Well back in the day... here you go:

In the case, handled largely by Gary Kreep of the U.S. Justice Foundation, records were subpoenaed documenting Obama's attendance at Occidental College.
The lawyer for the college, Stuart W. Rudnick of Musick, Peeler & Garrett, urgently contacted Fredric D. Woocher of Strumwasser & Woocher.
"This firm is counsel to Occidental College. The College is in receipt of the enclosed subpoena that seeks certain information concerning President-Elect Barack Obama," he wrote via fax. "Inasmuch as the subpoena appears to be valid on its face, the College will have no alternative but to comply with the subpoena absent a court order instructing otherwise."
Within hours, Woocher contacted Kreep regarding the issue, telling him, "It will likely not surprise you to hear that President-elect Obama opposes the production of the requested records.

"In order to avoid the needless expense of our bringing and litigating a Motion to Quash the subpoena, I am writing to ask whether you would be willing to agree voluntarily to cancel or withdraw the subpoena."
Kreep, out of town for a business trip, did not respond immediately, and the motion eventually was filed."

"...and the motion eventually was filed."
The Obama motion to quash was successful.
“The Obama motion to quash was successful. “
Thanks very much for all that history. I do appreciate it.
Of course it leads to other legal questions.
Why can’t or aren’t more motions being filed to unseal his records? Why not keep him legally entangled fighting one challenge after another?
What are the legal grounds we have for getting those records unsealed, and why was it so easy to pry open the divorce records of his past opponents?
Why aren’t more conservative packs not using their money to get to the bottom of his college records? I realize it is late in the game, and he may not be president much longer. Even so I want this charlatan exposed before or after he gets out of office.
I don’t expect you to have all the answers RedSteel, but it is frustrating as all get out to not get at what is obviously Obama’s Achilles heel.
