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.

The history books will record 2009 as one of the strangest years in American history. You could not have made this stuff up. 2010 could top it.
2009. The movie. (when does it go into production?)
And just think: we would have missed it all if one of us had told Hillary to organize the caucus states.
Hopefully, U.S. District Judge David Carter will not follow in the footsteps of the infamous Judge Crater! From wiki;
“Joseph Force Crater (January 5, 1889 – after August 6, 1930) was a judge in New York City who disappeared on the night of August 6, 1930. He was last seen leaving a restaurant on 45th Street. He had stated earlier that he was planning to attend a Broadway show. His disappearance became one of the most famous in American history and pop culture, and earned him the title of “The Missingest Man in New York”.
Yep, he’s a troll alright.
The judge did comment that if there are legitimate constitutional questions regarding Obama’s eligibility, they need to be addressed and resolved.
“Yep, he’s a troll alright.”
I could hear an echo in his post...the cave is a deep one...what a putz...take a look at his posting history...
BTW, welcome to Free Republic.
jess, he has a point. And remember, when any crimes are prosecuted ... the escape route is planned ... and Venezuela takes exiled heads of state.
Welcome to FR.
Kicking mud on a Marine noob?
LOL. It can happen, no doubt. I’ll be he’s packing heat though
Both the MSM and the White House will ignore the trial and its verdict. Congress will pay no attention, and the Attorney General will refuse to enforce any decision adverse to his Master. The constitution carries no weight with Obama or his Kool Aid drinking minions.
Should the court find Obama ineligible to govern, it may well spark a constitutional crisis with unpredictable results, but potentially very dangerous for the U.S. justice system if, as but one example, Obama refuses to honor the constitution and the laws of the nation.
If both a president and his Attorney General refuse the rule of law, we will have arrived officially at Banana Republic status.
probably not what we think,rather several lies in his biographies that will come to light.He’ll then be in the unenviable position of having to say he embellished or covered up aspects of his past.
Even better,he might have to blame Ayers for taking liberties while doing the actual writing and,”yanno,i should have been more diligent reading what he wrote about my life.”
“...and Venezuela takes exiled heads of state.”
Sometimes, that’s ALL they take...the heads...
Getting the fraud Obama elected already has made us a BR. We are trying to restore America to its Constitutional Republic status.
It’s the old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times” coming to pass.
No, you are wrong.
The Fed lawyers did introduce a motion to dismiss the case as it was reported here on FR. A judge can summarily throw out the case at anytime.
You should read this below as it is posted above by BP2, # 26. Notice the bold lettering:
10/5/09 Defense Motion to Dismiss to be heard. Carter indicted only a very strong compelling reason would move him to dismiss at this point. He will review the defense’s 9/4/09 MTD. He wants to hear the case on it’s merits. Discovery to be ordered 10/5/09 if MTD is thrown out.
You're very new here. In fact only hours old or minutes.
Judge Crater PING!
You're new here. The Birthers invented a make-believe requirement found nowhere in the Constitution that "Natural Born" is defined as being born on U.S. soil to parents who were both American citizens.
Since Obama's father is Kenyan, he is not "Natural Born" according to Birther mythology. Yet, somehow, he was sworn in to office by Chief Justice John Roberts, a man who, according to Birthers, clearly knows nothing about the Constitution.
