Judge Lewis is the FL lower court judge whose rock solid ruling in favor of Bush was ultimately vindicated by SCOTUS after being overturned by the FL State Supremes, who made a transparently partisan ruling.

This has the making of being the next media scrum and cause of panic in Chicago Obot HQ!

FL district Judge Lewis who wrote a superior ruling in Bush v. Gore ultimately upheld in part by SCOTUS, challenges Barry's legal team to cite a SCOTUS definition of NBC superior to the MvH case NBC definition cited by Klayman! Woohoo!

How come WingNut Daily is the only one reporting on this? No one is going to give a damn unless it makes it into the real news outlets.

I thought the trial judge was N. Saunders Sauls. Which judge was this?

Interesting. Maybe we’ll see an actual examination of the definition.

I am no fan of Larry Klayman, but it is long past time that FReepers backed off chasing the clown/criminal act in Hawaii -- and just let Arpaio's guys do their job there.

The REAL question is that of Øbozo's Constitutional eligibility, which he clearly does not have, since he has a severe loyalty conflict, via his father's non-citizenship and his own inheritance of that same disloyalty.

Of course, his Muslim background further exacerbates the issue -- but the first Amendment pretty well covers his @$$ on that one...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

One can only hope that Lewis does find him ineligible, and that will be the kick that starts other State SOSes toppling like dominoes! And, then, after the election, (no matter who wins) America will have to face the incomprehensible mess of dealing with the aftermath of four years without a valid President at the helm... :-(

Does any State still have a working electric chair for Pelosi?

Another ‘dog and pony show’ exercise in futility. I bet Obama’s lawyers don’t even appear, nor will they be admonished for it.

I’ll be following this one but ... damn ... I hate to get my hopes up again.

I was sure that case in Georgia was the clincher.

Still, seeing Obummer excluded from the Florida ballot would be sweet indeed!

Sorry, I was confusing Judge Saul with Judge Lewis. Here is an NY Times story about one of numerous Lewis rulings:

COUNTING THE VOTE: THE COURT TACTICS; A Dark Day Turns Less So for the Democrats, Allowing Them to Forgo Escalation

By DAVID FIRESTONE

Vice Pres Al Gore’s campaign suffers a blow when Judge Terry P Lewis allows Katherine Harris, Florida’s secretary of state, to certify results of presidential election without the hand recounts, but it is buoyed six hours later when State Supreme Court bars Harris from certifying the election until court says she may; photo

the White House’s arguments provided no citations.

They never once in all the ( OBot count) 134 cases has Obama brought up citations that he is a Natural Born US Citizen. Not once has Obama - never and nope. They've argued mostly on justiciability standing grounds.

Lets see if this judge has some balls.

The Dirty “little” Secret Of The Natural Born Citizen Clause Revealed.

I have emphasized the word “little” because the truth of the law on this issue is very simple, folks. So simple that the mystery is deciphered by application of one of the most clear, concise and undeniable rules of law; the code of statutory construction governs, and therefore, “natural born Citizen” must require something more than being born in the United States.

Let me put it to you in appropriately simple language:

Clause A = “Only a natural born Citizen may be President.”

Clause B = “Anyone born in the United States is a Citizen.”

(While these two clauses reflect Article 2, Section 1, and the 14th Amendment, I shall refer to them as “Clause A” and “Clause B” for now.)

The code of statutory construction is learned by every student in law school, and every practicing attorney has confronted it. Every judge is required to apply the rule equally to all statutes, and the Constitution. There is no wiggle room at all. The rule states that when a court examines two clauses, unless Congress has made it clear that one clause repeals the other, the court must observe a separate legal effect for each. More specifically, regardless of the chronology of enactment, the general clause can never govern the specific.

Clause B is a general rule of citizenship, which states that all persons born in the country are members of the nation.

Clause A is a specific clause that says only those members of the nation who are “natural born” may be President.

According to the rule of statutory construction, the court must determine that Clause A requires something more than Clause B.

It’s truly that simple. ...

In Minor v. Happersett, in 1875, the Supreme Court, made an incidental reference to the issue: “[N]ew citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization. The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

It was never doubted, until Obama was selected.

Exposing Obama for the usurper he is, in my opinion, is the only means the GOPe has to successfully weaken the democrats enough to clear a path to victory for their man Romney. And ... as much as I detest Romney's political leanings ... I would not be too disappointed in any outcome in November given that all of Obama's "accomplishments" these years were rendered unconstitutional and legally tossed out with him.

there is also this tidbit...

http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_5199.html

stating citizenship cannot be conveyed by a parent unless that parent was in the US for FIVE(5) years after the age of 14

0bama’s mother was 18 when she gave birth

therefore, the ONLY way 0bama could be a citizen, forget being a natural born citizen, would be if he was born on US soil...

which we have no proof of
(the certificate of live birth has been shown by law enforcement to be a forgery)
