Obama to appear at hearing; attorney Orly Taitz says it will be '100 times bigger than Watergate'

A Georgia judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court in Atlanta Thursday for a hearing on a complaint that says Obama isn't a natural-born citizen and can't be president.

Orly Taitz, the California attorney who brought the legal challenge to Obama's name on the March Georgia presidential primary ballot, says this is what she has been working for over the last three years.

"This will be 100 times bigger than Watergate," she said Saturday morning, referring to the scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon in 1974. "There are high ranking judges and federal officials who are involved in this cover up. The ramifications of this trial will be enormous."

Taitz said she expects the president's legal team to fight his appearance in the Georgia court.

"But he's in a catch-22," she said. "If he is appealing this decision, then he looks guilty. The whole nation understands this man is a fraud."

Taitz has led the "Birther" movement that insists Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen. She is also familiar to Georgia courts.

Don’t overlook the fact Obummer issued an EO sealing all his records.

---

You got a link to his EO sealing ‘all’ his records? He did issue an EO changing the release of Presidential Records back basically to tje President Reagan EO which had been changed under President Bush 43.

[BluH2o]

If this perchance gains legs expect the liberal MSM go into full cover up mode for Obummer. Birthers will be attacked, TEA party types attacked ... pubbies in general. Any one that is remotely sympathetic to the parties involved with bringing this case forward.

[Danae]

In a nutshell, Hatfield is asserting that Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen and cites Minor V. Happersett 1875. It is this case in which the Supreme Court of the United States defined Natural Born Citizen.

I believe the other lawyer is also going from the Natural Born Citizen definition as well. Orly Taitz is taking the Hawaii birth documents tack.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

The only way it will go anyplace is if the DNC can use this to dump Obama and replace him with Hillary—It must come from the left. Odds are noting will happen but poke fun at the silly “Birthers”.

Nice ad hominem...which is usually what people such as yourself do when they can't string together a coherent arguement.

Just because I am a realist to the ABSOLUTE truth of the current situation in no way makes me a "surrender monkey." If anything, it makes me a lot better equipped to survey the battlefield...to plan a strategy and to implement the tactics required to defeat an enemy hell-bent on our destruction. Knowing that the MAJORITY (and I mean >50%) of America does not view the Constitution the same way we do is not "surrender"...it's grasping reality. I would rather grasp reality than live in a bubble.

It's nice to hope that America would wake up and view these individuals as patriots...but if you REALLY think that...given our current trajectory...then you are seriously delusional. It's not at all realistic. It's a dream and its OK to dream but your dream is not at all based in ANYTHING tangible. There is NOTHING you can point to that even hints that America will WAKE UP.

So just because I don't chose to live in your bubble with you and hope the unicorns sprinkle magic skittles across the land and turn all the idiots into wise, patriotic citizens again...and just because I chose to live in the land of realism...understanding human nature and the nature of the evil left...doesn't mean I have surrendered. It means I just fight knowing the enemy. Too bad we can't bookmark this for 50 years from now...just so I can say I told you so...

[NELSON111]

Heck...my wife doesn't even know those names and she is as conservative as I am.

That is what I am saying. MOST PEOPLE outside of FR and a few other conservative websites have NO IDEA. They may here a couple of things on Rush...but seriously...

Look at FR. 50K posters? Maybe. Out of 300 million people? Out of 130 million voters? 50,000! And not all of those even agree. How many of those are trolls? DU plants? Romnibots? You get the idea.

Then you have GOP voters...who vote in EVERY election straight party GOP like my wife...but she doesn't really know the first thing about politics outside of what she hears me complaining about and I am one of the 50K.

People on FR really do live in a bubble. They think EVERYONE else is as informed as them. THEY ARE NOT. Most people have no clue. Most of my GOP friends did not know about the recess appointment until I told them. They just don't pay attention. They have little league, church, football. Life is busy. They aren't consumed by surfing and talking politics on FR.

For some reason many FReepers think everyone else in the US...especially conservatives...are just as involved in knowing what Barry is up to just like they are. They aren't. Maybe the Rush listeners...or the Micheal Barry show listeners. Even with THAT...you are talking 10 million? 15 million? That's 8% of the VOTERS HIGHLY informed!

8%!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FR is a much smaller percentage. Are we right? Of course. And if we have a larger voice...I have no DOUBT people would agree. Thankfully people like Rush voice our opinions by and large...but again...only 8% of the voting public listen to him...and they are already on our side.

[opentalk]

May be wise for Orly to stay more low key until the day before the hearing, talking now will put more pressures on the judge from elite unethical Obama handlers.

Keep the champagne well-iced, folks. But don't think of scheduling a victory party over this GA stuff just yet. We are entering the vast grey-green swamp called "Administrative Law." If the the good judge Malahi finds for good guys when Obama doesn't show up, or HI refuses to cough up documents, it is at that point that the legal fun STARTS.

The good news is that state election officials can pretty much do what they damn well want to do in the area of candidate qualifications. IOW, if the GA boys have the nerve, they can just throw U-NO-Hoo off the ballot because THEY THINK he doesn't meet the "Natural Born Citizen" thing. That's their job ... interpreting qualifications and such. They throw unqualified people off ballots all the time. Why not now? Sometimes, the people who are thrown off sue. Yipee!

Some of us have been clamoring for this since 2007, when The Mombasa MF first showed up on national radar with a provenance stranger than Superman's.

Dear Mr. and Ms. SOS's.

Thanks Kenny Bunk. (Good tag-line.)

The headline is misleading. There is no way that Obama will agree to appear.

On the other hand, the courts could conceivably find against him. It’s not a question of throwing him out of office, or anything like that. But they could decide that if he refuses to appear, then he is not eligible to be on the ballot in Georgia.

This is a state decision, not a federal one, although no doubt it could be appealed to the federal courts by Obama’s stooges.

Not sure it matters, since Georgia is unlikely to vote for him anyway. But it could certainly cause him trouble if he is thrown off the ballot OR if he risks appealing.

Three cheers for Orly. A patriot indeed.

[Eye of Unk]

I have a feeling Obama will share a similar fate as the Captain of the Costa Concordia.
All those that propelled Obama to his position now see him as a liability to their agenda.
I also think its quite possible Obama will step down allowing Biden to take over and then bringing Hilary up to the VP slot.

By allowing Obama to become just another average person in front of a judge raises many a curious scenario, like will they use a bible or a Koran to swear him in?

And with Obama being a Muslim would he be bound by his faith to tell the truth if he was sworn by a christian bible?

Such a conundrum!

[thecodont]

Thanks for the ping. Praying and watching on this!

Orly is a patriot indeed, God bless her.

[little jeremiah]

I think it’s odd that NELSON is wanting to say “I told you so” - he wants failure. That’s not being a realist, it’s being a defeatist.

I meet ordinary people often who have never heard of FR who know a lot about the wiles of the left, hate it, and are strong conservatives who are not stupid.

Maybe you live on the east coast?

Thanks!

Someone needs to tell Orly to stay off her blog and just do some basic lawyering for the next week or 2.

I admire her. But now it is time for her to go silent publicly, buckle down and prepare. It is NOT time to post stuff on a blog. It is bad lawyering. Judges do not like it. And it give the opposition too much information.

It is time to let Perkins Coie sweat - by going silent publicly.

The blogosphere and forumsphere is eating this up. But it is time prepare, anticipate and plan - not blog.

[GBA]

You're right. It's hopeless. FR is the only place in the known universe where obama's ineligibility has ever been discussed. We're the only ones who know about it. The rest of the world has no idea, no clue whatsoever. It's a lost cause. The Constitution isn't worth fighting for anyway. We'd be better off just admitting our defeat at the hands of obama and his state controlled media. Woe unto us.

(It's really sad that a Russian dentist/lawyer has more fight and more patriotism than you do.)

[hoosiermama]

There have been several articles in the tabloids tarketing his base. They often expand on the information found here of FR.

Someone else is doing research.
