BREAKING NEWS: Former MARINE, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter to hear ObamaELIGIBILITY Case BORN IN THE USA?Eligibility arguments to get court hearing'For 1st time, we have a judge who's listening'July 13, 2009Honorable Judge David O. Carter, US Central District California has ruled that hewill hear Obama' eligibility case.In what ultimately could prove to be a turning point in the legal challenges toBarack Obama's eligibility to be president, a federal judge in California hasplanned a hearing on the merits of a federal court case raising those questions.According to attorney Orly Taitz, who is working on multiple cases alleging Obamais a "usurper" because he doesn't meet the constitutional requirement that only a"natural born citizen" can be president, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter ruledin a hearing today that her case will move forward.The hearing was on her motion for a default order against Obama, because althoughTaitz said she notified him of the action, Obama's attorneys did not make anappearance.Her complaint was filed against the president on Jan. 20, the day of hisinauguration, over his actions before he became president.Taitz has told WND if her motion for default is granted she immediately wouldrequest access to Obama's birth records and other documentation that coulddetermine his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office."I have a very clear case," Taitz said. "I think they dropped the ball. Theydidn't figure out this case filed on Jan. 20th, on the day of inauguration.(OrlyTaitz, esq. http://statute3501.com/)The case was filed on behalf of former U.S. Ambassador Alan Keyes, also acontestant in the 2008 presidential race in California, and others. Taitz said thecase might have been confused with another Keyes vs. Obama case filed in thestate's court system, which was thrown out and now is on appeal.Want to turn up the pressure to learn the facts? Get your signs and postcardsasking for the president's birth certificate documentation here."I will be asking for the release of his vital records," she has told WND.The case, which also includes Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson as plaintiffs,names as defendant "Barack H Obama also known as Barack Hussein Obama II alsoknown as Barack H Obama II also known as Barry Obama also known as Barry Soetoro."
"Plaintiffs respectfully submit that this Court's order finding or at leaststrongly suggesting that 4(e) service is insufficient, and requiring 4(i) service,regarding the subject matter of this lawsuit as against the sole served DefendantBarack H. Obama, is manifestly erroneous and plaintiffs accordingly request thatthe court reconsider its motion," she argued in her motion."In the alternative, plaintiffs move and request that this court exercise itssound discretion to certify a question for interlocutory appeal."She told WND that at today's hearing, the judge issued no orders, but promisedthat the case would be moved forward and he would address the merits of thedispute. He said there would be no dismissals based on "procedural issues."The judge said as a former Marine he recognizes the importance of having aconstitutionally qualified president.While no attorneys appeared on Obama's behalf, several members of the U.S.Attorney's office in California were in attendance, and sought to intervene onbehalf of Obama over his actions before becoming president.The judge ordered them to accept service of the lawsuit immediately and thencontinued the case to an unannounced date.Taitz told WND, "For first time, we have a judge who's listening."Multiple WND calls to various branches of the U.S. attorney's offices inCalifornia did not generate any response.Taitz said she has some changes to make in the pleadings, but she was able tofully explain the reasons for her case."He [the judge] heard the whole thing," she said.Keyes also is plaintiff in a separate case making its way through the Californiastate court system. His opinions on the dispute have been captured on YouTube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqkMfToY9Pk"We're either going to stop him, or the United States of America is going to ceaseto exist," he said. "That's not a laughing matter.''Taitz' complaint cites Obamaindividually for his acts before he took office, specifically his refusal toprovide the documentation that would show his eligibility.The question over Obama's eligibility now also is being raised on billboardsnationwide."Where's The Birth Certificate?" billboard appeared first in Pennsylvania &Louisiana.The billboard campaign follows an ongoing petition campaign launched severalmonths ago by WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah.The billboards are intended to raise public awareness of the fact that Obama hasnever released the standard "long-form" birth certificate that would show whichhospital he was born in, the attending physician and establish that he truly wasborn in Hawaii, as his autobiography maintains.Please send a contribution to support the national billboard campaign that asks a
simple question: "Where's the birth certificate?"WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "naturalborn citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except anatural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of theAdoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as heinsists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suitscontend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship toher son under the law at the time.Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyansubject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thusmaking him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitutionexcluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums estimated in thehundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid releasing a state birth certificate thatwould put to rest all of the questions.The "Certification of Live Birth" posted online and widely touted as "Obama'sbirth certificate" does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same"short-form" document is easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii. Thetrue "long-form" birth certificate – which includes information such as the nameof the birth hospital and attending physician – is the only document that canprove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release forpublic or press scrutiny.Oddly, though congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. JohnMcCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a "natural born citizen,"no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama's claim to a Hawaiianbirth.Although Obama officials have told WND all such allegations are "garbage," here isa partial listing and status update for some of the cases over Obama'seligibility:* New Jersey attorney Mario Apuzzo has filed a case on behalf of Charles Kerchnerand others alleging Congress didn't properly ascertain that Obama is qualified tohold the office of president.* Pennsylvania Democrat Philip Berg has three cases pending, including Berg vs.Obama in the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a separate Berg vs. Obama casealleging he wasn't qualified even to be U.S. senator and Hollister vs. Soetoroa/k/a Obama, (now dismissed) brought on behalf of a retired military member whocould be facing recall to active duty by Obama.* Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed a lawsuit claiming Obama's dual citizenshipdisqualified him from serving as president. His case was considered in conferenceby the U.S. Supreme Court but denied a full hearing.* Cort Wrotnowski filed suit against Connecticut's secretary of state, making asimilar argument to Donofrio. His case was considered in conference by the U.S.Supreme Court, but was denied a full hearing.* Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes headlines a list of people filing asuit in California, in a case handled by the United States Justice Foundation,
