Court Case - 25 Sept 09 Update - back to main page

from Judge Carter's Courtroom
Citizen Wells blog reports that many concerned veterans and citizens attended the hearing today in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the lawsuit against Barack Obama to determine his eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief.  About 150 people showed up, almost all in support of the lawsuit to demand that Obama release his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the American people.

Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama's request for dismissal today, instead setting a hearing date for Oct. 5, since Obama's attorneys had just filed the motion on Friday.  He indicated there was almost no chance that this case would be dismissed.  Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the wrong court if you can believe that.  I guess Obama would prefer a "kangaroo court" instead of a Federal court.  Assuming Judge Carter denies Obama's motion for dismissal, he will likely then order expedited discovery which will force Obama to release his birth certificate in a timely manner.

The judge, who is a former U.S. Marine, repeated several times that this is a very serious case which must be resolved quickly so that the troops know that their Commander in Chief is eligible to hold that position and issue lawful orders to our military in this time of war.  He basically said Obama must prove his eligibility to the court.  He said Americans deserve to know the truth about Obama.

The two U.S. Attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything they could to sway the judge that this case was frivolous, but Carter would have none of it and cut them off several times.  Obama's attorneys left the courtroom after the 90 minute hearing looking defeated and nervous.

Lucas Smith was at the hearing.  He read his signed affidavit (at link) and presented what he says is Obama's original Kenyan Certificate of Birth (at link).

Court records show that summonses were issued in the case of an Army captain seeking to stop her deployment by questioning the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency.

Capt. Connie Rhodes claims Obama is "an illegal usurper" and "an unlawful pretender" and that she cannot lawfully act under his authority. Defendants include Obama , U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Thomas MacDonald, Fort Benning garrison commander. According to the summonses, the defendants have 20 days to answer the complaint once received; they have two months if they are an officer or employee of the federal government.

Great day in America for the U.S. Constitution..  The truth about Barack Obama's eligibility will be known fairly soon -- Judge Carter practically guaranteed it!

Video from the press conference after the hearing coming soon.  Congratulations to plaintiff's attorney Dr. Orly Taitz.  She did a great job and won some huge victories today.  She was fearless. The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26, 2010, just 4 1/2 months from now.

Here's Dr. Taitz' video comments.
I have a real problem with Obama being represented by Department of Justice (DoJ) civil servants.  I asked one attorney, and here's what she had to say:

Well, to be honest, I'm not sure how the Department of Justice attorneys don't have a conflict of interest.

While I do not completely understand it's authority, my assumption is that the DoJ is similar to the States' District Attorney's Office; established to defend the Constitution and prosecute those charged with crimes against the United States and/or its People.

Sooooooo, isn't it the DoJ who should be charged with the responsibility for bringing the claims of Obama's ineligibility on our behalf as opposed to defending him??????  Very concerning.
