A hearing has been scheduled in a Florida court to allow attorneys representing the White House to support their claim that the term natural born citizen in the U.S. Constitution means something other than the offspring of two American citizens.
Judge Terry Lewis in Leon County has set a hearing for June 18 to consider arguments from both sides of a challenge to Obamas name on the 2012 state election ballot.
Lewis is credited with making crucial rulings in the contested 2000 presidential election, when ultimately a Florida vote recount was halted by the U.S. Supreme Court and George W. Bush was declared the winner.
Attorney Larry Klaymans law firm filed the challenge to Obamas name on the ballot on behalf of Democrat Michael Voeltz, a registered member of the Democrat Party, voter, and taxpayer in Broward County, who was an eligible elector for the Florida Primary of Jan. 31, 2012.
Klayman told WND that during a hearing today on discovery issues in the case, Lewis noted that while Klaymans brief cited a U.S. Supreme Courts decision defining natural born citizen as the offspring of two citizens of the nation, the White Houses arguments provided no citations.
Klayman had cited the U.S. Supreme Court case Minor v. Happersett from 1875.
Lewis ordered further briefing on the issue before the hearing.

I'll give Obama's team props: that's a smart move, reminding people of just what the GOP's been offering as "good."
Romney is proof that they haven't learned not to pee in the soup. (i.e. Fight Club)
Here, enjoy some mood music.
While you're grooving to the soulful sound of Ray Charles, ask yourself if you've ever heard a judge of any kind, anywhere, saying anything along these lines in a court of law?:
". . . Lewis noted that while Klaymans brief cited a U.S. Supreme Courts decision defining natural born citizen as the offspring of two citizens of the nation, the White Houses arguments provided no citations."
That got my attention. Even if 99 out of 100 attempts fail, all that's needed is the one success, and the gig is up for Zero.
Minor vs Happersett is very, very troubling for "Obama" and is the most logical reason for Justiagate.
Thanks for putting this up, Seizethecarp.
Last thing I heard, proven fraud is still a crime... With Pelosi having knowingly signed the fraudulent certifications of eligibility, (two different versions) she would be more likely headed for prison than for the White House.
"High crimes and misdemeanors" is grounds for removal from office; it certainly should be grounds for exclusion from office.
I hope to live to see the Pelosi perp walk -- not her swearing-in!!!
Joe Biden doesn't even realize he is IN the United States.
And this one’s in a key swing state!
This judge better hire some added security, and change the routes he takes to work.
Breitbart is dead, too.
I agree with the confusion with disqualifying BO. The main problem will be to stop him from stealing the rest of OUR money. He is redistributing but not to citizens. He is giving money to his friends. They have stolen billions and will continue to do so until BO and the Mooch are in prison.
What he needs to do is contact Sheriff Arpaio and ask him for pointers and/or protection.
Obama’s face twitch may be now going into overdrive like a bobblehead doll. ‘-)
I hope his barber has a steady hand, or not!
Going around the barn to get to the hen-house keeps the chickens quiet till the fox is at the door.
Using BO lack of producing a legit/certified birth document in a court of law to trigger the desired outcome.
Let him sue the State of Indiana for ballot access after we've thrown his sorry donkey off.
Actually Tallahassee is in Leon County. Hardly the boonies.
But we do have a bunch of counties named after Presidents past that are in the boonies.
I think we don’t know that that is a fact. I understand that the electoral college cast ballots for both POTUS and VPOTUS separately but there is no other choice for VP because the party combines them. When WETP vote we are voting for a single ticket and not separate individuals as we did back in the day when the 20th was ratified.
But in theory you are correct. In fact I don’t think Joe knows anything....
While I will agree that we really don't know who the sperm donor is he has told us who it is and I accept that, making him ineligible. If it is found out later that his daddy was a US Citizen then he committed fraud and is ineligible. Thank you for posting the 20th article for reference. I did that back in Oct '08. Of course it fell on blind eyes.
Yikes, isn't that a legal problem?
Leon County is clearly just like LA....
Lower Alabama :)
Even though it’s the capital, it is the boonies. Lots o’ rednecks. I’m in Orlando and there is nothing there for the most part. Capital and FSU be damned!
They have no office market to speak of and that’s how I gauge a city!
These appear to be the copies filed with the court pending the judge's signature. They are useless without him / her signing them.
Orly continues to think Soebarkhan (son of)is a name. Someone needs to tell her it is not a last name.
That is, I would like for him to say something like the following in court to both sides:
"Before I can make a decision, I want to see and examine a certified copy of President Obama's long form birth certificate, one that comes directly from Hawaii officials and not one that comes courtesy of President Obama and the White House. "
I think that such a statement would surely shake up the people at the White House just a little bit, if not more.
Attorney Larry Klayman’s Statement on Florida Ballot
So I looked at all this, looked at over 100 lost cases to date, looked at the solid opposition of Republicrat officials, media, courts, Congress, agencies, and still thoughtI simply must do something. There must be at least one honest judge left in our troubled nation, one who will review the overwhelming evidence in a properly pleaded case and rule that this usurper doesnt belong on the Florida ballot. We already have more than enough evidence to get Obama outwe simply need someone to do the right thing. Ill do my part, if judges and enough citizens do theirs.

State issued certified BCs (COLB or LFBC) are “self-authenticating” under the federal rules of evidence, but that is only a “prima facie” standard, meaning that the BCs could be challenged if sufficient evidence could be provided for a challenge.
It remains to be seen whether the Arpaio Posse probable cause evidence of forgery rises to a level that would prompt a federal judge to request examination of the “best evidence,” that being the 1961 record in the HI files (or whatever the heck HI has in the files).
