A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.
If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue.
In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly served notice on the defendants, which she had.
In a second ruling, Carter ordered that attorney Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation can be added to the case to represent defendants Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson, who had been removed by an earlier court order. Drake, the vice presidential candidate for the American Independent Party, and Robinson, the party's chairman, were restored as plaintiffs.
But the judge did not immediately rule on Taitz' motion to be granted discovery – that is the right to see the president's still-concealed records. Nor did Carter rule immediately on a motion to dismiss the case, submitted by the U.S. government, following discussion over Taitz' challenge to the work of a magistrate in the case.

I don’t know about all the instances of where he had to swear to never having used another name or alias but in the case of his law license, I think the question meant had he ever been licensed under a different name.
nope

Have you ever been known by any other first, middle or last name?
;)
I find it odd that so many on these boards claim to know the ins and outs of federal law, particular constitutional law and what the Constitution requires, yet do not know the basics on trial practice and motions practice...
+++++++++++++++
You may have a point as to relative experience or inexperience with reference to specific legal process, as many of us do have other day jobs, but I find it interesting that you could make such definitive statements about all 300,000+ Freepers from your one day trial membership here. (pun intended.)...:) Welcome...
Whether or not the motions and Carter’s orders will pan out the way many of us would like, does remain to be seen.
But at the least, we can be intrigued with this development, which takes this sort of case further than any other case like it has been so far.
before even reading the materials.

Hey, that sounds like how Congress and the POTUS handle major legislation...
Has the Illinois State Bar investigated Obama?

My question is more a legal one. If he became Soetoro, can he reappear magically someday as Obama without legally changing it back. Is he really Obama anymore?
Um, I don’t think this Marine now sitting as the Judge in this case is birbable. Stuff your accusation where it belongs, back in your nasty little brain.
That is a question I researched but did not come to a conclusion..intent to defraud may be a necessary element..
ComeOnNow - you signed up today, made four comments, all about this case.
Are you fer or agin 0bama? Just wondering.
And what ever became of that thought that he may have violated Illinois ethics laws (stop laughing). I read this about a year ago and it died?:

No need to wonder
You’re new here. The Birthers invented a make-believe requirement found nowhere in the Constitution that “Natural Born” is defined as being born on U.S. soil to parents who were both American citizens.
Since Obama’s father is Kenyan, he is not “Natural Born” according to Birther mythology.
+++++++++++++
What is a natural born citizen of the United States (and please refer to SCOTUS case law)?
It’s certainly no mythology that NBC is a US Constitutional requirement for holding the office of the POTUS.
Why block discovery? Why not release the long form BC?
Why not release the college records?
yeah, there are a lot of answers "the Transparent One" isn't providing. We all need to ask, why?
My mother couldn't afford to send me to the school where all the AMERICAN kids went.
"oh my"
I wonder how many American kids there were in Indonesia in the early 1970s? Enough for a whole school? If mama was so intent on homeschooling him, I wonder why Lolo Soetro adopted him (to give him cover of Indonesian citizenship) and enrolled him the local madrassa and registered him as a muslim?
That was my first thought. The US govt doesn't have to prove that it's eligible to be President. A private citizen should have to prove that before he's ever allowed on a ballot in any state in the union.
What a waste of taxpayer money!!
lol. but I'm being redundant.
The judge is a Marine, not a libtard unless you are offering evidence that he is.
+++++++++++++++
He *was* appointed by Clinton..
The Judge is a Marine?!
Oh, thank God.
Many Federal Judges routinly hold oral argument on motions to dismiss. Apparently Carter is one of them.
same to ya.
