RSSObama Eligibility Case May Have Found Judge Not Willing To Punt
J.J. Jackson | June 28, 2009
The case of President Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as President rolls on. While most of the cases have been essentially thrown out over vacuous claims such as lack of jurisdiction (even though the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over “all Cases, in Law and Equity arising under [the] Constitution” (Article III, Section 2), and the eligibility requirements are definitely “under” the Constitution being described in it, to claims that American citizens have no standing before the court to make sure that the Constitution is upheld. The argument has also been made by states that they have no authority to check the eligibility of candidates even though several times in the past candidates have had their eligibility checked only to find out that they were not eligible and then removed from the ballot.
I have repeatedly said that as dumb as your typical liberal Democrat is I would be seriously impressed by their stupidity if they were dumb enough to actually run a Constitutionally ineligible candidate for President. I still maintain that the only reason why the actual long form birth certificate of Obama, which would settle this matter, is under lock and key is because it contains something that he really doesn’t want people to know. This could be the true identity of his actual father which could prove to make him a liar several times over with accounts in his memoirs if such do not match up. But hey, the American public has proven time and again that they tolerate liars in public office as long as their handouts are preserved.
Anyway, a judge has actually finally ruled that eligibility is a serious issue to be adjudicated. U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Schneider apparently has given notice that the case before him filed on behalf of several plaintiffs will go ahead as soon as attorneys are in place.
From WorldNetDaily:
“Plaintiffs’ complaint raises significant issues necessitating that the named defendants engage competent counsel to represent their interests. Given the high ranking positions of the defendants, the decision as to who will represent them in this case is not simple and straightforward,” the judge said.
But as soon as attorneys are lined up, “the case will proceed expeditiously,” he said.
If the case proceeds, it would make discovery commence where evidence, such as the birth certificate, would actually have to be turned over for examination.
Of course there is a route for Obama’s lawyers to go if they want to. They could just ignore the case and allow it to go the way of the plaintiffs and then file an appeal. I am no lawyer but this seems like a legitimate legal tactic and was somewhat recently done with regards to the case of the Black Panthers and their little voter intimidation scheme of the last election. The lawyers for the group simply refused to answer court papers on the case and they were found guilty in absentia (I think that is the legal term). However even though the government essentially won the case (or was on the verge of winning the case) Eric Holder’s justice department simply dropped the charges. Thus, after essentially being found guilty by default they were then let loose to intimidate again.
Could a similar tactic then be tried here where the Obama lawyers just simply let the ruling go against them and they then appeal to a get a judge more friendly to the case that would then dismiss the charges? I’m just thinking like a liberal here. It’s hard because I have a functioning brain but I am trying.
I just wish we would get this distraction out of the way because it is consuming a lot of time from discussing just how incompetent a leader President Obama really is and how bad his ideas are for liberty and freedom.

See, this is why we make fun of birthers. You didn’t understand the statement.
Mario threw a bunch of crap out. Too much crap. Opposing counsel needed to go thru it, and determine who would represent whom.
Since then, response filed to dismiss.
Go see what the Court had to say.
“…POINT III – PLAINTIFFS’ SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT SHOULD BE STRICKEN BECAUSE IT FAILS TO PROVIDE A SHORT AND PLAIN STATEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH FED. R. CIV. P. 8(a)(2)….”
There’s more. Basically, that Mario included stuff that was irrelavant and stupid. Besides which, they don’t have standing. There is no case.
This case will be dismissed. Watch and see.
Here’s where you can read what the Court said. Link to pdf included there.

“See, this is why we make fun of birthers. You didn’t understand the statement.”
Since your reading comprehension skills seem to be on the low end side even for a turnip let us actually look at what Mr. Jackson said Hmmm?
“I have repeatedly said that as dumb as your typical liberal Democrat is I would be seriously impressed by their stupidity if they were dumb enough to actually run a Constitutionally ineligible candidate for President.”
That is not a statement a “birther” would make. “Birthers” as you dirisively call them (who actually give a damn about the Constitution which drives people like you nuts) would say something about how Obama is a foreign born national.
The quote above speaks for itself. Stating that “the case will proceed expeditiously” once the Obama lawyers get off their asses and take it seriously is a very powerful statement that you would like to ignore and backs up everything Mr. Jackson said above.
Now, if you would like to apologize for misrepresenting Mr. Jackson’s possition you may. If not, then bye bye.
Millions of dollars to defend themselves when all that is needed is a $25 birth certificate to prove that it is all a “conspiracy.”
At first I thought like J.J. that the left would not be so stupid and nominate and illegal candidate. But after all this I have started to change my mind. No one in their right mind spends this kind of money to protect a document that is so cheap.
It would be like Mr. spending $10,000 to repair a car worth $500. Aint gonna happen!
Nothing drives the left nuts like a good discussion about exactly why Obama is hiding his actual birth certificate and spending all sorts of piles of cash on lawyers to keep it hidden.
When a judge tells you that you’d better get your lawyers lined up saying, “Plaintiffs’ complaint raises significant issues necessitating that the named defendants engage competent counsel to represent their interests.” You are not in a friendly situation. My guess is they sent some low grade lawyer in on this at first and didn’t think it would amount to much like all the rest.
All people are asking for is the birth certificate Obama. Why hide it? What purpose does that serve if there is nothing to hide? It is not like a birth certificate is that much to ask for. We Americans have to produce them all the time for all sorts of things so why shouldn’t the President.
Just put the whole thing to rest and produce the document.
I want to admit something first. I am an Obama supporter. I voted for him. But you know what? This whole birth certificate thing makes me wonder about his competency.
It is like what the previous commenters said. Why spend all this money to protect a basically worthless document in comparison? Why let this controversy go on? It is absolutely absurd and makes me wonder at least a little about Obama’s ability to lead and his intelligence. Never give your enemies something like this to rally around.
Even I have to wonder what Obama is hiding. And when someone like me who supports him is saying that you know there is something that is just not right.
The Constitution is important and Obama should prove his eligibility just like I have to prove who I am and where I came from for other things in life.

Please note the title of this post is “Obama Eligibility Case May Have Found Judge Not Willing To Punt”
It says MAY! MAY as in not certain as to what the outcome would be.
People like nunubiz are so many times over the problem with this counrty. First they cannot read. Second they claim people are things that they are no to try and dismiss them. Third they don’t care that there is a an actual Constitution to be followed. Fourth nothing seems amiss to them when a man who could end everything by simply producing a single piece of paper spends oodles on lawyers to stop from having to show that piece of paper.
Obama is nunubiz’s messiah and nothing will ever tarnish the messiah’s image.
I voted Obama. But even I want to know why he just cannot end this issue and produce the certificate.
I wrote to the White House to ask why and got back a snotty form letter thanking me for my support that didn’t even answer the question I had asked.
Mr. Jackson brings up good points no one want to address and seemslike every I’d indeed pust punting.
The constitution give eligibility requirements. Therfore shouls not each candidate prove eligibility?
Judges keep punting these cases for frivilous and legally devoid claims such as claiming there is no standing? That’s a bogus claim.
Before you call me a nut or slander me as a conservative be known that I voted straight Green party in 2008.
Hey Doug! I thought I was the only one! I too voted for Obama and when this whole birth certificate thing came up I too wrote he White House a letter saying just put the certificate out there and shut these people up!
What I got back sounded like a fund raising letter that didn’t even talk about the birth certificate! I admit I was not an ardent Obama supporter but I thought he was better than McCain. Now I see him and congress wanting to raise my cost to live through Cap and Trade and knowing he is spending a lot of money to keep a simple document from public sight is just making me say not Obama anymore!
I think he really is a fraud and I am embarrased.
I lengthy senate hearing was conducted to determine John MCCain’s citizenship status. No hearing was conducted for Obama.
