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.

So anyone have any idea when Orly and co. will be able to subpeona documents? Before Oct 5th? Can they only be exposed in court?
It was Sibre Fan who posted it as a .pdf file from the court computer. the case records are public documents but you have to have access to read them.
Just as I thought as not readily available. The pay for Saber or Sabre account?
Or a Sibre. ;^)
This is one case Obama can’t avoid and one where the liberal biased media can’t hide his history.
You wrote-
“It looks like the roulette wheel of the court system where Obama has a high house edge has gone against him. He’s going to have to argue this on it’s merits.”
At that point, we go to war - and I think a fair portion of military command may be on "our side". BTW, "our side" needs a bone fide leaser...
Can they only be exposed in court?
I expect the Obamanoid lawyers will try everything to hide.
Yes, the opposition is going to have to pull a fast one to keep this out of court.
Thanks for the link to BP2’s post of the summary. I read it once before, but I’ll do it again.
Expedited discovery granted..
Wild rumor that Judge Carter has just granted expedited discovery.

We’ll see if the rumor is real or imagined, I reckon.
I’m staying pessimistic. But if it is true, all hell is about to break loose.
Thanks BBU! ;-)
Hope the report is correct. At the very least, the Obots are having heart attacks right about now. ;-)

poster says Orly going to GA to see judge Land.. Question who is Judge Land? any idea?
I don’t want to come across as paranoid, but O just extended the “National Emergency” from 9/11/01

Like you I’d love to see the court reporters transcript of the hearing as there apparently was a lot of back and forth between the Judge and the Attorneys. Or at least some other snippets I’ve read indicate there was. And how they were reported depended upon the view the writer had of the hearing, imo.
That judge is handling the active duty captain, a medical doctor, who wants confirmation of Obama’s eligibility.
