Judge tosses out Army captain's complaint questioning president's birth.

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land tossed out on Wednesday a complaint by an Army captain fighting deployment to Iraq by questioning the legitimacy of President Barack Obama.

Land also put attorney Orly Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes and is a leader in the national “birther” movement, on notice by stating that she could face sanctions if she ever again files in his court a similar “frivolous” lawsuit — a document that at one point the judge states that a middle school student could find irony in.

According to this judge anyone can be president of the U.S. since they don’t have to provide proof of citizenship. How does one say, “president schwarzenneger”?

Ample opportunity existed...

That's a great ruling. When the next serial murderer comes to trial, I hope the defense remembers that line.

That’s not good. Obama has not produced anything that really says who he is and has gone to extrordinary lengths to hide whoever he is.

The politicians and others can ignore this; but it leads me to believe not many of them are honest and more to the point they are not being honest with the people if they allow Obama to get away with it.

In other words, it is a lot more than Obama being eligible or not. It is shouting corruption everywhere.

RE :”Apparently, Sarah Palin feels the same way you do. Birthers who go on her Facebook page to post and question the constitutional validity of Obama to be POTUS were immediately banned. I went on there and posted, “The emperor has no birth certificate”... was ZOTTED immediately.

LOL, thanks for the info. good laugh to start the day. The Palin-ers vs the Birthers !

This is just common sense. The first AA president and they want to challenge him on where he was born. Perfect food for the race baiters, every night on cable TV they say: “They don't care about the issues, it's all about a black man elected president”

Cut the constitution crap, if the shoe were on the other foot MSNBC would be crying ‘constitution’ and you ‘constitutioners’ would be defending McCain or whoever was republican.. Where were you constitutioners when the supreme court violated the US constitution in Bush vs Gore?

I know my work will be cut out for me years after Obama is gone re-editing Wiki and any other online history sites about the failed Black President of the 2008 election.

I just cannot understand the reason for trying to build an image based on lies.

The truth cannot be buried forever.

Dont get me wrong, I dont care about individuals bring lawsuits. It’s that the birther movement has a ‘crackpot’ stigma , easily turned into a ‘racist’ stigma as it has been, that requires that anyone in any responsible position publically disown it. Just dont act disappointed when the court cases fail as they are all likely to. He was elected. No judge will throw out the election after months in office because of where he might be born.

Better to pass a law with a specific verification test a court can use prior to taking of office, and no the law cant be retro-active LOL

Obama then moved on to the general election, where he faced Sen. John McCain, who Land states got $84 million to wage his campaign.

That is a drop in the bucket compared to what the usurper illegally harvested from overseas contributors

The ruling stinks to high heaven and it sounds like a copy of what the Barry's SS-troopers are arguing with judge Carter for dismissal!

Like the media outlets got a "phone call" so did judge Land!!

A new "After-Birther" was born in Georgia!!!

This issue is NOT going away. I would think there are a bunch of others in the armed forces who think and believe the same as Capt. Rhodes!!!

Are there any here who has close connection with our soldiers who can verify this???

Beck may be onto another Canada Free Press Story that they were working with North East Intelligence.

They have documents and testimony of Major News anchors from major Networks that were threatened by Obama Administration staff, NOT to bring up the BC or Natural Born Citizen issue.

Great interview in archives at Laurie Roth (3 hours long), but I highly recommend it. They state that they are storing documents in the US and copies in Canada, and maybe one other Country, if I remember correctly. The investigator is no amateur.

(and Northeast Intelligence intro and documentation at link below)

“4 August 2009: Do you remember Watergate? Thirty-five years ago this Sunday, U.S. President Richard M. Nixon submitted his letter of resignation for his role in the scandal. There was the crime - the break-in, and then there was the cover-up by the Nixon administration. There were threats, media manipulation and disinformation. It was the cover-up more than the crime itself in the aftermath of the Watergate break-in that led to the downfall of the Nixon administration. It was a politically critical time for our country, but we survived because of the strength of the U.S. constitution. “

But mccain just wanted to be civil

Nope! McCain was not born on US soil so he knew that if he pursued Hussein's eligibility, his eligibility would also be questioned. He knew that either way it would not turn out well for him...

I think the judge was totally po’d at the fact Orly can’t write a brief or a motion correctly. She came off as a little over the top in this Motion. An attorney can’t call the defendent’s names or imply behavior.

Even if Orly had written this thing correctly, the judge would have thrown it out. Most of them are liberal and most don’t want to lose their jobs or be singled out as the one to go against the Big O. That’s why I hope this judge in CA does what we are hoping he does, and now that Orly has to work with the other Counsel, perhaps more convincing legal arguments will be spelled out, not ones based on emotion and “ubsubstantiated” facts. Her heart is in the right place but she has to learn the rules of conduct before a judge. “Just the facts, Jack”. That the first thing we learn as paralegals - keep the emotion out of it. Convince the court on facts.

You know what I would like to see? More breach of the Constitution cases brought against the Secretary of States and the Electorates for not vetting the candidates properly. I would also like to a lawsuit againt Nancy Pelosi for breach of constitutional law when she submitted the Nomination for Barack and Biden without the words confirming he was eligible for the Presidency. Why, in God’s name, were there two documents in the first place? Where are our constitutional law attorneys right now? Why can’t we file a class action suit as Americans against this President and Congress? We have all been hurt by his presidency. All of us, as well as our the next 3 generations, are in debt to our eyeballs because of him. We, as a nation, are losing our jobs, our farms, our banks, our money. I say we’ve been harmed and we now have standing.

Any attorneys out there ready to take this on? I’ll sign up. My livelyhood and my very existence, my health, lies in this man’s and Congress’ hands. There has to be something we can do as a nation to redress our grievances.

Sorry. Long post. I’m just fed up.

Where were you constitutioners when the supreme court violated the US constitution in Bush vs Gore?

You have made it clear that you did not stand with our Florida Freepers who stayed, watched and insisted that those recounts were counted legally. There were 6-7 recounts and media recounts, some after the SCOTUS ruling, and Gore lost every one....

Now don't make up a straw argument to defeat. I said nothing about any of that,

I only said that the ruling violated the US constitution that specifically GIVES the election decisions to the states, (the Voting Rights Act is questionable too). The Federal government is not granted that power. Nor is there a right to vote. Read your constition before you claim your sole argument is 'the constitution'

BTW : The Freepers had very strong feelings on who they wanted to win, maybe that is not the best argument to use.

What's the matter with you? Who do you think that you are kidding? Here in your post # 26 on this thread, last line, sickoflibs wrote" Where were you constitutioners when the supreme court violated the US constitution in Bush vs Gore? "
