Loyal to Liberty
I just received a call from Orly Taitz, my attorney in the case seeking proof of Obama's eligibility for the Office of President of the United States. Judge Carter has released a statement declaring that the dates he set for the hearing and trial on the eligibility issue are confirmed, and it will move forward as scheduled. Apparently he was not swayed by the Obama lawyer's arguments.
The innovation of announcing a prospective VP running mate prior to the convention and/or voting was introduced by President Reagan in his failed bid in 1976.
Google "de factor officer doctrine" (I posted two SCOTUS links on this thread). Whatever else happens, whether it's Usurper Obama or President Obama, whatever he has done in office has the force of law and stands. Unfortunately.
Regardless of which side loses they can appeal. But the odds of their appeal getting anywhere are extremely slim. Upper courts rule on lower court decisions. Dismissals are very seldom taken up.
And he would at least want to show serious thought on the issue so his ruling stands and is not overturned.
I have absolutely no doubt that Judge Carter will rule on the law and the law alone. And that there is nothing Obama or Orly could do that would cause him to rule any differently.
So the order today to finalize the court dates is not really that indicative of anything.
Nothing but the bureaucratic wheels of justice slowly grinding.
Yes - I keep praying that Judge Carter will remember his days in Vietnam and think about the current fighting men and women of the armed forces with a CIC who will not even spend $15 to verify that he meets the Constitutional requirements to be eligible for that office.
To me that says everything that you need to know about the character (or lack thereof) of BHO.
Non-Sequitur wants to make sure you stay numb.
If West has simply said:
"Per Judge Carter's order, discovery is stayed in this case. We will not agree to any discovery in this case at this time."
....I would agree with you. That's straight to the point, and doesn't make any editorial comments.
His initial reply of "NUTS", then pretending that it was an adequate response and belittling the request for clarification was just downright unprofessional and calls his competence into question.
"NUTS" is something you or I would post in jest on FR. It's not appropriate for legal proceedings.
Sometimes when faced with stupid request, smart-alek replies are the only appropriate answer.
I'd rather go back a little farther, and fly something uniting. Any of these would do.
I'm rather fond of the third one, since it was carried by part of Col. Patrick Henry's (who put his a$$ where his mouth was) First Virginia Regiment.
In October-November 1775 three hundred such minutemen, led by Colonel Stevens, assembled at Culpeper Court House and marched for Williamsburg. Their unusual dress alarmed the people as they marched through the country. The word "LIBERTY OR DEATH" were in large white letters on the breast of their hunting shirts. They had bucks' tails in their hats and in their belts, tomahawks and scalping knives.
But..but...but....he's a Harvard Grad! At least...supposedly. Unless...it was a special deal cause he's just so....special.
Gary Kreep is the only lawyer in all of Birtherdom with a measure of competence. And when all is said and done, he'll probably be the only one still retaining a license to practice law and something of a professional reputation. I can only imagine the exasperation he must feel at being coupled with the team of Taitz and Lincoln. No wonder he showed up an hour late on Monday. he's probably written this case off as a lost cause. I'm sure it's a safe bet that Kreep and Taitz won't be exchanging Christmas cards this year.
I realize how facts must make your head hurt.
How's that worked out for you?
Because even if she loses, you lost your integrity standing up for the evasion of freedom’s law.
Thanks for your thoughtful post, Sara.
Non Sequitur, hopefully you will seriously consider Sara's comments. You may be doing your job right now, but you have a lot to lose in the long run. Don't think you will be one of the favored ones; it won't happen, no matter what they tell you. Count on it.
Sara's comments will echo to you throughout the remainder of your lifetime.
You should hang your head in shame.
Or....maybe a combination of flags. Since...it’s ok to change the US flag like that. I’m almost certain nobody could or would complain about OUR choice of flags. Let’s test that theory.
Technically, you are correct, but the fact that the judge confirmed the trial date today practically implies that the defendants' dismissal motion is doomed to failure. At least that's what plaintiff EternalVigilance thinks, and there is little reason to doubt him. Still, better not count one's chickens before they hatch.
Hey..that was MY line!
With "friends" like you, who needs enemies?
This is the United States of America. English is the de facto national language. It is a required skill for a licensed attorney practicing law here.
I excuse Mrs. Altair's poor use of English because it is her 4th language, but then she does not practice law in the United States.
"Poor George, he can't hep it ... he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth."
I find myself going to that more and more on Birther threads. Half the time the remarks go right over the Birther's head though.
Yes, they did pass that. But many of the same people repealed and replaced it in 1795. The new law, like every other naturalization act since, left out the words "natural born", and just made those "children of citizens born beyond the sea" (although they changed that a bit as well) to be "considered to be citizens". The first law was likely unconsituttional as an exercise of a power not granted. They had the power to define "naturalization", not natural born status. They still don't have the power to define it.
Indeed, a date that will ...
