So, why is it taking so long? What is the judge waiting for? (Berg vs Obama)

By NoobRep

Today's Update by WestCoastGal

Unless the Obama Campaign applies for a withdrawal of admission and shows GOOD CAUSE, as of today, October 21, 2008, the Obama Campaign has legally admitted that Barack Hussein Obama is ineligible to hold the office of Presidency. Full coverage of this court proceeding can be read here: http://www.americasright.com/

Below is today's legal admission!

Berg: Due to Procedure, Obama and DNC Admit all Allegations

According to Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party upon whom requests for admissions have been served must respond, within 30 days, or else the matters in the requests will be automatically deemed conclusively admitted for purposes of the pending action.

On September 15, as part of his federal lawsuit contending that the Illinois senator is ineligible, pursuant to the U.S. Constitution, to serve as president of the United States, Philadelphia attorney Philip Berg served Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee with just such a request. Soon thereafter, on October 6, Barack Obama and the DNC acknowledged service in their motion for protective order, filed in an attempt to persuade the court to stay discovery. The Federal Rules require that a response to a request for admissions be served within the 30-day time limit, and Barack Obama and the DNC have not done so.

Therefore, this morning, amidst news reports that Barack Obama will be suspending his campaign for a few days so he can fly to Hawaii to visit his grandmother, who has suddenly fallen ill, Philip Berg will file two motions in district court in Philadelphia:

A motion requesting an immediate order deeming his request for admissions served upon Barack Obama and the DNC on September 15 admitted by default, and

A motion requesting an expedited ruling and/or hearing on Berg’s motion deeming the request for admissions served upon Obama and the DNC admitted.

Berg contends that the failure to respond and serve the response within the time limit is “damning,” and made two appearances overnight on Rollye James’ talk radio program, the second one coming shortly after midnight, during which he disclosed the meat of today’s filings and the legal and political ramifications of the defendants’ failure to respond.

“They did not file answers or objections or anything else to the request for admissions we served upon them on September 15,” Berg said to me shortly before midnight, noting that Obama and the DNC did in fact acknowledge service of the admission in their motion for protective order. “They knew the admissions were due. They knew they must object or answer specifically in 30 days. Here, they did nothing.”

Typically, requests can be used to ascertain three types of information: (1) the veracity of facts, (2) the authenticity of documents, or (3) the “application of law to fact.” Pretty much anything not privileged is fair game, and while the idea behind such a request is to obtain information, requests for admissions of facts and of the genuine nature of documents are generally not designed as a part of discovery, per se, but rather more of a mechanism used to whittle down proof later in the proceedings.

Unless permitted by the court or allowed pursuant to a written agreement between the parties, the party served with the request must serve a response within 30 days. How serious is a failure to respond? This, from PreTrial, by Thomas A. Mauet:

The automatic provision of Rule 36 makes it a formidable weapon because inertia or inattentiveness can have an automatic, and usually devastating, consequence. Hence, there is one cardinal rule for practice under this provision: Make sure you respond and serve the response within the 30-day period.

Given the “usually devastating” consequence of failure to respond in time to a request for admissions such as those served upon Obama and the DNC on September 15, just what were some of the admissions that Berg asserts Barack Obama and the DNC have, at least procedurally, admitted to?

Admit you were born in Kenya.
Admit you are a Kenya “natural born” citizen.
Admit your foreign birth was registered in the State of Hawaii.
Admit your father, Barrack Hussein Obama, Sr., admitted Paternity of you.
Admit your mother gave birth to you in Mombosa, Kenya.
Admit your mother’s maiden name is Stanley Ann Dunham a/k/a Ann Dunham.
Admit the COLB [Certification of Live Birth] posted on the website “Fightthesmears.com” is a forgery.
Admit you were adopted by a Foreign Citizen.
Admit you were adopted by Lolo Soetoro, M.A. a citizen of Indonesia.
Admit you were not born in Hawaii.
Admit you are a citizen of Indonesia.
Admit you never took the “Oath of Allegiance” to regain your U.S. Citizenship status.
Admit you are not a “natural born” United States citizen. Admit your senior campaign staff is aware you are not a “natural born” United States Citizen.
Admit the United States Constitution does not allow for a Person to hold the office of President of the United States unless that person is a “natural born” United States citizen.
Admit you are ineligible pursuant to the United States Constitution to serve as President and/or Vice President of the United States.

There are, however, several options for Barack Obama and the DNC at this point. The first, and most obvious, is the argument that pursuant to Rule 26(f), a request for admission may only be served after the conference for the purpose of planning discovery detailed under that rule, and therefore the 30-day time limit on Berg’s request has not yet begun. Here, though, Berg could feasibly argue either that the request for admissions is not a true discovery mechanism and is actually meant to streamline the future need for discovery, or that the defendants’ acknowledged service of the request in their October 6 motion for protective order and failed, at that time, to specifically object or answer. The second option for the defense, still easily foreseen, is that Obama and the DNC could file a motion to withdraw admissions which have been deemed admitted.

In order to file a motion to withdraw admissions deemed admitted by default, a party must show

(1) “good cause” regarding why there was no response and
(2) that such a motion to withdraw would not cause undue prejudice to the plaintiff. Here, Berg could contend that Obama and the DNC failed to meet those standards, that they cannot show “good cause” for failing to answer or object, and that withdrawing the admissions would cause undue prejudice.

Still, for Berg, the issue is clear. He simply wanted answers or objections, he said, and instead received nothing. Rule 36, according to Berg, is fairly cut-and-dry.

“It all comes down to the fact that there’s nothing from the other side,” Berg said. “The admissions are there. By not filing the answers or objections, the defense has admitted everything. He admits he was born in Kenya. He admits he was adopted in Indonesia. He admits that the documentation posted online is a phony. And he admits that he is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president of the United States.”

>>>Obama’s team didn’t get an extension of time to respond? WTF? Are they so arrogant they thought the judge would dismiss the suit and O would be off the hook? We already know he’s off the chain.

I *think* that was covered on this thread:

And for sure, if he isn’t eligible to be president, he can’t be a senator either.

To be a US Senator, one must be a US citizen for 9(?) years.

To be POTUS one must be a "natural born US citizen."

I'm bettin' NOBODY CHECKED when he ran for the US Senate.

Berg is certifiable, and so is anyone who thinks this suit is going anywhere. Obama’s laywers filed a motion for protective order, asking to delay discovery pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss. (Both motions, I should add, are well-founded.) He is not required to respond to discovery until the court rules on the motion for protective order. The RFAs certainly have not and will not be deemed admitted.

I can’t believe they wouldn’t file a motion to extend the time to answer, a motion to strike as not timely or, at the minimum,provide written objections. I agree there may indeed be a perjury issue lurking.

Perhaps Obama is going to convince his grandmother as well as the MSM that there is an alzheimers situation; hence her (if I have the right grandmother) admission that O was born in Kenya.

I saw a printed ballot yesterday (Galveston Co TX), and Cynthia McKenney’s name is on the list of people whom are running as ‘write-in’ candidates.

Unbelievable.

Obama’s Kenyan grandmother (father’s mother) is the one who says he was born in Kenya and that she was present. The sick grandmother in Hawaii is white and is his mother’s mother.

Here is the DNC’s Motion from October 20, 2008 to dismiss the suit.

Now Berg has to issue his motion.

“BO would simply refuse to step aside and his cult would fight any challenge to his candidacy, no matter what the Constitution says. As in the case of Clintoon, nothing gets in the way of their lust for power.
John McCain took an oath that he would support the Constitution and defend the USA from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Now is the time to stand up and be faithful to that oath.”

On all points, you and I are on the same page.

As I have said elsewhere, in our lifetime we have seen a president lie to each of the citizens of our nation, and then lie to a judge while under oath and screw a young woman out of her day in court, and walk!

Berg cites in post #32 section 10 that states Civil Procedure, Rule 36(a) mandates that the defense respond to the admission request regardless of the motion to stay discovery since that hasn’t been ruled on yet.

" If today is the deadline, doesn’t he have until 23:59:59 to comply? " ....

It's kind of difficult for him to comply if he is in Hawaii dealing with another law suit on his hands,,, unless he flies back to Pa or his legal team does it.... any lawyer can tell us ? does he have to appear in person or his legal team ?
If we hear news reports that he is flying back to Pa.. then, we know what is up.

KENYAN BORN?
Please support freedom of Speech which Barack Obama says he stands for. If you don't agree with my posting then use your freedom to rebuttal instead of being immature and flagging. Lets have a real and true dialog.

www.usafricaonline.com/news.html

You see lots of information on the net. This group States that our President to be was from Kenya. Are they telling us the truth? Does anybody know the story on this article.

" Maybe he’s hoping for riots to break out " ....

Maybe this is what Joe Biden was referring to as a international crises... and needs his ( Obama supporters to help with the riots ) ..... maybe Joe's time line was off 6 months.

Thanks, Calpernia. That link was somewhat helpful. I still have this justifiable unease. Andy Martin, Phillip Berg and the other plaintiffs have standing issues, don’t they?

Thank you for a refreshing and concise answer. Everything that I’ve read about Berg points to him as being around the bend. Even though I could hope that this case might go somewhere, having factual details is paramount.

He is not flying to Hawaii until Thursday....I guess he could appear. However, his attorneys can file what is needed without him having to appear.
