Shocker! Judge orders trial on eligibility issue Arguments planned Jan. 11 for challenge to Obama

Is this the footprint of baby Barack Obama? 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 plaintiffs 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, also were restored to the case.

correct link. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2334872/posts
NBC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, and ABC are all rushing in crews to cover this, right???
WOOHOO PING!!
Haven’t read the article yet but it sounds good!
WE SURROUND THEM!!
Well, all I can say at this point is that I am both shocked and amazed that the case was not dismissed.
Congratulations to Orly Taitz, to her clients, to America, and to the constitution.
Jan. 26, 2010? Not soon enough but better than nothing. I’m sure in the scope of most trial dates this is probably the express lane.
The WND headline is overstating the status of the case. The judge gave the case a trial date. That does not mean he ordered the case to go to trial. There are still many procedural hurdles to go before the case would actually be tried, including the October 5 hearing on DOJ’s motion to dismiss.
What will be interesting is, if she survives the MTDismiss, what happens when the judge starts letting her get into discovery. There will be motions contesting what she can get as well.
I wish her luck, but I’m just telling my fellow FReepers not to get over excited. This is no more than giving a date, which is contingent on many other things happening before the matter is actually tried. Expect lots of attempts by DOJ to postpone.
Certainly no one should expect any trial to take place on that date. Delays are not that big a deal. Surviving motions to dismiss as you say it the key thing.
