-- Just found out that the judge accepted the surreply. There's a minute order on scribd. --

I'm not detail familiar with the style of case at hand, but if it's a civil case before a "regular" judge (not an administrative hearing sort of event), the usual protocol is for one side to file a motion, the other side to respond (or reply), and then the initiator (of the motion) gets to rebut the counterargument. The State Department request or motion to reject the surreply is an unusual step.

That is, the judge expects 3 papers when a motion is filed, and the 3rd one is the surreply. Said another way, the filer of the motion is entitled to a surreply. The judge can and will decide for himself if the contents are persuasive or refer to controlling law; or if the contents are repetitive or junk.

Plaintiff here is making a great case and argument.

I’m glad you think so. I do too, and I hope the judge will also.

The motion to reject the surreply was a bit disingenuous, referring to a case where a woman’s surreply was rejected because she was responding to what she called a “mischaracterization” of her motives (she had been accused of trying to get a promotion through a court case rather than simply getting her specialized certification as required).

Bowen tried to say, on behalf of the DOS, that a surreply should be rejected if it is simply a response to a “mischaracterization”.

But to mischaracterize a person’s motive is totally different than outright misquoting them, which is stating a false material fact - an apparent violation of Rule 3.3 as rolling stone cited.

So Bowen’s motion to reject the surreply tried to classify Bowen’s own previous statement of a false material fact (a breach of ethics if he refused to correct is, as he did by the motion to reject the surreply) as a mere “mischaracterization” - trying to stretch a ruling on apples to apply it to an orange colored red with crayon.

Geez, that was a confusing sentence. Can you tell I’m running on low sleep? lol. Maybe I should take a nap before I subject anybody to any more of this.

What was that about FOIA...?

The Freedom of Information Act should be administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails. The Government should not keep information confidential merely because public officials might be embarrassed [think Lakin] by disclosure , because errors and failures might be revealed, or because of speculative or abstract fears. Nondisclosure should never be based on an effort to protect the personal interests of Government officials at the expense of those they are supposed to serve. In responding to requests under the FOIA, executive branch agencies (agencies) should act promptly and in a spirit of cooperation, recognizing that such agencies are servants of the public.

When you lie right out of the gate what do you expect people to believe of the rest?

Of course, this Presidential Memo has no force of law so he knew he could lie through his teeth...
This memorandum does not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Thanks!

Does a PDF work as an image? On Wordpress I can get a PDF to show because it uploads it as an image. Or at least that’s what they call it. I just tried to post a PDF and it didn’t work.

I suppose if a PDF is converted to some other format like JPEG it would lose its clickable links, huh?

Yeah, I think so.

When you read the above thread and all the other issues of Baracka Hussein Abu Amama's Constitutional eligibility issues, including the B.C., which is only a minor part of the NBC status, I have always wondered why/who/when the created "silence"(?) on the matter surfaced???

I always thought is very strange that the NBC issue on the airways went AWOL sometime after midsummer 2008 and wondered WHY!

Every possibly political issue is/was freely discussed on the radio/TV talk shows, but suddenly went underground!!

Even so called "Conservatives" like Coulter and Glenn Book made viciously attacks on we the Constitutionalists for bringing up the questions, made absolutely NO sense. They will mention masturbation, witchcraft, etc., but NOTHING about NBC and that includes Rush who went off the golden microphone one day, without telling he was called into the principals office(?). However I think the answer lies in this excerpts from NewsMax, and here you have it, see for yourself. Remember he also had a "secret" meeting with SCOTUS on January 14(?) 2009 and now Thomas says "EVADING"!!!:

"Obama Hates Fox News

Dear Dick Morris Reader: It's the summer of 2008 and Barack Obama is beginning to slip in the election polls. He blames Fox News for his election worries. He agrees to a secret meeting at New York's posh Waldorf Astoria hotel with the head of Fox News, Roger Ailes and other top honchos of their parent company News Corp. The meeting goes into meltdown mode as a finger wagging Obama furiously vents his anger against Fox and their top conservative host Sean Hannity. Have you heard about this? Probably not, but Newsmax magazine, in a just-released special report "Obama Hates Fox News," reveals how Obama's war on Fox News all began, how it unfolded, and even predicts what will happen in the future."
