I suspect Orly is referring to the fact that Judge Land totally ignored Obama’s Kenyan father and Obama’s assertion during the campaign that he was a dual citizen at birth. I believe Orly raised this in her filing (from memory) and Land dove right into BC issues with no discussion or justification of why or how Obama can be a natural born citizen with a Kenyan citizen father.

Perhaps this is grounds for appeal. On appeal it could be asserted that Judge Land failed to apply the law (the NBC provision of the Constitution) to the facts (fact of dual citizenship at birth).

Appeal what? Courts at a higher level won't touch this until it's made it through the lower courts first. She has nothing to appeal. Best she can do is buff it up and refile it.

If I had to guess I would say, from the comments he made,that basically this judge is a gutless wonder.

He is afraid to take a case solely on it merits when its too high a profile. Too afraid of peer review.What will the other judges/lawyers say.

With all the evidence that has been garnered, all the suppositions, all the questioning any judge worth his salt,a man who is interested in right and wrong, justice and injustice, would have taken this case and made the usurper prove he is legit.

Whoops!

Leo Donofrio says Orly never argued dual citizen issue in Rhodes. She made such a big deal about it in other filings.

Leo:

If you read the Judge’s order, he correctly points out that no FACTS were alleged to support the claim, only innuendo. This is EXACTLY the reason i said the pleadings were insufficient - nowhere in the pleading did it state the FACT that Obama was British at birth and that he has admitted this fact. It’s clear from the very first paragraph that the Judge only conisdered Obama’s BC and place of birth... he never discussed the dual citizen issue because it was NEVER raised...
