A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.
If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue.
In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly served notice on the defendants, which she had.
In a second ruling, Carter ordered that attorney Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation can be added to the case to represent defendants Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson, who had been removed by an earlier court order. Drake, the vice presidential candidate for the American Independent Party, and Robinson, the party's chairman, were restored as plaintiffs.
But the judge did not immediately rule on Taitz' motion to be granted discovery – that is the right to see the president's still-concealed records. Nor did Carter rule immediately on a motion to dismiss the case, submitted by the U.S. government, following discussion over Taitz' challenge to the work of a magistrate in the case.

In the Hollister case. The Obot judge wrote this in his opinion, "I Twittered it"
LoL!
Did he really say that??????
Would you please repeat the question?
“Would you please repeat the question?
why?
Ummmmmmmm, here's the key points:
"Carter ordered a hearing Oct. 5 on the motion to dismiss and ordered arguments submitted on the issue of discovery.
If the case survives that challenge, a pretrial hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 11 and the trial for two weeks later. "
Obviously, the the Obama lawyers didn't make their case today, and motion for discovery or dismiss is still on as is the trial date.
are you being called as a witness?
Once an Indonesian, always an Indonesian? If he thought of himself as an AMERICAN, he would have said:
WHERE ALL THE OTHER AMERICAN KIDS WENT.
Thanks for update BP2. :-)
Actually, Judge Carter, with the agreement of both plaintiff counsel and defendent counsel, set Jan 11 for POSSIBLE pre-trial and Jan 26 for POSSIBLE trial.
Without an order granting discovery, there's no sense in even pretending there's a trial.

I can’t imagine why. I’ve never been to Kenya.
At this point, when there is bad news for Obama, the O'Trolls are awaiting for further orders and reprogramming. ;-)

Well apparently there is a tentative court date set. Of course it depends on what happens on October 5th.
“Everybody calm down...”
Personally, I think we are pretty damn calm for a Republic with a total cipher sitting at the wheel appointing czars faster than Sonia Sotomayor can eat an eclair...
“So help me out - if he was not a NBC, what kind of citizen is he, and where would the records be for his swearing in? Now, if he is not a citizen at all, how can he be charged with treason against a country he is not a citizen of?”
Congratulations...this is the dumbest post I have read here in five years...what’s the point? As far as helping you out goes, I would if I were a Mod...
