Barack Obama Seeks To Block Discovery in Citizenship Lawsuit
Injury Board ^ | 10/10/08 | staff

Posted on 10/10/2008 6:53:14 PM PDT by pissant

In a lawsuit styled Berg v. Obama, lawyers for Barack Hussein Obama have filed a Motion for Protective Order, seeking to block discovery until his motion to dismiss is ruled on by the court. The Motion for Protective Order filed by Obama and the Democratic National Committee, asks the court to issue a protective order stopping "all discovery in this action pending the Court's decision on defendant's motion to dismiss the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted."

In his lawsuit, the Plaintiff, Philip J. Berg, a Philadelphia attorney, alleged that Defendant Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible for the Office of the President because Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian citizen and naturalized in Indonesia. Plaintiff further alleged that Obama followed her naturalization and failed to take an oath of allegiance when he turned 18 years old, to regain his U.S. citizenship status. The lawsuit raises not only the Indonesian citizenship issue but also questions whether Obama was a citizen of Kenya.

The motion to block production of documents is just the latest in a series of filings in the case, but has become a focal point of the suit. According to a web site maintained by the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff requested that three documents be produced by Obama:

1. a certified copy of Obama’s “vault” (original long version) Birth Certificate;

2. a certified copy of Obama’s Certificate of Citizenship; and

3. a certified copy of the Oath of Allegiance taken by Obama at the age of majority.

Mr. Berg asserts that if Barack Hussein Obama will produce the above documents and prove his eligibility for the Office of the Presidency, that he (Mr. Berg) will dismiss his lawsuit voluntarily. To date, Obama has refused to produce these documents to Mr. Berg.

The RNC should join Berg's lawsuit. They certainly have standing. How about the Libetarians or the Constitution Party. Step up to the plate, fellers

This is rich, the Presidential candidate does not want to prove he is qualified to be President. How does that work again? What do we get a do over if it proves he is Kenyan?

There’s no good reason for him to try to block discovery...unless!

ANd no good reason why the MSM isn’t covering this case. Too busy worrying why Palin fired some mid level, incompetent bureaucrat, I guess.

I have to wonder, why hasn’t the RNC joined the suit and ask for emergency discovery?

Wow.

So what? The Dems will just in a matter of days pass a law that says you can run for Pres ONLY if you were born in the US ...
..........OR Kenya.

( there, that solved Obama’s problem. Now move along....Here comes the Messiah.)

Well, no — The laws cannot erase what was at the time ... So Buraq was a Kenyan and US citizen at the same time at the time time the laws were in effect. He therefore does not meet the naturalized citizenship qualification.

So yes they can make a new law, which covers the future, but not the past. Why wouldn’t Buraq want America to know he was Kenyan?

There are only two requirements to be President defined in the Constitution, and Obama refuses to provide evidence for one of them. Bwahhhhaaaahahahaahahahah!

Can’t do that. The citizenship requirement is in the Constitution.

There is the possibility that he was born in Hawaii but has something to hide. It is possible that his parents were not married at the time. But then again, we already knew that Obama was a b@stard.

I do believe at the time they didn’t want to face hillary.

Since that is no longer possible, McCain should be part of the lawsuit.

Berg did add some democrats as plantiffs because they are on the committee that oversees elections. One of the names added is Diane Feinstein. I’ll bet she was surprised.

Un freakin’ believable....that the FEC, RNC, FBI and DOJ are all silent on this issue of Obama’s possible fake COLB.

I had to personally go to a NYC hospital archives for them to drag up a copy of my birth certificate before applying for a passport. That a pres. candidate does not have to produce a valid birth certificate is ATROCIOUS! Beyond insanity by this hapless, spineless govt.

As I wrote in another thread, I was just thinking about this.

If Obama was born in Hawaii, there should be a notice in the local newspaper. Newspapers always print Birth notices...saying who was born. If we know Barry’s birthday, and his hometown, his name should be in the newspaper closest to his birthday. If we do not find him listed, then he wasn’t born there.

Hospitals send the list to the newspaper. It would be in the archives.

Any Hawaii FReepers willing to look? Sit and look at endless microfilm for hours? I would really like to know the truth.

Someone posted the other day that the key document was not the birth certificate. He stated the reasons why.

The sidebar reasons work in bho’s benefit....’mother was not married’, ‘father incorrect’, etc....they all play into his narrative as victim and overcoming the odds...blah..blah.

What doesn’t work is whether he is native born...for obvious reasons. He should want to put this to bed immediately unless he has something to hide.

I hope you have something to hide mr. bho. You will destroy the dem party in the process...along with thousands of msm virtual lovers.

tuckrdot.....you’re making it obvious that you’ve done some research. That announcement has been published all over the net. As you obviously know, those announcements are not official nor are they LEGITAMATE. Produce the documents as stated in the case and everyone goes their merry way.
