Opponents of Barack Obama's presidency claim small court victory
Los Angeles Times ^ | 7/13/09 | Tami Abdollah

Supporters of a case that disputes the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency claimed a small victory today when U.S. District Judge David O. Carter told them to fix their paperwork and that he would listen to "the merits" of their case. But others present for the hearing Monday at the federal courthouse in Santa Ana stressed that the case remains a long way from ever getting a full airing in court and may never get to that point.

The case, Alan Keyes, et al. v Barack H. Obama, et al. was filed on Inauguration Day and is one of a raft of suits alleging Obama is ineligible to be president because he is not a "natural born citizen.” Such claims have fared badly in court to date. In December, for example, the Supreme Court dismissed without comment a case challenging Obama’s right to take the oath of office.

Perhaps because of that history, Orly Taitz, the lawyer who filed the current suit, was greatly cheered by Monday’s hearing. "He's very determined to hear the case on the merits," Taitz said, referring to the judge. "He stated, the country needs to know if Mr. Obama is legitimate, if he can legitimately stay in the White House."

That’s not quite the way Asst. U.S. Atty. David DeJute heard the judge’s comments. Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, said that “the judge did make a bunch of comments about having the matter correctly and thoroughly aired, once and if they got to the merits of the actual lawsuit, which was not the subject of today's discussion."

The key word is “if,” Mrozek stressed. “We're literally at procedural grounds at this point in time," he said.

Come on Barack, assuming you really ARE a citizen, just sign a consent form and be done with it.

This is an odd coincidence i guess, but just thought id share it. I was reading about the Antonov-25 airplane that flew those ultra long range flights from Moscow to the pacific northwest in the late 1930s.

After the flight across the icecap, they landed at BARAK airfield near Vancouver! And supposedly Obama’s mom lived in Seattle about the time of his birth. One of the theories is that she gave birth in Vancouver. Is “Barak” a family name? Did she name him after the place where Soviet airmen landed? This is from Wiki, i wonder about them on politics, but this was an article about old airplanes. I just thought it was odd for that name to pop up in Vancouver back then, associated with a communist record setting flight.

From Wikipedia,,

“Belyakov made a non-stop flight from Moscow to Portland, United States in a bad weather condition during most of the airway. After 60 hours of flight they passed Seattle, after two more hours passed Portland lighthouse on a Columbia River and headed deeper into USA territory but over the city of Eugene they founded a fuel shortage and turned back to the Vancouver military airbase.[2] They landed on a Vancouver’s Pearson Airfield[3] (by the other sources – Barak Airfield[4]). The 9,130 km (5,673 mi) trip took 63 hours and 25 minutes. The ANT-25 gained fame after this flight. In 1975, an obelisk was erected on an airfield commemorating this event.”

Some comments could be considered racist.

all this just a few days after the 0bama admin let ‘slip’ the name of his ‘birth hospital’

to me... that says they believe the phony documents are sufficient to defend their position

i would be VERY surprised if all people involved were not dead or the hospital itself didn’t have a fire in the records room sometime in the last 40 years

Pearson is in Vancouver, Washington - the USA. If she gave birth to him there, then he's a US Citizen, natural born.

IIRC BhO has to hire his own attorneys can not use federal system for his personal use. Remember WJC tried that and got his hands slapped.

I believe the DNC Compliance Fund is paying the bills. They are stuffed with cash, after having raised the most money in the history of presidential elections.

And in any event there is no doubt Soros will ensure that BO's legal bills are paid.

Yes, the case for Freeper Major Cook will be considered in a hearing this coming Thursday with Dr. Orly.

The actions yesterday from Judge Carter in Dr. Orly's Keys V Obama case are very promising. It looks like we finally have a Judge who will at least listen and help bring the truth to light.

Biden/Pelosi will also be easier to beat in 2012 (lol).

That’s if their whole 2008 ticket doesn’t get disqualified.
