Like lawyer, like client. The letter is breathtaking in its arrogance. Sound like someone we know who occupies the oval office?
Here’s a question for some of you who have followed Orly Taitz’s various cases and others brought attempting to establish Obama’s birthplace, citizenship or Natural Born Citizenship status: Is the letter right that the substance of the claims in those cases has been found baseless? My understanding (and I haven’t followed it closely) was that (most of) the cases were dismissed on procedural grounds and never reached the substantive issue of whether Obama is eligible to run for President. For example, I seem to remember that some cases were dismissed on standing grounds, meaning that the plaintiff in a particular case does not meet certain prerequisites to qualify as someone with the legal capacity to bring that particular kind of a case. Similarly, I thought that cases were dismissed on jurisdictional grounds, meaning the judge found that it did not have jurisdiction over the type of case being brought. Like a local magistrate cannot hear a murder case or a divorce court judge cannot preside over an appeal. A state court may not be able to accept cases involving purely federal issues.
If my memory is correct, then the main thrust of this lawyer’s letter to the court is a lie (shocking, isn’t it?) and should be easily refuted. As to the contempt, I think the strategery (H/T Rush)was to answer this at the last minute so that Taitz or others could not refute it, the hearing would be postponed so that the Judge it is addressed to can look into it and hear a response. In the sturm and drang of letters firing back and forth over the next couple of weeks, Obama’s lawyer will muddy the waters so much that the court will be unwilling to issue any contempt citation. Likewise, they are hoping they can just get a pass and not have to address the merits of the case (ie: is Obama qualified?) by throwing so much cr@p at the court that they will just punt.
The lawyer’s greatest weapon, although they won’t admit it, is the scary letter on official letterhead, even if they don’t have a leg to stand on. Which is precisely why most cases settle out of court. Lawyers are professional intimidators, and arguing before a judge is the very last line of defense when all else fails.
Correct! This issue has never been heard on the merits. Tomorrow's hearing is intended to be the first.
You can ask Georgia's Secretary of State, Brian P. Kemp, to allow this case to be heard by sending a message to him here:

Rush will be silent...and so will all the other so-called “conservative” yappers.
In 2008, I turned them off and tuned them out. I can't stand to hear their voices. It's not what they talk about, it is what they **don't** talk about that disgusts me. The eligibility issue is only one of several abuses conservatives suffer that the “yappers” refuse to discuss.
Remember: Rush is the man who **lied** to a caller and when he said that he did not know who Larry Sinclair was.
Yep. Obama’s lawyer basically stated in his letter that Judge Malihi has lost control. This will infuriate Malihi. Also Isn’t it time people wake up and realize that Obama CANNOT prove his eligibility in a court of law?? Notice there’s no attempt to show EITHER of the two alleged hard copies of the alleged long form birth certificate. Can it be any more obvious that these alleged documents are deficient??
It’s guerilla disruption at the legal level. I do agree that the legal strategy seems to have Obama’s fingerprints on it.
Obama is playing chicken with the court system and relying (improvidently, IMHO) on the prestige of his current office to save his neck.
At this point, IMHO, even this should be more than obvious to the media, and the media should be digging like crazy into Obama’s background.
Things were getting out of control from the Obama camp’s perspective when all the news media indicated interest in covering the hearing. Obama is trying to limit the damage by telegraphing to the media via Jablonski’s letter to Kemp that the hearing is a farce and not worth covering. It will be interesting to see just which news media withdraws coverage. By doing so they play their hand as being in essence under the influence or control of the Obama camp.
It is patently unfair IMHO to the opposing parties that all the hearings should be suspended pending gathering responses to this letter. As I understand it, it is primarily a letter to the SoS and not strictly speaking a formal filing to Malihi’s court hearing docket (right? wrong?).
Note that in order to have the hearing canceled, Kemp would have to go through chief Administrative Law Judge Max Wood, who has already announced that he would not get involved in the matter:

By the way, anyone know what nationality the name Malihi implies? (Jewish?)
Anyway I think Obama and the GDP at a minimum have written off Georgia and disenfranchised GDP voters rather than cough up a $10 certificate of birth that Obama has publicly admitted is already in his possession...
IOW Obama is either a crook, or just a certified looney and selfish person who does not seem to care how much damage to the country he causes for his personal ambition.
