Solid legal argument in the appeal brief. It’s not going anywhere, but it’s solid and accurate.
IMO, Barry will absolutely be given a Mulligan for the 2008 election because at that time there was no on-point SCOTUS ruling that he was not eligible and the entire legal elite chose to “evade” the issue including SCOTUS because Barry was so “precious.”
On January 26, 2012 for the first time a hearing on the merits took place. Hatfield and Van Irion competently placed the Minor v. Happersett precedent holding before the court on a path that can get to SCOTUS. At least one of the two attorneys attempted to compel production of a copy of Barry's certified HI LFBC, of which two are supposedly in Barry's possession (Ha!).
Unfortunately, Dr. Taitz failed to competently produce evidence and testimony supporting her claims of forgery of Barry's identity documents, none of which have ever been produced in any court to date.
I do not for a minute believe that any lower federal court judges will uphold Malihi’s citation of an Indiana state appeals court to affirm Barry's NBC status. Some new corrupted interpretation of precedent will be found first. Then it will be up to Justice Kennedy, as usual, to arrive at the ultimate 5-4 ruling for or against Barry.
