Obama is "NOT" qualified to be President of the United States Lawsuit Against Obama Dismissed from Philadelphia Federal Court
For Immediate Release: - 10/25/08 - Contact Info at end. UPDATE: Ruling attached at end. It's a really poor copy, but it is all we have for the moment. Willl put up a better copy when we get one.
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/25/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that he is immediately appealing the dismissal of his case to the United States Supreme Court. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Berg said, "I am totally disappointed by Judge Surrick's decision and, for all citizens of the United States, I am immediately appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution. If I don't have standing, if you don't have standing, if your neighbor doesn't have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States - the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world - then who does?
So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned.
According to Judge Surrick, we the people have no right to police the eligibility requirements under the U.S. Constitution.
What happened to ‘...Government of the people, by the people, for the people,...’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863.
We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the Office of the Presidency of the United States,” Berg said.
Our website obamacrimes.com now has 71.8 + million hits. We are urging all to spread the word of our website – and forward to your local newspapers and radio and TV stations.
Berg again stressed his position regarding the urgency of this case as, “we” the people, are heading to a “Constitutional Crisis” if this case is not resolved forthwith.

Many have that problem. The “one” is hiding his life.
Retired Greyhound: “How could this judge say that a US Citizen has no standing about his president?”
I wish I knew. How exactly would someone enforce the “natural born” requirement if no one has the right to force the candidates to provide proof of birth? Legally, who has standing to ensure requirements for political office are complied with?
According to the ruling, Berg’s case failed to prove he’d be harmed if his claims in the suit were correct. We’re talking about a very fine point of Constitutional law (who has standing & can prove harm, the public or the candidates who should rightfully have been the party’s nominee?) There are a few other cases chasing this same issue. SCOTUS may wait until one of those other cases have a ruling, so they can claim they had to take it, because the issue was “ripe”. SCOTUS generally prefers to take on the cases that have opposing rulings out of the Appellate Courts.
Nope
The law firm is democratic connected and where Michele and Barack once worked. Possibly no conflict but pehaps needs to be investigated. This guy had clerked for the Judge.
If he isn’t,the the point is mute.
This is just a guess....”
This is exactly what the Judge ruled in the McCain case. Only the judge did go the extra step and ruled that McCain was qualified after McCain gave the court the paperwork it was looking for. Judge Surrick just punted.
Surrick essentially says in his decision that his court does not have jurisdiction. Its on page 6 of the ruling. Link here: http://www.flds.ws/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/obama-surricks-10242008-ruling.tif
Seems as though McCain would have standing to question this, but it would be political suicide for him to file a lawsuit at this time.
It seems to me that since he is a Sanator in the state of Illinois, anyone in that state would have standing to ask the question and expect a document that proves that he is a U.S. citizen. I don’t think you have to be born a U.S. citizen to be a Senator, by you do have to be a citizen. Why can’t someone in Illinios file the same suit?
He has never turned in any to anyone.
He Ran UNOPPOSED for Senator for Illinois! There was no one to FORCE the issue!
That conspiracy site does make a good point.
“he was no more a teenager and both Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein had been already on stage for a while, at the time he got his name changed from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama II.”
How did Obama get his American passport? While I realize that a passport only means he is a citizen, and I am sure he is, it does not mean he is a natural-born citizen. Nevertheless, one needs some sort of birth certificate to get a passport, doesn’t one?
This stuff must be on file. Obama does not wish to share it, but I am sure it’s not because he is hiding a lack of proper citizenship.
Rather, it may list something else on there he feels would not be palatable. That seems kind of stupid, as anything on there happened when he was incapable of responsibility. Even if his father is a different man, or his religion was Islam, none of that was his fault or doing.
Here is one of the many problems with waiting until he is elected..Rodney king riots will look like a tea party compared to what we will see.
If his court has no jurisdiction, then the rest of his decision is useless and pointless.
Just bloviation..
He likely has a Senate issued Diplomatic Passport. They all get them.
Gee..I guess I’m smarter than I look...
:0)
That is the preamble (aka introduction) of the Constitution, it may have judicial weight but I cannot think of any decisions that were ever based on it.
Nor can do I know of any cases for which the preamble was a basis for argument.
contribution to what?
WHILE he is judge?
