Never mind, found it myself. From the complaint: "On or about August 17, 2009, Plaintiff Captain Connie Rhodes, M.D. F.S. received from the Defendants in this cause what appeared to be facially valid orders mobilizing him to active duty as an medical specialist with the United States Army at Fort Benning for frontline “GWOT” service in Afghanistan on Saturday, September 5, 2009.""

Is Orly Taitz completely stupid? Or is the concept of proof-reading her cut-n-paste legal filings completely foreign to her?

I think this is not fair to Orly Taitz. Having been involved with several legal cases I have found most attorneys make this kind of spelling error. Even those lawyers born in the USA with the benefit of life-long residence and education here.

She is doing the heavy lifting under extremely difficult circumstances. You should give her a break.

She also says that Rhodes is going to Afghanistan, but the actual deployment order (and the TX TRO Motion) says Rhodes is going to Iraq. There’s a few (dozen) more similiar “issues” — She spells Colum[b]us wrong; she refers to her pro hac vice motion from Florida (in this Georgia Court); She seeks a jury trial for injunctive and declaratory relief; and much more....

Spelling errors? Try gender errors, geographical errors, procedural errors, and so on. It seems that every one of her filings is designed for one reason and one reason only, to be dismissed as quickly as possible.

OK, I'm sorry she's incompetent.

I'm thinking it's not a bad "tactic" to take at all. Everything else tried has either failed (for various reasons) or is stalled at the moment. So, why not?

File a suit that says, very simply, "the defendant has publicly stated that a foreign government "governed" him at birth", "your honor, can a US NBC be governed at birth by a foreign power?"

Would the court simply "take his word" that such was the case? Or...would the court order discovery? If it turned out during the discovery that his (alleged) father's marriage to his (alleged) mother was not legal...and therefore he didn't have British citizenship at birth and therefore his public statement admitting such is not truthful...at least discovery would have occurred, possibly answering MANY other questions about Barry (i.e. real place of birth, real father, real mother, real birth date, etc).

Why not challenge him on his own "admission" of being governed at birth by a foreign power?

You appear to be suggesting an advisory opinion, really a document fishing expedition that might find something damaging, but for which no actual controversy yet exists (plaintiff with standing making a claim that a court is able to remedy).

See:

advisory opinion

n. an opinion stated by a judge or a court upon the request of a legislative body or government agency. An advisory opinion has no force of law but is given as a matter of courtesy. A private citizen cannot get an advisory ruling from a court and can only get rulings in an actual lawsuit. State attorneys general also give advisory opinions at the request of government officials. These opinions are often cited as the probable correct law on the subject but are not binding.

http://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=2358&bold=%7C%7C%7C%7C

actual controversy

n. a true legal dispute which leads to a genuine lawsuit rather than merely a “cooked up” legal action filed to get a court to give the equivalent of an advisory opinion. Federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, will only consider an “actual controversy”, on appeal, since they will not give advisory (informal) opinions or make judgments on “friendly suits” filed to test the potential outcome.

Leo Donofrio thinks only Quo Warranto action brought by the US AG or the DC Circuit Court could be successful now that Obama has been sworn in, absent impeachment. Quo Warranto, unlike a civil or criminal lawsuit, puts the burden of proof on Obama to show that he is eligible. See Leo’s site for details:

No. I'm not. I'm asking a very simple, very straight forward question:

Why not challenge him on publicly admitted "facts?"

Why, then, not ask a court how he could be US NBC based on public admissions of being governed by a foreign power?

On the contrary, virtually all other cases HAVE been "fishing expeditions" so far as I can tell (being a non lawyer).

What would be your recommendation as to how a case should be brought forward?

OK, i see. Instead of "asking" the court, "tell" the court.

Allege to the court he can't be US NBC based on public admissions of being governed by a foreign power.

Or, do you have a better idea?

Yeah, he’s been saying that since, at least, January.

Ops = Oops (or something like that).

Also, as others have previously mentioned, the date of this court hearing is the same date/time as Barry's "speach" to the school kids.

Why did this thread die? The affidavit will outlive the law suit. Is the copy of the BC real or not?

What happens if she reports as ordered, but also pursues her lawsuit?

"What happens if she reports as ordered, but also pursues her lawsuit?"

Great question. It all comes down to what she says - outside of her legal filings - and how she says it. If she keeps her head down, her mouth shut and shows up for duty, then my guess is she won't face any disciplinary actions. Of course, it all comes down to her command and how patient or tolerant they are.

They could just get rid of her. I'm not exactly sure how the Army does it. But, it's probably an administrative review board. Remember, officers serve at the "pleasure of the President". But, I would be wildly surprised if that would happen - at least initially. I'm SURE it will happen eventually.

There's some dispute that this Captain is under a service obligation because of prior scholarship monies paid on either her graduate or post-graduate education. If she is obligated, I VERY much doubt she'll be dismissed right away. I would think that the Army would get their pound of flesh.

If they would move to dismiss, it would be an understatement to say it would have PROFOUND impact or good discipline and moral, for a whole variety of reasons.

NBC= Natural Born Citizen, not National Broadcasting Company in this instance, lol.
