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.

Thanks for the really great post!
I couldn't find out what happened with this case. Does anyone know? PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 10, 2008 – On October 27, 2008
Obama Presidency Challenged By New Jersey Voter re:"natural born citizen" - Before US Supreme Court
While raising it as an ancillary issue, Plaintiff in this case didn't rely upon questioning Obama‘s birth certificate as the core Constitutional issue. Rather, he alleges that even if Obama was born in Hawaii, he was born to a Kenyan national father and is therefore not eligible to be President due to having dual loyalties at birth and split jurisdiction at the time of his birth.
The cause of action first accrued on September 22, 2008, when Secretary Wells certified to county clerks, for ballot preparation, a written "statement", prepared under her seal of office, that was required by statute to contain names of only those candidates who were "by law entitled" to be listed on ballots in New Jersey. The statement is demanded by N.J.S.A. 19:13-22.
The law suit raises a novel contention that the statutory code undergoes legal fusion with the Secretary's oath of office to uphold the US Constitution thereby creating a minimum standard of review based upon the "natural born citizen" requirement of Article 2, Section 1, and that the Supremacy clause of the Constitution would demand those requirements be resolved prior to the election.
The key fact, not challenged below, surrounds two conversations between the plaintiff-appellant and a key Secretary of State Election Division official wherein the official admitted, twice, that the defendant-Secretary just assumed the candidates were eligible taking no further action to actually verify that they were, in fact, eligible to the office of President. These conversations took place on October 22nd and 23rd.
Plaintiff-Appellant then initiated the litigation process on Monday, October 27th.
