A U.S. District Court hearing to determine if a Army captain fighting deployment to Afghanistan because of the challenged the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency was rescheduled for Monday.
Capt. Connie Rhodes filed the complaint last week and Judge Clay Land granted an emergency hearing Friday afternoon in the Columbus federal courthouse.
Rhodes, a medical doctor who was with her unit in Fort Riley, Kan., did not attend the hearing. That prompted Land to reschedule it for noon Monday.
Rhodes is scheduled to arrive at Fort Benning Saturday and deploy within seven days.
Rhodes’ attorney Orly Taitz — a national figure in the “birther” movement — was in Land’s court. Rhodes was ordered by her commanding officers not to leave Kansas, Taitz told the court.
“That is not the information I have from Fort Riley,” said Maj. Rebecca Ausprung, with the Department of the Army, Litigation Division in Washington. Rhodes had not informed her supervisor, Ausprung told the court.
Land made it clear he wanted to hear from Rhodes.
“I am going to require her to appear, so I can ask questions of her,” Land said.
Ausprung said the Army would make Rhodes available.

No one is required to obey an unlawful order.
At least not since the only defense NAZIs offered was "We were just following orders."
Obama is usually the last thing on my mind at night and the first thing that hits my brain in the morning. It's like seeing a train wreck coming at you...you know it will be bad, you can't stop it and you can't turn away. I've been praying a lot.
You caught that to, huh.
I dunno, while I hope this case gets some legs, I'm afraid it's going to come back and bite hard.
The ROE played a role in these deaths, but they walked into an ambush and would have died regardless of the response. If we want to prevail in this operation, we have to establish some level of trust with the Afghanis, and you don’t do that by shooting every MF with a beard (although that would be my preference). As far as this wingnut Taitz and her CS captain, Taitz should be disbarred and sent back to whatever mental institution she escaped from and the good captain should be taught a lesson about the chain of command. If she honestly thinks there is even a remote possibility that her lawsuit has any merit, she’s too stupid to be an officer in the United States Army; pull her ticket and boot her ass.
Except that Hawaiian State officials are on record stating that they've seen Obama's birth certificate, it is genuine and he is eligible and they're going to carry a lot more weight in the courtroom than Lucas Smith, convicted scam artist and con man.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
You are calling every person above her in the chain of command a criminal. Give me a break.
What the hell kind of writing is this? "... if a Army captain fighting deployment to Afghanistan..." what?
You caught that to, huh.
I dunno, while I hope this case gets some legs, I'm afraid it's going to come back and bite hard.
What?
And who is the Commander in Chief of the Army?
Have you ever heard of chain of command?
You are wrong.
Judge Land should be made to understand that this case is getting a lot of publicity now and there are a lot of people defending our military against this America hater. He ought to know that we expect him to also honor our military and respect this very important question about their CIC’s authenticity ... obviously now he should know that there is at least one other judge who does - a former Marine ... as well as another serious case out there that is ongoing.
Because the fact that someone hasn’t been able to steal it is not proof that it doesn’t exist. Sheesh. I mean, not everywhere is is as loosely guarded as the National Archives.
Hearsay will carry more weight than a witness (regardless of the reputation)? Because a journalist reporting the words of another person would be hearsay, correct?
Court martial first. ;-)
Your hero will be on 60 Minutes the weekend.
Perhaps "stormer" is short for storm[troop]er?
the DNC said the same thing and they have as much credibility as the single HI official (not plural). You repreat the same thing over and over. Fukino has no credibility.
They would not have him.
It’s not the fact that someone hasn’t stolen it because it does exist. What I’m saying is: Ok, there’s a real BC out there and someone who has access to those records and knowing what a controversy there is over the whole BC issue would make some money by stealing it and selling it, or, steal it and destroy it. And yep, I saw “National Treasure” ...
