Americans’ who do not believe President Obama is a U.S. citizen won a huge decision in California as a judge set three court dates, one of which will require the President to prove his citizenship.
The case will be heard by U.S. District Judge David Carter in Southern California, it is the first time the merits of the President’s citizenship will be argued in open court.
The first obstacle the plaintiffs will have to overcome is an October 5 motion to dismiss as well as the arguments on the issue of discovery. From there the plaintiffs will have to navigate a pretrial hearing before Judge Carter will hear the case tentatively set for January 26, 2010.
According to Jeff Schwilk, who was in the courtroom, the judge was solid as a rock. “The audience of about 45 was nodding and giving thumbs up to each other on almost all of his decisions.”
“He (the judge) is determined to get Obama to prove he is eligible,” Schwilk explained. “Things are going to move very fast.”
However, Judge Carter hasn’t ruled on the discovery motion, which is the right to see the President’s still-concealed records. Judge Carter didn’t rule on the motion to dismiss either.
The next few weeks will tell if the California plaintiffs will actually be able to challenge President Obama in open court.
The lawsuit claims President Obama is actually a citizen of Indonesia or Kenya. This would violate the U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, it says, “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of the President.”
The records put forth by the President show that President Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth took place in Hawaii.
“It’s pretty close to check mate, but of course the Obama team will try to come up with something to get their way,” Schwilk finished.
Sweet!
Let the forgeries begin. (again)
Can’t be said enough: This is hugh!
This won't go anywhere.Some higher court will put a stop to it.
MSM? ::crickets::
Call me cynical
Judge Carter was nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1998.
Should be interesting. Dont get your hopes up to high.
Judge: “President Obama, show the court proof you are eligible.”
Obama: “No.”
Then what?
One big clue would be to turn the document over and see where it was made...
Made in Kenya
Made in China (they bought it in WalMart)
If it has some invisible ink, then it is probably a clue that will lead you to another clue, to another clue...You know the drill...
Thats kinda what they want to have happen now...
I had to look at the source to see if the first two sentences were written as shown above. It is unbelievable that such poor writing would appear in a major newspaper. Ugh.
I was pondering this earlier. What happens if he IS found to be a fraud? Does that reset everything back to 19 Jan 2009? All laws, all Supreme Court assignments, all AGs? Is there any jurisprudence on this? Any legal FReepers?
Hmmmm, let’s see, in about a year and three months, they will find the birth certificate on an upstairs table at the White House.
Watts riots times 100!
The Obama strategy will be quite simple. Prove nothing. Provide nothing. Lose. Appeal. Win.
Obama: “No.”
Then what?
Technically, a failure to provide the required information would be a legal admission of the claim against him. More likely, the court would grant full discovery to the plaintiffs, including a court order to the state of Hawaii to disclose the "long form" birth certificate to the plaintiffs.
That is, assuming it ever gets that far. Which, given the way this has unfolded before, is very unlikely.
Judge declares plaintiffs win by default, and president is considered unqualified.
Military has reasonable cause and duty to stand down until situation changes.
