Another malstatement by the defense ...#16) (cont.)<br /><br />Another malstatement by the defense is "... Plaintiffs allege that they have the<br />right to be governed by a constitutionally qualified President ...". While that certainly is true, what the Plantiffs are really insisting upon in nothing more than assiduous proof that the contract between the citizens and the government originally agreed to at the founding of the country has been followed in the case of Presidential eligibility. <br /><br />The Plantiffs insisting that it is their right is not some new "right" created out of whole cloth ... it has existed as long as our country has - and the government only has to show that the eligibility clause has been met ... and not doing so is indeed a particularized "injury" though not one for which monetary or legislative damages are being requested.<br /><br />The Defendants have plainly and obviously already decided to consciously NOT follow the laws of our country in this regard having considered it since the Senate SR511 shows there was some legislative notice of such a condition for one of the candidates.<br /><br />Continuing with this brazen assault upon the contract document (the Constitution) is unconscionable as well as an affront to any reasonable person. It also smacks of arrogance and condescension much like that just before 1800 in France when one of the monarchs supposedly said of a disaffected populace "... let them eat cake ..." - and we all know (or should) what happened to good old Marie. I don't happen to like cake and would merely prefer - like the Plantiffs - to see our Constitution followed and our laws to not have Congressional noses thumbed at it.<br /><br />This is a simple contract dispute between the two parties in which one of the parties is attempting to get the Judicial Branch of the second party to agree with the protection of the other two branches by allowing them to not follow the law (the contract) by use of artifice and "terms of art" which do not even apply to the contract violation.<br /><br />If anything, the MTD should be thrown out as non-responsive to the complaint since it addresses things not in evidence in the complaint but rather other, more "normal" injury situations which are typically tortious or even producing material or services under contract with the government or preventing disclosure of national secrets. Those things are not what we have in this action - not even close.<br /><br />I'll pipe down for a while now (though I'll have more later) and give others space to pitch in ...jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-66343696926160646532009-07-07T12:02:45.042-04:002009-07-07T12:02:45.042-04:00squinlivan:
Excellent post and right on point I b...squinlivan:<br /><br />Excellent post and right on point I believe (and your term "rant" is quite correct, too).<br /><br />This case is hardly the "usual" case seeking express or implied monetary- or rules-changing damages from the government as the result of some (ralatively) recent legislation ... say within the last couple of hundred years.<br /><br />Instead, the case is an insisting by the Plantiffs that the government follow the basic, well-accepted, long standing law(s) of our country - the United States Constitution - which clearly and unambiguously has not been done ... or if so, the Defense can merely show where eligibility has been proven by their participants instead of presenting nonsensical claims about "immunity" from a contract long-ago agreed to. <br /><br />Certainly, the Plantiffs' insistence is not a claim for "damages" in the sense intended by any of the precedents cited by the Defense ... instead, it is unprecedented and the equivalent of "damages" is the gross ignoring of Constitutional law. <br /><br />I cannot see where "damages" or "injury in fact" as described and intended by the Defense even apply in this case since we are talking of a simple insistence that our government follow its own laws rather than make any sort of monetary or legislative award to the Plantiffs.<br /><br />As you point out, if the government in the form of the Judiciary can dismiss such a simple, legally-grounded request by the Plantiffs by accepting the terms of art given by the Defense (which BTW are a pattern frequently used by the DOJ in more "normal" cases of tort, contract law, national secrets cases, etc.) then all are in trouble and not merely the Plantiffs. Cursory inspection of the Table of Authorities cited shows a reliance by the DOJ on many of the "old standbys" that have served it well in the past ... Blue Fox, ADAPSO, Lujan, etc. Sprinkling in the newer off-point Berg etc. adds nothing meaningful. This case is none of the above but a simple insistence that the government obey its own laws - which all of its employees (even temporary Census Enumerators) must swear to and which it has not done.<br /><br />The "injury in fact" complained of (the government not following its own laws when it had agreed to in the original contract - the Constitution) is easily enough corrected in large part by the court conducting a simple finding of fact (the discovery mentioned earlier in one of my posts). <br /><br />The correction of that "injury" is easily done along with the redress of the "injury" by conducting the requisite discovery and proof of eligibility. After that, the court could, perhaps, sua sponte state that it finds the Obama defendant either eligible or not eligible. That would certainly clear up the eligibility portion of the action and allow the litigation to proceed from that basis.<br /><br />But if the court should decide to turn a blind eye ala the blindfold on the Lady Justice statue they will have given the lie to the principles of that statue - the "law is blind" concept - since they will be saying that the other two branches of government are beyond the reach of the Judicial Branch and that We The People can "go piss up a rope" as the French say (sounds more elegant in French as it is something like "pidisparaissent la pisse vers le haut d'une cord").<br /><br />I believe that the Plantiffs as a part of the contracted party in We The People clearly have standing to insist that the contract be followed - and that the government (especially in the form of the Legislative and Executive Branches) have no "immunity" from following the law of the country ... which in the instance complained of is the demonstration of eligibility of Mr. Obama.jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-28973344872620932122009-07-06T23:43:10.955-04:002009-07-06T23:43:10.955-04:00BRAVO Jayjay !!!

"is the next election"... means they assert democratic RULE...which THIS COUNTRY IS NOT....<br /><br />You're right, the next election will be more of the same, since the Two Parties have schemed together to estabish the rules for running and made it next to impossible for any but the well (rich) heeled (pun intended)to run for office...but this is a republican form of government and the majority do not get to push their will on to the rest or minority of us...WE supposedly live by the RULE OF LAW....<br /><br />BIG POINT HERE: If I go to Court and I am assigned a Judge, that I discover is not "qualified" to hear my case I can have him removed, and some Judges resist this action and usually fail, BUT I have EVERY RIGHT TO FEAR this government official and can QUESTION his authrity to Act, and if he be less than qualified, he will be removed, In federal Court "they sometimes" try (offer you) to have a case decided by a "magistrate" rather than a Judge, and everyone has the choice to accept this less experienced official, or they can refuse the choice and seek a Judge....whats so different about the Presidency, are we to follow the rule of law, or can we use legal terms of art to dismiss the issue....<br />.....because "millions of people voted" and we dare not upset an election because of the havoc it may or might send into the streets....<br /><br />Really, hundreds of thousands have already signed petitions (see WND) to have the eligibility issue addressed...but they have not taken to the streets...wreaking havoc...because they believe that our system of justice will address the matter and not side step it...<br /><br />we are entitled to have the law, Constitution followed, and are right to fear an "UNQUALIFIED" President, just as we have a right to fear the magistrate rather than the experience of a Judge...<br /><br />It is an injury to leave people in fear of the loss of their peace, and tranquility, and their right to be safe in their own country nevermind their own homes...<br /><br />If the Courts can DISMISS their duty to finally DEFINE what is a natural born citizen and allow the Legislative branch to define what the Constitution means, like non-binding (non-binding means they know it has no teeth) Senate Resolution 511, then we do not need a Judiciary, they have made themselves superflourous...have they not....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171382418553106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-25172943075721287532009-07-06T21:42:08.969-04:002009-07-06T21:42:08.969-04:00#15) (cont.)

The pretense to the contary by claiming that somehow third parties are named or considered in their action.<br /><br />The second component - despite the malstatements that somehow (unspecified) "generalized grievances" should be addressed in the legislative arena is patent nonsense. Eligibility is hardly generalized but very specific as to determining how it may be discovered and certainly was purposely and pointed ignored by the legislative branch be merely pretending there need be no following the Constitutional menu for that. Counsel now pretends that an equitable result would be to wait for the next election ... which is claptrap and nonsense as the same situation of eligibility as now prevails would prevaiul then absent the Plantiffs action. Continued ignoring of the constitutional flaw is not a correction of the problem.<br /><br />The third component of prudential standing certainly does fall within the ‘the zone of interests to be protected or regulated by the statute or constitutional guarantee in question.’ and it is absolutely astopunding that counsel would even attempt to shyster the court with such bravado. Clearly the Constitution speaks very clearly on the eligibility for the office of President - and this is certainly what the Plantiff's action is all about ... yet another malstatement I suppose (being gracious).<br /><br />The defense claim that "... Plaintiffs allege that they have the right to be governed by a constitutionally qualified President is not the type of particularized harm that confers standing." we once again see the type of malstatemtnt that has applied throughout. Not only is there case law that shows that the "generalized grievance" mentioned does not normally warrant jurisdiction, it also does not say that is precluded and, in fact, is sometimes quite justified. And this is anything but a "normal" case. In fact, it is unprecedent in US history and that fact should be recognized by the court rather than accepting the pretense of the defense that it is like some sort of tort case or personal crash injury proceeding.<br /><br />The disengenuous comments by defense counsel re voting being the proper mechanism to address the eligibility consideration is ridiculous on its face. Voting has nothing at all to do with the eligibility requirement (although hopefully that will be corrected before the next election) seem to be merely more of the malstatements intended to redirect the court's attention from the real issue of eligibility or lack thereof.<br /><br />Additionally the defense has it quite backward when they claim that Plantiffs fail to recognize constraints (without telling us what they may be) that "... limit<br />the jurisdiction of the federal courts to ensure the proper<br />separation of powers.". Balderdash - it is the defense who is completely at sea in this assertion as the issue at hand is one of Constitutional moment and is MOST CERTAINLY proper in a court of law - particularly so since the other two branches of our government have (for whatever reason which we will not consider) chosen to ignore the matter or pretend it does not exist.<br /><br />IT DOES EXIST AND MUST BE SETTLED IN A COURT OF LAW UNDER RULES OF CONDUCT AND RULES OF EVIDENCE!!jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-9539169546690914032009-07-06T19:28:53.472-04:002009-07-06T19:28:53.472-04:00#14) (cont.)

One would think that might be a conflict of interest and that perhaps disinterested counsel should be retained (and individually paid for, perhaps). At least the recognition of conflict of interest on the part of the defense should be made.<br /><br />The defense notes "... the Article III judicial power exists only to redress or otherwise to protect against injury to the complaining party, even though the court’s judgment may benefit others collaterally.” but the Plaintiffs are saying that the "injury" here is the failure of the man who agressively sought and won the Presidency to ever show in any sort of conclusive, valid fashion that he IS eligible for the office. And THAT injury can certainly be addressed for the Plantiffs by the Judicial Branch in making a few simple findings of fact within its clear purview and then making a studied legal decision or appealing to a higher court to do so. Either the man is or is not eligible and a few well-placed legal commands to produce evidence to those entities holding the evidence in the form of the state of HI BC and Occidental College records would suffice, since they will likely show most or even all of the factual material required for adjudicating the matter.<br /><br />It seems to me that the Plantiffs are not really seeking an order to Obama to produce any documents since the requisite documents are know to be in the control of others. In fact, any documents produced by Obama would have to be immediately suspect since they would be a potential admission against interest as he has already sworn to be a NBC and fully eligible under the Constitution - which is altogether questionable.<br /><br />Obama's eligibility rather than "citizenship" is what is being challenged and it is the US Constitution that makes the eligibility requirement which, after all, Mr. Obama has sworn in writing and under oath that he fulfils. The position taken by the defense here seems to be another of those "we are superior to the law of the land" pronouncements that are replete in their MTD.<br /><br />And, again, more malstatements as it is not the Plaintiffs having the right to challenge the eligibility - it is the law of our country that specifies eligibility. Does defense assert, then, that Mr. Obama is above the law??? The way I read the document, Art 2, Sec 1, cl 5 is "black letter law" and it has not yet been complied with ... and that's what the Plantiffs are seeking - no matter the softshoe dancing and or the folderol pronouncements of the defense.<br /><br />It seems to me that what the Plantiffs are really saying is "if Mr. Obama is not eligible (no matter how so found) then he must no longer be the legal President of this country and I believe that quite possibly approximately 90% of the legal citizens of the country would agree once they stopped to think seriously and unemotionally about the matter. <br /><br />After all - why WOULD anyone wish to have an illegal President since nothing could legally get done WRT passing laws, ordering the military, collecting taxes, etc. ... but perhaps the defense is saying that all those things don't matter and that the man they're attempting to defend is above the law (which no longer matters anyway). Oh, what the hell!!! Who needs laws anyway??? Wait a minute - isn't that what we pay obscene sums to 535 people (and their hirelings) for??? Maybe we can just get rid of them, too???<br /><br />Isn't that really what the defense is promulgating?? Why do they not merely prevail on Obama to publicly and unequivocatingly authorize any entities holding documents relating to his vital statistics (including college records) to be publicly released.jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-60304806190282177842009-07-06T18:40:06.205-04:002009-07-06T18:40:06.205-04:00#13 (cont.) ...
So the defense counsel reads the ...#13 (cont.) ...<br /><br />So the defense counsel reads the constitution as allowing a "petition for redress" which the Congress - being superior to the Constitution - is free to ignore??<br /><br />REALLY???<br /><br />I had a sneaking suspicion that there were some in this country who have always wished that were so (and that they fervently believed that and acted accordingly) but I didn't realize that even lowly toilers in the Justice Branch also realized and believed that. What have we come to ... mob rule??? Dr. Franklin might say "I told you so"!!<br /><br />Defense Counsel seems to be adopting the position that "other concerned Americans" are of no importance which is comedic since it is the Plantiffs asserting their rights and merely noting in passing (since it seems to have been forgotten within many parts of our government) that there are, indeed, other citizens who are rightfully concerned about the eligibility issue.<br /><br />Throughout the MTD counsel takes the position that it is the Plantiffs who are "trying to compel" Congress to do such and such under Article so and so as though the citizens are somehow taking an unrightful advantage of the poor Congressmen. In fact it is the Constitution that compels these individuals in the Legislative Branch to do these things and the Plantiffs are merely trying to point this out and try to help bring this about. Congress, perhaps, has the same arrogant view of being able to ignore the Constitution at their own whim whenever it is convenient for them. I see no such "convenience clause" in the Constitution but perhaps the good defense counsel could cite it to enlighten us?<br /><br />Counsel makes only slight passing note of the Congregational action re McCain's eligibility yet says nothing further to explain why this was done for one man but not the other. After all, shouldn't Congress feel free to ignore a Constitutional requirement for both men rather than just one - or do we have here selective ignoring of desired parts of the law of the land??? Who picks and chooses which person to apply the provision to and which to ignore it for??? How is that selectivity worded in Article 2, Section 1, clause 5 ... I forget. Is the media "notified" so they will not "misreport" the action??? Just curious.<br /><br />And it was not the conducting of the congregational hearing that was being complained about, it was the calling for complaints (which was not done in violation to the law) that was complained about. That's merely another of those malstatements - and I've not even commented on all of them.<br /><br />Also, it is not a matter of simple opinion "shared by others" (another of those malstatements) that is the issue on eligibility but the legal requirement which Mr. Obama has not demonstrated that he has satisfied despite claiming under oath that he has. <br /><br />Walk the walk, big boy ... we've heard and seen you talk the talk ... SHOW US THE ELIGIBILITY!!!<br /><br />Citing results in other eligibility cases vs Mr. Obama is disingenuous in the extreme since these were all directed at him during the campaign prior to the election. That ain't where we're at now!! He's now a "sitting President" and - quite likely - should not be. Snide recitations of previous cases declined (some questionably) for procedural reasons isn't at all helpful since being a "political issue" no longer offers the Defense a valid excuse (no matter how much it hurts).<br /><br />Plantiffs DO meet the injury in fact (one wonders what an injury in non-fact might be) and the members of the Defense Counsel team (even if that's the entire Justice Department set of attorneys) might do well to understand that their own positions might be in jeopardy if ineligibility is determined legally ... but perhaps that's why such a stubborn, dog-with-a-bone insistence persists as well as the many malstatements.jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-67747980087381981442009-07-06T17:52:00.512-04:002009-07-06T17:52:00.512-04:00#12) (cont.) ,,,

Plaintiffs allege that if President Obama is not a natural born citizen, then irreparable harm will come to the “stability of the United States of America, its people, and the plaintiffs.”.<br /><br />While that is no doubt true, that is NOT what Plantiffs claim but rather the fact that he may very well be ineligible for the office he now occupies is what the harm originates from. This seems to be another of the malstatements intending to pin the tail on the donkey of the BC so that producing it like magic, the claim can be put forth - "... see, a BC - he's a NBC ...". It is eligibility not the producing of or content of a BC per se that is the be-all and end-all of the eligibility matter. And the ruling of law would still need to be made if the discovered facts are sufficient to show eligibility or lack thereof.<br /><br />And, again, it's not the Plantiffs demanding the Obama prove his eligibility but it is the Constitution. Since Obama actively sought the position in the election and claimed under sworn and signed, written oath that he was a NBC and that he had fulfilled the constitutional requirements thereof. The Plantiffs are merely asking, metaphorically, "show us the money" since talk is indeed excessively cheap.<br /><br />Counsel states Plantiffs "because they do not conclusively know the President’s citizenship, they are<br />“forced to live their lives feeling unsafe, insecure, and in fear for their peace, tranquility, and prosperity,” presumably along<br />with every other American who shares their view. Another malstatement since other Americans may (or may not) share their view nor is that the issue nor is his "citizenship" but rather his eligibility for the office - the Plantiffs have that view and that is the viewpoint from which they are generating the point.<br /><br />As for "usurping", that is what the action is all about and if the fact finding clearly shows that to be true that is one set of conditions and certainly it would be more that just the Plantiffs or merely Americans that would be injured but many citizens and the governments in other countries. It is something of interest to not merely US citizens, but it is the Plantiffs who have lodged the Complaint to protect themselves and their own especially.<br /><br />Rather than go through all of this involved rigamarole, one wonders why the Defense Counsel doesn't merely advise Onama to grant free access to his records rather than put everyone - including himself - through this continuing nightmare. Does he perhaps think that he will succeed in overcoming his role model Abraham Lincoln's advice that:<br /><br />"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."??<br /><br />One would think that history might be easier on his legacy if he acted responsibly before circumstances get any more out of hand if he has any ethical feelings at all.jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-84700563744621379272009-07-06T16:54:17.315-04:002009-07-06T16:54:17.315-04:00#11) (cont.) ... now back to things like "jur...#11) (cont.) ... now back to things like "jurisdiction", "standing", and "immunity" ...<br /><br />Certainly SCOTUS does not have jurisdiction over the finding of facts such as are required to determine the truth in this action since they typically don't like to dirty their hands with such mundane dirty work but wish to oversee and critique the work of lower courts. Simple court action such as promulgating subpoenas to a few parties; e.g., HI BC folks and Occidental College officials would be about all of the "heavy lifting" required of the court. In addition, both of those entities have indicated they have the original complete records involved, so FedEx-ing (or other fast shipper) should not be either time-consuming or expensive.<br /><br />After that, should the court feel timid about the law involved and deem the facts so determined necessitated the court to pass the case (or the buck) up the ladder for SCOTUS judging, that could certainly be done after fact finding - depending upon what those facts might be.<br /><br />As to matters of "standing" (either Art III or prudential) a couple of things come to mind in relation to "injury". The actions taken by any President affect at the very least the Plantiffs in this case (not even mentioning any ancillary effects on other citizens) in matters such as increased taxation, altered basis of Census taking from that called out in the Constitution (and benefitting various minority groups while being run by a non-Constitutional group)just to mention a couple. These and other things as well will be altered to the benefit of the Plantiffs if the determination of ineligibility is made. <br /><br />Keep in mind that the earlier malstatements by the defense indicate a misunderstanding of the particulars of the case and so the claims the might make about "standing" of any sort are - at best - speculative and most likely not applicable to the Plantiffs' action. After all, the court is not being asked to consider tort claims nor those of excessivew interest rates being charges ... far from it. The issue is far more seminal than that and deserves both serious - and expeditious - consideration. <br /><br />The defense has used the bleatings of "complexities" and "too much stuff" and "legal representation must be decided upon by the parties" as though they had not already had an excessively beneficial amount of time to respond and yet we find them undertaking their efforts with no new legal counsel at all but counsel that bitterly complains of, in effect, "too much work" or words to that effect. Isn't that what our tax dollars are (wrongly) paying the counsel for??? Why the bitching??<br /><br />In fact, why isn't the defense required to show how they are "injured" by the case brought by the Plantiffs? After all, none of them know the vital statistics (or perhaps even the name or citizenship) of the man involved so what injury to them is being claimed? For that matter, what standing do they have to defend this person - whoever he may be.<br /><br />If he is, indeed, not eligible, should not that fact be determined as quickly, if possible, by the fact finding and - from those facts - if his ineligibility is clear (let's say his BC shows Kenyan birth or the facts show, perhaps Indonesian citizenship rather than America) would his taxpayer-funded government-counsel not be immediately dismissed - or at least penalized for bringing a frivolous defense to court?jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-30847827016945742482009-07-06T15:53:08.153-04:002009-07-06T15:53:08.153-04:00#10) (to continue re the MTD) ...

The defense statement implies that the candidate actually tried to establish his eligibility to run for President and merely failed to do so (presumably, by inference, to his opponents). In fact he has never even TRIED to show he is eligible at all, but did (in the AZ paperwork mentioned in comment #7 above) actually swear in writing signed and under a jurat notarization that he was a "natural born citizen" and was "qualified" (elibible) under the United States constutional requirements. This is not an attempt to prove that he is eligible as a NBC, but merely a statemtnt that he IS one. There's a great difference and the Plantiffs have stated (correctly) that B. H. O. has never proved to any sufficient legal authority (or the public at large for that matter) that he does, as he claimed, meet the constitutional requirements. He's merely tried to flim-flam everyone with false items such as the well-known COLD of his own website.<br /><br />Since that defense statement is false, all of the claims stemming from that by the defense are false also; e.g., that the Plantiffs "... raise a bevy of constitutional claims against President Obama that<br />are predicated on that basic argument". Predicated upon a false statement this claim and others depending upon it must be false also.<br /><br />There are quite a number of such "malstatements" (my term) throughout the MTD and I've only touched on a few. The Plantiffs need to be vigilant so that the malaproprisms or eggcorns are not "ooched-in" to the record. As another example in about the next paragraph after the above, counsel throws in "... Plaintiffs allege that the<br />Congressional Defendants have abridged a variety of their<br />constitutional rights ...". Well, NO, that is not what was alleged at all but that those defendants violated the U. S. Constitution by not performing their so-prescribed duty. By doing so the defendants certainly did abridge and violate a variety of the constitutional rights of the Plantiffs (and others) no doubt - but that was not what the action charged. Merely another attempt to "ooch-in" some of those little malstatements/eggcorns.<br /><br />The defense continues right on to state things about the malstatement just given to try to make it appear that Plantiffs were asking Congressional Defendants to correct the (as the defense phrased it) constitutional rights the Plantiffs claimed - which was not the case as it was the violation of the Constitutional requirement by Congress that was involved and not specific individual Plantiff's rights only. More "ooching-in", you see.<br />Immediately after the above paragraph in the MTD, counsel dropped this little gem:<br /><br />"Defendants now move to dismiss this action in its entirety<br />with prejudice because Plaintiffs lack standing to maintain this<br />suit. In addition, the Congressional Defendants alternatively move<br />to dismiss this complaint with prejudice because they are immune<br />from this suit."<br /><br />Presumably the defense felt that it had planted enough malstatements to fool the court but I fail to see how the actual Plantiff's claims were not correctly stated or addressed by counsel but rather the malstatements were the targeted items.<br /><br />I wonder if it is possible for the Plantiffs to move at this point to Dismiss the MTD as being unresponsive to the Plantiffs' original Pleading due to things such as the malstatemtnts just mentioned (and others later)???jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845961766550552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-81381228282673702632009-07-05T22:54:51.492-04:002009-07-05T22:54:51.492-04:00once yopu moved to Indonesia then you were under I...once yopu moved to Indonesia then you were under Indonesian rule and therefore if he was adopted by Indonesian man then he shall become Indonesian citizen for he moved to jakarta in 1967. The child right especially citizenship, religion etc by Indonesian law is under the parents or guardian wish. Since the child cannot make their own decision. Therefore if his parents renounced his nationality in Indonesian nationality he is or was indonesian citizen. After 18 he could said he wanted another nationality therefore renounced his indonesian nationality but if he not and moved to another nation and never heard the plead of naturalization then he still an Indonesian. I cannot tell you by much now for I alone in the enemy heart and soil.

Look on his book when he was claimed to be an Indonesian by adoption by Lolo Soetoro; Dreams From My Father. But you must watchout too for most Indonesian but me will defending him because on the same bill there's a statement that he were above 5 years old when he was adopted; however the key point is on article 1.b that I sent to this forum. By reading his book, all indonesian includiong the current president and all his rival in Presidential race knows all along and use this for benefit for Indonesia. For me I doing this shall be called treason for Indonesian but I just want to return the favor that your country men (not government) give to my country men the chinese who lives in Indonesia that was being gang raped, murdered, burned alive during May riots 1998. Mark my word if this BHO not fall or keep continue as your pres then he will not copied what Hugo Chavez done instead he shall be Soeharto.

And that is why they are all still blocking any investigation of what happened last year.

S. 505<br /><br />When a governmental prohibition or restriction imposed on one party causes specific harm to a third party, harm that a constitutional provision or statute was intended to prevent, the indirectness of the injury does not necessarily deprive the person harmed of standing to vindicate his rights. E.g., Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113, 410 U. S. 124 (1973). But it may make it substantially more difficult to meet the minimum requirement of Art. III: to establish that, in fact, the asserted injury was the consequence of the defendants' actions, or that prospective relief will remove the harm."<br /><br />Maybe this is where some attempt to "clarify" the superior status of the Constitution "and it's flaw" of not having anyone or any entity responsible for ensuring compliance with NBC and using Marbury v Madison RE: nothing is superflurous (sp) and it all has meaning....because failure of the Court to hear and provide relief is not providing an election according to law....which makes us no less than the third world countries we "rail" about like we're so much better....<br /><br />So if NOT the COURTS, this same event can occur again in the next election and still there is NO SOLUTION....because the Courts find "no personl direct harm to any entity for conduct contrary to..or in avoidance of the mandates of the Constitution???<br /><br />To what effect is "checks and balances" if it becomes merely a catch phrase without Effect!<br /><br />Can the Courts refuse the right to petition for allegations that factually show NON COMPLIANCE with the mandates of the Constitution..??? <br />Please ask the Court this question<br /><br />Is it harmless error for Congress to both ignore the people's complaints and to allow an election against both procedures and mandates of the Constitution?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171382418553106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-88965651588432147502009-07-05T15:27:41.863-04:002009-07-05T15:27:41.863-04:00Mario and Charles....

All of these sorts of things are just intended to trigger thought processes that may not have been considered or not considered in the way discussed ... and I've no doubt some of them may potentially help give the Plaintiffs seeds for thought.<br /><br />I'll get back to the MTD later, but in the meantime, what about the situation where a Kenyan citizen (& governed by British law) goes to a foreign country (HI in this case) and impregnates an American minor female, then finally marries her. Does that not make the woman obtain the citizenship of the husband upon marriage and therefore any children that may result also have that citizenship?<br /><br />After all the Brits are pretty stubborn about their idea of once a Brit always a Brit unless that citizenship is formally renounced.<br /><br />If dates work out correctly, would that not make our putative president a Brit??? Maybe British records for same WRT Obama (both Sr. and Jr.) should be requested via the State department.<br /><br />BTW all, there is a 4,096 character size limit in each post on Blogger so I had to parse mine.

But I did order a couple packs of the glossy printed on one side post cards "Where's Your Birth Certificate" birthday cards that WND.com is selling. Wouldn't it be great if Obama got 1,000,000 plus of those on or before his "birthday" in August. They are very inexpensive too. $4 for a pack of five which includes the S&H. See the WND.com store for the details.<br /><br /><a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=102900" rel="nofollow">Where's The Birth Certificate Birthday Cards</a><br /><br />How about sending an extra million of the cards to the members of Congress. If we each buy some extra ones and mail one to each of your U.S. Senators and House Representatives and ask them to wish Obama a happy birthday but also ask him "Where's His Birth Certificate", the real long form original one which shows the name of the hospital he was alleged born in and the doctor or mid-wife who attended the birth. I think this idea has legs. I'm going to do it.<br /><br />Charlescfkerchnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941086863044892649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466841558189356289.post-42366929631072355112009-07-04T23:19:36.548-04:002009-07-04T23:19:36.548-04:00I attended the Tea Party in Tallahassee today.

I was the only one that had an Obama eligiblity sign. I got alot of attention. I was asked about my sign by many. Many were aware of Obama eligiblity problem. Some even had "Where's the Birth Certificate" bumper stickers. I specifically told people to watch and read up on the Kerchner Vs. Obama lawsuit.<br /><br />Just a Note about the motion to dismiss:<br /><br />Mario in designing his counter motion should and is taking the defendent's motion to dismiss and spreading it out to come up with ways of defeating it.<br /><br />You should get as many people as possible t study the motion and finds ways of defeating it.<br /><br />You should also send it to other attorneys but it is possible that some who look at it on this blog may be attorneys as well.<br /><br />The motion can be defeated with 100s maybe thounsands of people looking at and trying to defeat it.<br /><br />Ultimately is will up to Mario and his legal expertise on what advise has merit and can be worked into his counter motion.<br /><br />Good Luck and God BlessJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793622722554168489noreply@blogger.com
