Eligibility claims attracting high-level interest
Joint Chiefs counsel, Justice Department, now involved
Posted: July 09, 2009 11:50 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily
……California attorney Orly Taitz, who has pursued multiple legal challenges to Barack
Obama's eligibility to be the president, is attracting some high-level attention, with the
Justice Department trying to add itself onto one of her cases and the legal counsel for the
Joint Chiefs of Staff being assigned to review another issue.
Taitz has filed multiple legal actions around the country alleging Obama does not meet the
constitutional requirements to occupy the Oval Office. One of her cases, filed against Obama
as an individual for actions before he took office, is scheduled for a hearing in a California
court on Monday.
The hearing is on a request by Taitz for a default judgment, since she explains she notified
the president of the action weeks ago, and his lawyers failed to respond.
Taitz has told WND if her motion is granted she will immediately request access to Obama's
birth records and other documentation that could determine his eligibility to occupy the Oval
Office.

Eligibility arguments to get court hearing
'For 1st time, we have a judge who's listening'
Posted: July 13, 2009 9:52 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily
Excerpted highlights of the article:
In what ultimately could prove to be a turning point in the legal challenges to Barack
Obama's eligibility to be president, a federal judge in California has planned 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 Obama is 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 ruled in a hearing today that
her case will move forward………………….
The case was filed on behalf of former U.S. Ambassador Alan Keyes, also a contestant in the
2008 presidential race in California, and others. Taitz said the case might have been
confused with another Keyes vs. Obama case filed in the state's court system, which was
thrown out and now is on appeal.
"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 also known as Barack
H Obama II also known as Barry Obama also known as Barry Soetoro………….."
She told WND that at today's hearing, the judge issued no orders, but promised that the
case would be moved forward and he would address the merits of the dispute. He said there
would be no dismissals based on "procedural issues."
The judge said as a former Marine he recognizes the importance of having a constitutionally
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 on behalf of Obama over his
actions before becoming president.
The judge ordered them to accept service of the lawsuit immediately and then continued the
case to an unannounced date.
Taitz told WND, "For first time, we have a judge who's listening…………."
Keyes also is plaintiff in a separate case making its way through the California state court
system. His opinions on the dispute have been captured on YouTube: [Available at
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103918 ]
"We're either going to stop him, or the United States of America is going to cease to exist,"
he said. "That's not a laughing matter.'
Taitz' complaint cites Obama individually for his acts before he took office, specifically his
refusal to provide the documentation that would show his eligibility. (snip)

Hawaiian Supremes asked to take 'action' on WND report
Story documented conflicting Obama birthplace claims

A Chicago activist who has asked the courts in Hawaii to unseal Barack Obama's birth
certificate now is urging the state's Supreme Court to take action following a WND report
documenting conflicting reports on the president's birth location.
"This court should take decisive action before the court itself becomes a part of a
questionable pattern of behavior concerning a document that is obviously relevant to
American history," said a pleading posted on Andy Martin's website for submission to the
state Supreme Court. [http://contrariancommentary.blogspot.com/ ] (snip)

U.S. officer demands answer: Is Army 'corps of chattel slaves?'
Files federal court challenge over Obama's refusal to prove eligibility
Posted: July 11, 2009
12:05 am Eastern By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida with orders to report
for deployment to Afghanistan within days has filed a court demand to be classified as a
"conscientious objector" because without proof of the commander-in-chief's eligibility for
office, the entire army "becomes merely a corps of chattel slaves under the illegitimate
control of a private citizen."
A hearing on the questions raised by Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, an engineer WND he
wants to serve his country in Afghanistan, already has been scheduled for July 16 at 9:30
a.m., according to California attorney Orly Taitz, who is handling the claim…..
"As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain clarification
on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a
'natural-born citizen,' he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief," he told WND only hours
after the case was filed.
"[Then] any order coming out of the presidency or his chain of command is illegal. Should I
deploy, I would essentially be following an illegal [order]. If I happened to be captured by
the enemy in a foreign land, I would not be privy to the Geneva Convention protections," he
said.
The order for the hearing in the federal court for the Middle District of Georgia from U.S.
District Judge Clay D. Land said the hearing on the request for a temporary restraining
order will be held Thursday………..
Cook said without a legitimate president as commander-in-chief, members of the U.S.
military in overseas actions could be determined to be "war criminals and subject to
prosecution."
He said the vast array of information about Obama that is not available to the public
confirms to him that "something is amiss………..
According to the claim, "Plaintiff submits that it is implicit though not expressly stated that
an officer is and should be subject to court-martial, because he will be derelict in the
performance of his duties, if he does not inquire as to the lawfulness, the legality,
the legitimacy of the orders which he has received, whether those orders are
specific or general……. "
"The issue or question raised by this suit is uniquely federal and properly (and in fact
necessarily) subject to the exercise of federal power: the question whether the
constitutional legitimacy of the chain of command under a constitutionally legitimate
commander-in-chief pursuant to Article II, §§1-2 of the Constitution is essential to the
maintenance of balance of powers and separation of powers under the constitution, and
cannot be lightly dismissed in light of the plaintiff's evidence that the de facto president of
the United States is not only constitutionally unqualified, but procured his election by
fraudulent and illegitimate means which may constitute a pattern of racketeering utilizing
the apparatus of corrupt organizations in violation of 18 U.S.C. §1961 et seq," [the claim]
alleges. (snip)

Soldier balks at deploying; says Obama isn’t president
By Lily Gordon
July 14, 2009
U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn’t have
to go.
His reason?
Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United
States.
Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in
other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order
and status as a conscientious objector for her client.
In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of
Georgia — the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request
based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and
is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in
military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. ...
simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful
execution of these duties.”
Cook, a reservist, received the orders mobilizing him to active duty on June 9.
According to this document, which accompanies Cook’s July 8 application for a temporary
restraining order, he has been ordered to report to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., on
Wednesday. From there, the Florida resident would go to Fort Benning before deploying
overseas.
Documents show Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, two years after it became a state.
A hearing to discuss Cook’s requests will take place in federal court here Thursday [July
17, 2009] at 9:30 a.m.

Bombshell: Orders revoked for soldier challenging prez
Major victory for Army warrior questioning Obama's birthplace
Posted: July 14, 2009
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
9:53 pm Eastern
By Chelsea Schilling
U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for
deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after he argued
that he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his legitimacy
for office.
His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending
deployment orders.
"We won! We won before we even arrived," she said with excitement. "It means that the
military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded
by saying Obama is illegitimate – and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the
order!"
She continued, "They just said, 'Order revoked.' No explanation. No reasons – just
revoked."
A hearing on the questions raised by Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, an engineer who told WND
he wants to serve his country in Afghanistan, was scheduled for July 16 at 9:30 a.m.
"As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain
clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is
found not to be a 'natural-born citizen,' he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief," he

order would be held Thursday (July 17). (snip)

'Begone!' Georgia judge orders fired reservist
Officer's orders jerked after challenge to prez' eligibility
Posted: July 16, 2009
6:45 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
A judge in Georgia has dismissed a case brought by a U.S. Army reservist whose orders to
deploy to Afghanistan were jerked when he challenged President Obama's eligibility, telling
the officer's lawyer the case would be handled better in Florida where the lawyer lives.
According to Orly Taitz, an attorney for Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, the instructions came at
today's hearing scheduled in Georgia by U.S. District Judge Clay Land.
The hearing was on a complaint originally challenging the legality of Cook's deployment
orders, based on doubts about Obama's eligibility to be president. Cook was to report to Ft.
Benning in Georgia this week to be deployed to Afghanistan.
The complaint was amended after the Army suddenly rescinded Cook's orders, and his
civilian employer reported being pressured by the government to fire the officer. (snip)

Soldier's case against Obama to be class-action?
Army major challenged orders based on questions about president's eligibility
Posted: July 27, 2009 10:07 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily
A case brought by a military officer whose order to deploy to Afghanistan was revoked now
has been refiled in a federal court in Florida, and it raises the specter of a class action claim
among members of the military that their orders aren't valid because of Barack Obama's
ineligibility to be president.
The possibility already had been raised by WND columnist Vox Day, who wrote, "Not only
every deployment order, but every order issued from an officer in the line of command can
now be challenged in the knowledge that the top brass are afraid to respond for fear that
their commander could be exposed for a fraud."
His comments came after the military, in its attempt to resolve the questions raised by Maj.
Stefan Cook in his original claim, simply revoked his orders to deploy. As a result, a federal
judge in Georgia dismissed his case. It now has been refilled in Florida, where he lives.
Now that scenario has been raised again in the new claim…..
"It was already obvious that this case had and still has the potential to be converted
into a class action on behalf of all military servicemen and women who require the
means of establishing the legality of their orders with certainty," the document states.
Cook said he hopes the case can be resolved soon.
"And based on the merits of the arguments – not on the basis of procedural grounds," he
said. "My expectations are that I shall ultimately be vindicated through either this injunction
filed in Florida or through the case filed in California. I passionately want to restore faith in
both the Constitution of the United States of America as well as its government.”
The complaint was filed by attorney Orly Taitz on behalf of Cook in the U.S. District Court
for the middle district of Florida.
It seeks damages and a declaratory judgment. Named as
defendants are Simtech, Cook's former civilian employer, and several officials, as well as
Col. Louis B. Wingate, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and others.
WND previously reported a judge in Georgia dismissed Cook's case when the government
suddenly revoked his orders to report to Ft. Benning for deployment to Afghanistan.
WND reported when the case originally was filed that Cook's concern was that without proof
that there is a legitimate commander-in-chief, the entire U.S. Army becomes "merely a
corps of chattel slaves under the illegitimate control of a private citizen."
Cook told WND he's ready, willing and able to carry out the military needs of the United
States, but he raised the challenge to Obama's eligibility to be president because if he would
be captured by enemy forces while serving overseas under the orders of an illegitimate
president, he could be considered a "war criminal." (snip)

With a scheduled hearing date looming Tuesday, Lucas Smith, the man who tried to sell an
alleged Barack Obama Kenyan birth certificate on eBay, has filed court papers
in a high-profile eligibility case insisting – under threat of perjury – that the Obama birth
certificate in his possession is the genuine article.
Smith filed his affidavit
through California attorney Orly Taitz, who has spearheaded several lawsuits challenging
Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president, as part of a case that
includes as plaintiff former presidential candidate Alan Keyes.
Taitz posted on her blog Smith's declaration, which claims he obtained the alleged birth
certificate from Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, and insists it's real.
"The true and correct photocopy of the birth certificate obtained is attached to this affidavit
as Exhibit A," the declaration reads. "I declare, certify, verify, state and affirm under
penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing
statements of fact and descriptions of circumstances and events are true and correct."

Shocker! Judge orders trial on eligibility issue
Arguments planned Jan. 11 for major Obama challenge
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=109242

4:42 pm Eastern
By Jerome R. Corsi
A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for
a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over
his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.
If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the
first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the
attorneys working on the issue.
In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a
resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly served
notice on the defendants, which she had.
In a second ruling, Carter ordered that attorney Gary Kreep of the United States Justice
Foundation can be added to the case to represent plaintiffs Wiley Drake and Markham
Robinson, who had been removed by an earlier court order. Drake, the vice presidential
candidate for the American Independent Party, and Robinson, the party's chairman, also
were restored to the case.
But the judge did not immediately rule on Taitz' motion to be granted discovery – that is the
right to see the president's still-concealed records. Nor did Carter rule immediately on a
motion to dismiss the case, submitted by the U.S. government, following discussion over
Taitz' challenge to the work of a magistrate in the case.
The judge did comment that if there are legitimate constitutional questions regarding
Obama's eligibility, they need to be addressed and resolved.
Carter ordered a hearing Oct. 5 on the motion to dismiss and ordered arguments submitted
on the issue of discovery.
If the case survives that challenge, a pretrial hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 11 and
the trial for two weeks later.
The case would be the first time, according to Kreep, that the actual merits of the dispute
will have been heard in open court. A multitude of such disputes have been rejected out of
hand by various state and federal courts. Even the U.S. Supreme Court repeatedly has
rejected urgent appeals to hear the evidence. (snip)

For a first hand account of court room coverage of a case that challenges Barack Obama’s
eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements
of the U.S. Constitution, see the following posting by Jeff Schwilk of the San Diego
Minutemen, see http://americangrandjury.org/orly-taitz-lucas-smith-from-the-courtroomthe-latest :
“The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26, 2010….
I and many other 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 (if he has one).
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 their President!
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 about the 90 minute hearing looking
defeated and nervous.(snip)

New Hampshire To Investigate Obama's Eligibility
New Hampshire State Representative, Lawrence M. Rappaport paid a visit to Mr. William
Gardner, the NH Secretary of State, on Thursday, Sept. 10th.
His stunning request: an investigation of Barack Hussein Obama’s presence on the NH 2008
Ballot.
Gardner’s stunning response: "an investigation will commence."
John Charlton interviewed Mr. Rappaport by email, and asked him, on what basis did he
make his complaint; he responded, "The basis for all of this is possible fraud. I don’t know
what penalties will be assessed if fraud is proven."
Rappaport’s action follows stunning revelations that Nancy Pelosi deliberately signed two
different forms certifying Barack Hussein Obama was the Democratic National Party
candidate for the presidency. While these forms have been known to exist for some time, it
was J.B. Williams, writing for the Canadian Free Press who brought them national notoriety,
earlier this week.
It is unclear, if, in the eventuality that New Hampshire determines fraud was committed, on
the grounds that Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States, if
the State will move, through its governor, to take some sort of action on the national scene,

'Congress satisfied president qualified to serve' (The Capt. Connie Rhodes law
suit) Judge trashes soldier's eligibility complaint, compares merits to 'Alice in
Wonderland'
Posted: September 16, 2009 2:09 am Eastern

© 2009 WorldNetDaily
Judge Clay Land – the same judge who earlier dismissed a
similar case filed by Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook – has rejected another request for
restraining order from a medical doctor and Army officer and threatened sanctions against
attorney Orly Taitz if she files any future "frivolous" actions with his court.
As WND reported, Capt. Connie Rhodes, a medical doctor and Army officer, filed suit in U.S.
District Court in Columbus, Ga., earlier this month, requesting a restraining order
preventing her deployment overseas on the basis that the top of the chain of command,
President Barack Obama, has not demonstrated himself to be a natural-born citizen under
the U.S. Constitution.
Land rejected Rhodes' request for a temporary restraining order today. (snip)

Plaintiff,

Defendants.
CASE NO. 4:09-CV-106 (CDL)
ORDER
Plaintiff, a Captain in the United States Army, seeks a
temporary restraining order to prevent the Army from deploying her to
Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Plaintiff alleges that
her deployment orders are unconstitutional and unenforceable because
President Barack Obama is not constitutionally eligible to act as
Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces. After
conducting a hearing on Plaintiff’s motion, the Court finds that
Plaintiff’s claims are frivolous. Accordingly, her application for
a temporary restraining order (Doc. 3) is denied, and her Complaint
is dismissed in its entirety. Furthermore, Plaintiff’s counsel is
hereby notified that the filing of any future actions in this Court,
which are similarly frivolous, shall subject counsel to sanctions.
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c). (snip)
For the reasons previously stated, Plaintiff’s motion for a
temporary restraining order is denied and Plaintiff’s complaint is
dismissed in its entirety. Defendants shall recover their costs from

The chief of Hawaii's Department of Health twice has issued statements trying to convince
doubters that President Obama was born in the state, and now those words may backfire if
a new legal challenge comes to fruition.
Leo Donofrio, who brought one of the first legal challenges to Obama's eligibility to be
president and unsuccessfully tried to get the U.S. Supreme Court to get involved at the time
of the election, is reporting on his website that Hawaiian state law requires "information
collected and maintained for the purpose of making information available to the general
public" be released. (snip)

Obama eligibility to see its day in court?
Pivotal hearing decides whether 'birther' case will be trashed, heard on merits
Posted: October 02, 2009
1:00 am Eastern
By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily
A hearing Monday is set to determine whether the U.S. Justice Department will get its
motion to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to hold
the office of president or whether the case will move forward to be heard on its merits.
California judge David Carter scheduled a tentative trial date for the case for Jan. 26, 2010.
But, to meet that trial date, the case must survive an Oct. 5 hearing on the Department of
Justice motion to dismiss.
The California lawsuit is brought by several political candidates and party officials, including
former U.S. ambassador Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson of the
American Independent Party.
They are suing Obama alleging that he was not and is not eligible to be president under the
U.S. Constitution's demand for a "natural born" citizen in the Oval Office. Forty-six of the
plaintiffs are represented by Orly Taitz, who has worked on a multitude of lawsuits over
Obama's eligibility, and two – Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson – are represented by
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation.
Kreep told WND one of three things will happen Monday: 1) the judge will make no decision
and choose to issue a decision later, 2) the judge could grant the Department of Justice's
motion and dismiss the case, or 3) all or part of the case will move forward. (snip)

A federal judge in California today listened to government lawyers argue that a lawsuit over
President Obama's eligibility should be immediately dismissed but refused to grant their
request, saying he would make his decision and announce it later.
The result came this morning from U.S. District Judge David Carter, who already has set a
tentative trial date for the dispute Jan. 26, 2010. The judge also already had lawyers draw
up a tentative schedule for hearings and deadlines in preparation for the trial. (snip)

Judge sets 'final' calendar for eligibility challenge
Ruling suggests there will be a trial, but doesn't confirm it
Posted: October 07, 2009
6:30 pm Eastern
By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
U.S. District Judge David Carter today issued a final schedule of deadlines for progress in
the California lawsuit challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, leaving some of
the president's critics gleeful over the "confirmation" of a trial and others wondering exactly
what the judge meant.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office defending Obama said the order was no more
than confirmation of what the judge previously had scheduled for the calendar, but it still
was conditional on the judge's still-coming ruling on the government's motion to dismiss the
entire case.
The ruling from Carter cited his hearing on Monday on the government's motion to dismiss,
explaining, "Argument by counsel. Motion taken under submission………."
One of her assistants immediately contacted the Department of Justice, asking whether the
attorneys are "are willing to stipulate that … it is now time for us to begin discovery. We
need to start sending out notices of deposition…"
But Tom Mrozek, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said the order specifically
states the judge is considering the motion to dismiss. With the schedule, the judge
appeared to want to "just memorialize" that there was a hearing.
"There was no ruling," he told WND. "I think for anybody to say there's a trial is way
premature. The judge hasn't decided."
Another attorney representing a few of the plaintiffs in the case, Gary Kreep of the United
States Justice Foundation, said that was how he read the court document.
Multiple calls by WND to the judge's clerk did not generate a response to the question of
clarification.
But Taitz agreed with the perspective of cautious optimism. (snip)

Plaintiff: Courts must hear eligibility arguments Cites Marshall opinion that to
refuse is treason
Posted: October 12, 2009
10:20 pm Eastern
By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily
A plaintiff in one of the cases challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to be president says
federal courts must hear the challenges, because to do otherwise would be treason.
The claim comes from Charles F. Kerchner Jr., a lead plaintiff in the Kerchner vs. Obama &
Congress lawsuit handled by attorney Mario Apuzzo.
Apuzzo filed suit in January on behalf of Kerchner, Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James
Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. Named as defendants are Barack Hussein Obama II,
the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick
Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The case focuses on the alleged failure of Congress to follow the Constitution. That
document, the lawsuit states, "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate
'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."
The Constitution provides, the lawsuit says, "If the president-elect shall have failed to
qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have
qualified."
"There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and other concerned
Americans regarding Obama's eligibility to be president and defendants had the sworn duty
to protect and preserve the Constitution and specifically under the 20th Amendment,
Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to confirm whether Obama, once the electors elected
him, was qualified," the case explained.
"Congress is the elected representative of the American people and the people speak and
act through them," the lawsuit said.
The defendants "violated" the 20th Amendment by failing to assure that Obama meets the
eligibility requirements, the lawsuit said. (snip)

Judge tosses eligibility case against Congress
'We've lost a skirmish. Now on with the war in the higher courts!'
Posted: October 21, 2009
11:55 pm Eastern

"A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Charles F. Kerchner Jr. and others against
Congress, alleging members of that institution failed in their constitutionally-specified
responsibility to evaluate Barack Obama and make sure of his eligibility to occupy the Oval
Office.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo had filed the action in January on behalf of Kerchner, Lowell T.
Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. Named as defendants were
Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and
former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
(snip)
On his blog, Apuzzo confirmed Judge Jerome Simandle in New Jersey dismissed the case.
"Judge Simandle ruled that the plaintiffs do not have Article III standing and that therefore
the court does not have subject matter jurisdiction," he explained. "The court found that the
plaintiffs failed to show that they suffered an 'injury in fact.' It added that plaintiffs' alleged
injury is 'only a generally available grievance about government' and 'is one they share with
all United States citizens.' Finally, it said that plaintiffs' 'motivations do not alter the nature
of the injury alleged," Apuzzo wrote.
"By way of footnote, the court said that even if the plaintiffs could show that the court had
Article III standing, they would not be able to show that the court should exercise
jurisdiction because prudential standing concerns would prevent it from doing so," he
added. "Finally, the court again in a footnote said that it cannot take jurisdiction of the issue
of whether Obama is a 'natural born citizen' and whether Congress has acted
constitutionally in its confirmation of Obama for president because the matter is a 'political
question' which needs to be resolved by Congress."
(snip)
A appeal will be filed with the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, he said. "

Appeal filed in Obama eligibility argument
'Court cannot refuse to hear a case because it prefers not'
Posted: October 27, 2009
8:43 pm Eastern
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
A case alleging Congress failed in its constitutional duties by refusing to investigate the
eligibility of Barack Obama to be president has been sent on appeal to the 3rd U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo filed the action in January on behalf of Kerchner, Lowell T. Patterson,
Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. Named as defendants were Barack
Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former
Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The case focuses on the alleged failure of Congress to follow the Constitution. That
document, the lawsuit states, "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate
'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."
The case asserts "when Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama
himself was the same.
The Constitution provides, the lawsuit says, "If the president-elect shall have failed to
qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have
qualified."
"There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and other concerned
Americans regarding Obama's eligibility to be president and defendants had the sworn duty
to protect and preserve the Constitution and specifically under the 20th Amendment,
Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to confirm whether Obama, once the electors elected
him, was qualified," the case explained.
The attorney now has posted online a notice of his appeal to the 3rd Circuit in Philadelphia.
"Through his dismissal, Judge Simandle avoided having to reach the merits of the question
of whether Obama is an Article II 'natural born citizen' and eligible for the office of president
and commander in chief," Apuzzo said.
"We allege that Obama has not conclusively proven that he was born in Hawaii. More
importantly, we also allege that he is not an Article II 'natural born Citizen' because when
Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama himself was the same."
The lawyer said it is important that the court did not rule Obama was born in Hawaii, nor did
it rule that the claim was frivolous.
It simply said the case was dismissed because of a jurisdiction issue. (snip)

Obama law tab up to $1.7 million
'Grassroots army' contributions used to crush eligibility lawsuits?
Posted: October 27, 2009
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
8:42 pm Eastern
By Chelsea Schilling
President Obama he has paid nearly $1.7 million to his top eligibility lawyer since the
election.
Obama for America, Obama's 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National
Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America. The grassroots army
that some refer to as "Obama 2.0" is still collecting financial contributions.
Federal Election Commission records for "Obama for America" show that the lobby
organization has paid international law firm Perkins Coie exactly $1,666,397.01 since the
2008 election.
The most recent sum, $314,018.06, was listed in Obama for America's October Quarterly
report filed with the FEC. (snip)
The FEC shows Obama's campaign has made regular payments to Perkins Coie since Jan. 1,
2007 – the month he formed a presidential exploratory committee and only weeks before he
formally announced his candidacy for president.
In total, Obama has paid Perkins Coie, a single law firm, $2.6 million since he announced
his campaign for presidency. By contrast, a cumulative total of all of Sen. John McCain's
legal consulting fees, from Jan. 1, 2007, to October 2009, amounts to $1.6 million.
As WND reported, Robert Bauer of Perkins Coie – top lawyer for Obama, Obama's
presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama's Organizing for
America – is the same Washington, D.C., lawyer who defended President Obama in lawsuits
challenging his eligibility to be president.
WND also reported that Bauer sent a letter to plaintiff Gregory Hollister, a retired Air Force
colonel, of Hollister v. Soetoro, threatening sanctions if he didn't withdraw his appeal of the
eligibility case that earlier was tossed by a district judge because the issue already had been
"twittered."
Bauer's warning was dated April 3 and delivered via letter to the plaintiff's attorney, John D.
Hemenway. It is not the first such warning issued. Lawyers trying to kill a similar California
lawsuit filed on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes also said they would seek sanctions
against the plaintiff's attorneys in that case unless they left the issue of the president's
eligibility alone.
"For the reasons stated in Judge Robertson's ruling, the suit is frivolous and should not be
pursued," Bauer's letter warned. "Should you decline to withdraw this frivolous appeal,
please be informed that we intend to pursue sanctions, including costs, expenses and
attorneys' fees, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 38 and D.C. Circuit Rule
38."
Bauer also represented Obama and the DNC in Philip Berg's eligibility lawsuit and various
other legal challenges. The White House has not responded to WND's request for comment
on the legal fees. (snip)

Judge dismisses California eligibility challenge
Plaintiffs promise appeal of ruling protecting Obama
Posted: October 29, 2009
2:02 pm Eastern
By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
A California judge has dismissed a complaint challenging President Obama's eligibility to be
president citing the "birth certificate from the state of Hawaii" that apparently refers to an
Internet image of a "Certification of Live Birth" released during Obama's campaign.
The ruling came this morning from Judge David Carter who as WND reported last night
apparently recently hired a law clerk out of the law firm that has been paid nearly $1.7
million to defend Obama from such eligibility challenges.
A Wikipedia page has been cited by dozens of bloggers after it listed Siddarth Velamoor as
one of the newest law clerks for Carter – who today released his ruling dismissing the
complaint in the Barnett v. Obama case in the Central District, Southern Division Court in
Santa Ana, Calif.
Velamoor is also listed in the Martindale lawyer database as an associate of international
law firm Perkins Coie, the same law firm of Robert Bauer – top lawyer for Obama, Obama's
presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama's Organizing for
America – and the same Washington, D.C., lawyer who defended President Obama in
lawsuits challenging his eligibility to be president.
As WND has reported, Federal Election Commission records for "Obama for America" show
that the lobby organization has paid Perkins Coie exactly $1,666,397.01 since the 2008

9th Circuit asked: Do courts enforce Constitution?
Challenge to Obama's eligibility moves to appeals panel
Posted: November 18, 2009 12:51 am Eastern
By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
The stage is being set for a major ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on whether
the U.S. judiciary actually can enforce the provisions of the Constitution.
The basic question is being raised in an appeal of a district judge's decision to dismiss a
legal challenge to Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to be president.
WND previously reported U.S. District Judge David Carter's decision to dismiss the
complaint that listed several dozen plaintiffs.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has filed a notice of appeal to the 9th
Circuit in the case. Because of the unusual circumstances in which some of the plaintiffs are
represented by another lawyer , attorney Orly Taitz also has filed a motion for
reconsideration.
Kreep, who represents plaintiffs Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson, posed the question at
the center of the case: "Whether the court may make a determination of whether the
president has met the eligibility requirements for office, whether the 'natural born citizen'
clause of the United States Constitution may be enforced by the courts, whether the 'natural
born citizen' clause of the U.S. Constitution is a nonpolitical question, whether the court
may remove from office a president that was not elected in accordance with the U.S.
Constitution." (snip)

God help this nation if they lack the courage to take a stand with the citizenry of this great
nation.  The future of American justice hangs in the balance! The people deserve much

foundational principles and values.

Appeals briefs scheduled in Obama eligibility challenge
'We look forward to moving ahead with this very important constitutional case'

A briefing schedule has been announced by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a case
alleging Congress failed in its constitutional duties by refusing to investigate the eligibility of
Barack Obama to be president, according to an attorney handling the challenge.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo filed the action in January on behalf of Kerchner, Lowell T. Patterson,
Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. Named as defendants were Barack
Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former
Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The case focuses on the alleged failure of Congress to follow the Constitution. That
document, the lawsuit states, "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate
'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."
The case asserts "when Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama
himself was the same.
The Constitution also provides, the lawsuit says, "If the president-elect shall have failed to
qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have
qualified."
"There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and other concerned
Americans regarding Obama's eligibility to be president and defendants had the sworn duty
to protect and preserve the Constitution and specifically under the 20th Amendment,
Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to confirm whether Obama, once the electors elected
him, was qualified," the case explained.
Now the attorney has posted an online statement that the brief on behalf of the appellants
is due Jan. 4, 2010.
In an e-mail announcing the schedule, Kerchner wrote, "We look forward to moving ahead
with this very important constitutional case along the legal pathway to the ultimate decision
maker for this historic and precedence setting lawsuit, the U.S. Supreme Court."
He continued. "They will determine the answer to the pressing legal question
of what is a 'natural born citizen' of the USA per Article II constitutional standards and did
Obama and the U.S. Congress violate the Constitution and statutory laws and my
constitutional rights during the 2008 election cycle." (snip)
