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.

There was a birth notice filed, but it was a vanity done by his family so it doesn't necessarily prove anything



The Berg premise is that he was born in Kenya & then his mother flew to Hawaii to register his birth & put an add in the paper to list him as born in Hawaii.

What's holding the judge back? How much case law is there to study, research to do?? Either order that discovery occur, or deny it. This does not appear to be a complicated matter to this non-lawyer.

hopefully it’s because he’s in Hillary’s pocket and he’s waiting for the optimal damage timing.

I still say that McCain can say Obama and the DNC are tying up the court system and all Obama has to do is just provide the proof and quit taking the court and the judges time with all these motions.

I heard Chris Matthews tonight talking about Obama and his “immigrant history” or something to that affect. One of the other morons on the show had to be sure and correct him that Obama is absolutely NOT an immigrant. CM was complaining about people using Obama’s middle name—how dare they!!! Makes me want to barf...

have you seen the dvd series, “Left Behind?” Do so and see who you think is a dead ringer for Obama in every way except race.

My son and I were musing on this topic this evening. Wouldn't it be lovely if the Chief Justice insists on seeing the vault copy of the birth certificate before proceeding with the oath of office on inauguration day? No certificate? Sorry, we can't proceed. You're not eligible.

Federal Courts have no jurisdiction to enforce the US Constitution? Who does, then?

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

The motion was only to stay discovery until AFTER the judge had ruled whether or not Berg has standing to bring the case to court in the first place.

At this point, the judge still hasn't ruled on Berg's standing. And if the rulings in the two cases brought against McCain are any indication, he doesn't.

And if he's found not to have standing, then discovery is a rather moot point.

Yes, Berg believes that he was born in Kenya, but I don't believe that Berg believes the birth was ever registered in Hawaii as a Hawaiian birth.

As to the ad in the paper, has anyone we trust verified that the image you display is from a Hawaiian newspaper? If so, what newspaper and what date? Does the announcement specify the location at which he was born? (From my experience, birth announcements usally contain the name of the hospital where the birth occurred.)

Probably, the only type of Plaintiff that would be found by the Court to have standing in this type of case would be an opposing candidate and/or his campaign organization.

I wouldn't expect the McCain people to do something like that. Bob Barr?
