Laguna Niguel attorney Orly Taitz’s effort to have President Barack Obama removed from office because he was born in Kenya - or perhaps Indonesia - has run into another dead end, as U.S. District Judge David O. Carter issued this order denying her request to move the case from Santa Ana to Washington, D.C. In his order, Carter states simply that he dismissed her case on Oct. 29 - meaning that there is no action currently pending, and so no case to transfer. In that dismissal, Carter ruled that the federal courts do not have the constitutional power to remove...

Folks, I often wondered what possessed Judge Carter in California to tell the world “he wanted to try this case on its merits” and then do a sudden 180 by dismissing the case with prejudice? Does the word “arrogance” come to mind? Did the justice system in California just reach the bottom of the barrel? The performance of Judge Carter was totally disgusting to watch.. Oh, and this whoop-ti-do you heard from folks that Carter would do the right thing because he is an EX-Marine.. what happened? Did honor and his oath get flushed on the way to the bench?...

Updates in the BARNETT v OBAMA case in Judge Carter's court: Request for investigation of misconduct in legal proceedings, submission of perjured affidavits, submission of a letter to court by an attorney with improper purpose of covering up criminal activity and obstruction of justice, withholding evidence by attorneys, and US attorneys acting under conflict of interest From 11.11.09. to 11.22.09. I had the honor to be a delegate at the Continental Congress 2009. One of the guest speakers for the Continental Congress was a former Immigration officer and currently a private investigator in CO, Mr. John Samson. I have stated...

We’re not sure it’s exactly newsworthy anymore when a lawsuit challenging President Obama’s election on the grounds that he wasn’t born in the U.S. gets dismissed. (Though rest assured, we’ll be all over it if and when one gains significant traction.) But an opinion issued on Thursday dismissing one of these suits (this one, like others, brought by Orange County lawyer/dentist Orly Taitz) caught our attention. The opinion issued on Thursday, by Santa Ana, Calif., federal judge David O. Carter (a Clinton appointee), delved deeply into standing problems he felt many plaintiffs in the suit suffered. But in the suit...

This is news .. the DOJ has officially notified CA Judge David Carter, presently reviewing his next move in the Keyes et al v. Obama et al lawsuit ... of a GA judge's decision in the Kerchner v Obama lawsuit. ______________________________________________________ It clearly shows that Judge Carter doesn’t deserve to be addressed as such the guy is looking for the easy way out while making sure not to upset the Usurper-in-Chief. I may be wrong but Carter has sold out. -David Crockett Maybe Judge Carter was waiting for Judge Simandle’s ruling granting dismissal in the Kerchner case. It came down...

The court has released the official transcript of the October 5, 2009 hearing on the Motion to Dismiss the eligibility lawsuit brought by Orly Taitz against Obama. (Keyes/Barnett v. Obama) Full transcript at the link.

By Alan Keyes October 7, 2009Loyal 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.Loyal to Liberty ...

Congressman John Carter (R-TX) takes the Rangel Resolution to the Floor today at noon and we should really drive this home. It’s obnoxious that he hasn’t stepped down and a disgrace that he's the Chairman of Ways and Means after having failed to report a load of financial assets. I hope you'll support Carter's move and link to his blog post today speaking out about it on RedState. Here's the text of the Resolution:

October 5, 2009 was the day that Judge David O. Carter scheduled to hear arguments for dismissal of the case regarding the eligibility of Barry Soetoro to be President of the United States of America. Judge Carter did in fact hear the arguments presented by both parties, the Government for President Soetoro and Attorneys Orly Taitz and Gary Kreep who represent several political candidates and party officials, including former U.S. ambassador Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson of the American Independent Party. After hearing both sides argue their points Judge Carter informed the parties that whatever his decision...

10:12 am pst A commenter has asked if the case has been thrown out, I have NOT heard from Gary so the information can not be verified as accurate. Remember Obots like to play on the blogs (snip)

“Na na na na na you have no Standing” has been the legal argument that President Barry Soetoro, his attorneys and now the attorneys of the U.S. Justice Department, have used to have dozens eligibility suits dismissed throughout the country. As legally profound and convincing as that argument is on September 8, 2009 in a California Federal Court, Judge of the Central District David Carter has for the first time since this issue has been brought up has scheduled a case to be heard on its merits. Image that someone in black robes has finally said okay let’s get to...

A few weeks back, I submitted a letter on Barack Obama’s eligibility (“Raise the question,” published Aug. 23). Most of the comments from other readers reflected the opinion that I was flat wrong. Sorry to tell you folks, but a young guy has come forward and has signed a court document stating that he has obtained a copy of Barry Soetoro’s original birth certificate. He traveled to Kenya and paid a guard who was guarding this document in cash so the guard would turn a blind eye while he made a copy. This young man will be in big trouble...

In the federal lawsuit claiming that Barack Obama cannot legitimately be president, today’s hearing in Santa Ana focused not on documents that allegedly prove he was Kenyan-born but on the conflicts of plaintiff’s attorney Orly Taitz. Judge David O. Carter dismissed Taitz’s motion to have two of her clients removed from the case and also tossed her motion to have Magistrate Judge Arthur Nakazato removed from the case. Carter said there was no basis in Taitz’s complaint that Nakazato was biased against her in an earlier administrative ruling. Additional, Carter told Taitz that she had no choice but to work...

Urban Dictionary defines a 'birther' as "A person who believes that Barack Obama has controversy and/or fraud surrounding his birth…" At last count, at least 17 lawsuits had been filed in 17 different states questioning Barack Obama's status as an American citizen and his right to prop his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office. One of those lawsuits will now get the chance to see the light of day. Dr. Orly Taitz, attorney for Alan Keyes in Keyes vs. Obama, announced late this evening that a judge has ruled in favor of Mr Keyes' request for a...

U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter had a scheduling dilemma while managing the pre-trial stages of the government’s prosecution of several alleged members of the notorious Florencia 13 street gang in South Central Los Angeles and Inglewood. He had 16 defense lawyers plus federal prosecutors — most of whom were also handling other cases in other courthouses — on the case pending before him in the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in Santa Ana. And Carter, a former state prosecutor and Superior Court judge, knows that getting lawyers together is like herding cats. Making things a little more difficult for...
