Urban Dictionary defines a 'birther' as "A person who believes that Barack Obama has controversy and/or fraud surrounding his birth…"
At last count, at least 17 lawsuits had been filed in 17 different states questioning Barack Obama's status as an American citizen and his right to prop his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office.
One of those lawsuits will now get the chance to see the light of day.
Dr. Orly Taitz, attorney for Alan Keyes in Keyes vs. Obama, announced late this evening that a judge has ruled in favor of Mr Keyes' request for a trial to discover whether or not Obama is an American citizen and, as such, entitled to be President of the United States of America.
Two weeks ago, World Net Daily posted a story outlining the difficulties Taitz encountered in attempting to serve the President with a subpoena. Taitz has filed multiple legal actions around the country alleging Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to occupy the Oval Office.
Monday's hearing was on a request by Taitz for a default judgment, since she notified the president of the action weeks ago, and his lawyers failed to respond.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter ruled in favor of Taitz and granted the "motion for reconsideration of order to show cause or in the alternative to certify question for appeal.". A trial date will be set and Taitz "will immediately request access to Obama's birth records and other documentation that could determine his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office."
Bottom line? Whether one is a 'birther' or a 'believer,' this case will definitely be worth watching!
Are you one of Obama’s public relations crew? I don’t believe a word of what you said.
The Keyes v Obama is on PACER.
Thanks

Dr. Orly being interviewed by LA Times re; her good news about hearing today From abc| 07/13/2009 6:28:54 PM PDT read
Obama eligibility case will be heard on merits Please distribute everywhere. Just got off the phone with Orly Taitz, the attorney in Keyes v. Obama. At the hearing today at the Federal Court building in Santa Ana, Judge Carter said the following:
1. There will be a trial.
2. It will be heard on the merits.
3. Nothing will be dismissed on proceedural issues.
4. The trial will be expeditious, and the judge pledged to give case priority.
5. Being a former Marine he realizes the importance of having a Constitutionally qualified Potus/cinc.
6. Judge stated that if Obama isn’t Constitutionally qualifed he needs to leave the White House.
CHeck sign up date and ignor...PLANT
In the case of Republicans, Sarah Palin most recently, the mere existence of multiple complaints is evidence enough that something is wrong.
But then, that's Republicans, as far as those filling the jobs formerly held by journalists are concerned.
Ok, you may kiss your arse good-bye now.
Stuck out like a sore thumb (lol)!
Quick on the draw this morning?
“at this point, I think Biden would be a better President than obama.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I will restrain myself from saying that he couldn’t be any worse only because of all the people who told me that nobody could be any worse than Bush. My motto now is that you can always do worse.
I would bet though that Biden WOULD be better but as we say down South, “That ain’t sayin’ much”.
“..... there will be a trial.... it will be heard on the merits.....”
I want to see the LA Times story when it’s published.
Yes, that was said. But Judge Carter’s comments about wanting to rule “on the merits” was in reference to the dismissal. Not that there will be a trial. He didn’t want to dismiss a case when both parties were right in front of him. So he allowed Orly to properly serve the US Attorney. They now have 60 days to respond.
Thank You.
A bowl of Wheaties will do that to ya. ;)
My pleasure.
