where was obama born??? for two hours until I counted over 2,000 cars had passed by. I stood alone and was nervous for the first few minutes but then a few people started honking for me and giving me the thumbs up sign and then I was loving it. It was hard work because I was enthusiastic and now I am very tired.
Also got quite a few negatives: some people gave me the bird and two people parked their car and came to tell me he was born in Hawaii; they saw it on CNN. But no one jumped the curb to try and murder me anyway....

“Obama Attorney Threatens Distinguished Veteran on Obama Birth Certificate Issue: Why?”
Maybe because Obama’s attorney thinks that opposing counsel has a viable case and, therefore, prefers tactics of intimidation, rather than litigating the case on its merits?

"Your beating a dead horse. No one cares."
Then you should "move on" with the rest of the libs who flock to George Soros.
Let the true patriots handle. You clearly don't belong amongst these ranks.
