In Re: Judge Dismissing BO Birth Certificate Case
Thought it might be of interest.

---------------------------------------------------

While doing a little of my own "Fact-Checking", I ran across some interesting linkage between
U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick and one Barack H. Obama.

As we all know, Barack and Michelle worked at Sidley Austin law when they met.

Also working with Michelle at Sidley at the same time was one Bernardine Dohrn, beloved wife of Bill Ayers.

Now it turns out a fellow named Christopher B. Seaman is the former law clerk for U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick.

Christopher B. Seaman also works for a firm named Sidley Austin.

Gosh. It's a small world after all.

It’s interesting, but my layman opinion its not a big deal.

There are more people on this board who think the Berg case is invalid because he is a “truther”. I wonder if 9-11 never happened would they have a reason to believe in the Berg case?....but I digress.

This cause needs a champion who can get on tv and draw the attention it needs. Even Drudge has punted as he reports a piss poor worded press statement of its demise and not one time reported on the case before.

This is an eligibility issue. obama has failed to address it and therefore not eligible to be POTUS. Why do so many get lost with the simplicity of this case?

Ummm...I think this is stretching it a bit. But I would concede that Judge Surrick, as a Clinton appointee and as a Democrat, is compromised.

We Washington State Republicans saw the same thing when the Dems committed massive election fraud in King County four years ago (2004). The judge assigned to the case was a former Democrat party activist and Clinton appointee. He laughed the Republicans out of his courtroom.

Christopher B. Seaman

Biography
Christopher B. Seaman is an associate in Sidley Austin LLP’s Intellectual Property Litigation practice group. Before joining Sidley, he was a law clerk to Judge R. Barclay Surrick, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, where he worked on a variety of civil and criminal litigation. In law school, Christopher was an Executive Editor of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and received the Edwin R. Keedy Law Review Award for most significant contribution to the journal. Christopher was also a Legal Writing Instructor at Penn Law and a semifinalist in the school’s moot court competition.

http://mailman.lls.edu/pipermail/election-law/2002-June/001549.html

This is old- 2002 ? But shows posible interest in Election law.

Christopher B Seaman (Sidley Austin LLp/Attorney), (Zip code: 60614) $250 to FRIENDS OF TAMMY DUCKWORTH on 10/20/06

He co-authored a book Peyton McCrary, Christopher Seaman, & Richard Valelly, The End of Preclearance as We Knew It: How the Supreme Court Transformed Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, 11 Mich. J. Race & L. 275 (Spring 2006).

Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 requires certain jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination to obtain “preclearance” of proposed electoral changes from the United States Department of Justice or a three-judge panel in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This provision, which is set to expire in August 2007, has successfully reduced racial and ethnic discrimination in voting. The United States Supreme Court determined in a 5–4 decision, Reno v. Bossier Parish School Board, 528 U.S. 230 (2000), that Section 5’s prohibition on the enforcement of electoral changes which have a discriminatory purpose does not apply to electoral changes that were not intended to “retrogress,” or make worse, the position of minority voters. This interpretation upset a long-standing consensus among executive, legislative, and judicial actors that Section 5 prohibited all changes enacted with an unconstitutional discriminatory purpose, not just those which made minority voters worse off. This Article explains how the Bossier majority dramatically transformed Section 5 and demonstrates, through an empirical analysis of the Justice Department’s Section 5 objection letters, how it significantly weakened the statute’s ability to protect minority voting rights. It concludes by arguing that Congress should amend Section 5 in 2007 to supercede the Bossier decision.

This appears to be what pre-clearance is all about - http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/judiciary/hju24283.000/hju24283_0f.htm

SO it is facsinatng that a gentleman that worked in the offices of the judge who dismissed the lawsuit also works now at the same law frm as Mr. Obama and Michelle used to.ANd o authored a book about redistricting etc to extend or protect minority vong rights.

But he seems to work on patents now.

A "truther" is a term for the fringe few who believe that 9-11 was an inside job by our government.

I don't think it was an inside job but since the FBI didn't follow up on bonified reports and evidence prior to the event the government is responsible for letting it happen.

But as a L.A. Sheriffs Department friend of mine once told me (prior to 9/11 by at least a decade, “The FBI couldn't follow a menstruating elephant in a snow bank”.

If you've ever watch a building being set up for an implosion, you would know that it takes weeks and hundreds of workers just to bring down a casino in Vegas, yet they want you to believe that thousands of workers were able to sneak around like ninja's and plant hundreds of thousands of lbs of explosives, cut structural supports in the right places with torches, etc. etc. etc. in multiple buildings and then not a single one of them ever thought that killing our own citizens was wrong or be seen by a single camera, person or security guard in some of the most restricted buildings in NY?

I may be Immuminati by nature, but even I saw, WTF! take off the tin-foil and let your brain breathe. ;oP

I was refering to the tips furnished to the FBI about the rag heads flight training plus other information supplied to them long before 9/11.

‘Not close enough to make the right people care.’

Seems these days, even if they were joined at the hip...the right people don’t seem to care or maybe they’re just afraid. And, if that’s the case, should the rest of us be terrified....????

You missed the FACT that when the World Trade towers were built, the explosives and break-away skeleton were incorporated into the DESIGN. That way THEY could make the towers come down whenever the time was RIGHT.

They KNEW they would need to start an unjust war SOMEDAY, it was a perfect plan JUST WAITING TO BE IMPLEMENTED. Oh, and the MAFIA was INVOLVED. THIS IS TRUE!

Everyone knows FIRE CANNOT MELT STEEL. Thus the break-away SKELETON.

LOL! sadly some id10t from Abovetopsecret is going to link to your post tonight and say "i told you so!"

That reminds me of the idea floated by the tin-foilers that said now Boeing, et al. are building explosive material into the planes now that can be triggered by remote control.

I need a shower just for typing that. ;oP

Do you ever feel like we are lifting the rock on a huge matrix that has been growing for years, so slowly that no one noticed ? Everything and everyone on the wrong side is interconnected- helping each oher out, gaming the system ?

Indeed it is a plot. I would like to see someone connect all the dots from Frank Marshall Davis till now. Somebody was “grooming” this guy for a long long time. He is a pawn. Who is pulling the strings?
