The explanation may be quite different.

The decision came out on a Saturday, with the Judge's secretary probably not at work. She may have finished it at home and faxed it from her home to the Judge.

>>>Is it possible that a former law clerk of Judge Surrick, Christoper B. Seaman, might have wrote the decision?

Obama worked at this firm and Andy Martin reported on it.

http://contrariancommentary.blogspot.com/2008/09/andy-martin-exposes-barack-obamas-lies.html

Excerpt:

Obama's law degree thus appears to have been financed through the encouragement of persons who had been violent revolutionaries and remain unrepentant to this day, the same unconventional way the purchase of Obama's Chicago mansion was party financed by an Iraqi billionaire.

Why did Obama get hired as a "summer associate" in 1989 at the law firm which had hired Ayers' wife, and where Ayers' father was a prominent friend of the managing partner at Sidley & Austin? The answer is obvious. Ayers was grooming Obama as his future "front."

Where did Obama get his first and only legal job after Harvard? At a law firm where Tony Rezko was a prominent client and where name partner Judson Miner was a law school classmate of Bernadine Dohrn-Ayers. Yes, the pieces are starting to come together.

Was Obama telling ABC the truth when he said met the Ayers' at a coffee klatch at the Ayers home in 1995? Ayers had already been working with Obama for seven years; Ayers had appointed Obama to head a $50 million foundation. Did Ayers appoint a stranger? Or a front man? The answer is obvious.

Excerpt:

1989 Tom Ayers and William Ayers get Obama a summer job at Sidley & Austin (where he meets Michelle Obama); Ayers' wife Bernadine Dohrn also worked at Sidley at about the same time as Barack and Michelle.

I can’t believe that the judge did not make some sort of up or down ruling. Most liberal judges love to make decisions from the bench.

In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg’s allegations of harm were “too vague and too attenuated” to confer standing on him or any other voters.

Surrick ruled that Berg’s attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were “frivolous and not worthy of discussion.”

The judge also said the harm Berg alleged did “not constitute an injury in fact” and Berg’s arguments to the contrary “ventured into the unreasonable.”

I was thinking “Faxing a Fax”?? Haven’t they heard of attaching a doc to an email? BUT, email would leave a record so perhaps Faxing is a no discovery option when the sender immediately shreds the original.

Grounds for an appeal and see how this one is explained?? If they don’t do cross shredding, might be some interesting trash from the Chicago law office.

Philip J. Berg is Appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court as Obama is "NOT" qualified to be President of the United States Lawsuit Against Obama Dismissed from Philadelphia Federal Court



(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/25/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that he is immediately appealing the dismissal of his case to the United States Supreme Court. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.

Berg said, "I am totally disappointed by Judge Surrick's decision and, for all citizens of the United States, I am immediately appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution. If I don't have standing, if you don't have standing, if your neighbor doesn't have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States - the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world - then who does?

So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned.

According to Judge Surrick, we the people have no right to police the eligibility requirements under the U.S. Constitution.

What happened to ‘...Government of the people, by the people, for the people,...’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863.

We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the Office of the Presidency of the United States,” Berg said.

Our website obamacrimes.com now has 71.8 + million hits. We are urging all to spread the word of our website – and forward to your local newspapers and radio and TV stations.

Berg again stressed his position regarding the urgency of this case as, “we” the people, are heading to a “Constitutional Crisis” if this case is not resolved forthwith.

There is no fax header at the bottom of these PDF pages. The quality is very poor though.

We need to flood both the media and congress. I have created a new petition to demand the media look into Obama’s eligibility for the Presidency. This petition sends letters to various media outlets. Please sign and pass it around.

Then we have POTUS Biden with Pelosi waiting in the wings.

Then POTUS Biden will receive instructions to nominate a certain Hillary Rodham Clinton for VPOTUS and does so. She will sail through the confirmation process. Three months later, POTUS Biden will succumb to a mysterious, virulent, and fatal follicle infection, elevating the devastated Clinton to POTUS.

From the decision:

Surrick ruled that Berg lacked standing to bring the case, saying any harm from an allegedly ineligible candidate was "too vague and its effects too attenuated to confer standing on any and all voters."

Really? So now any claim that the Constitution is being violated can be dismissed because the harm of the violation is too vague? As if just violating the Constitution is not enough. Now you have to prove to some judge that the harm hurts you enough to warrant the court enforcing the Constitution.

Lost your right to free speech? Ahh, you keeping your mouth shut doesn't seem that harmful to Judge Surrick. DISMISSED!

Gov't closed down your church and told you to worship in a mosque? Ahh, Jesus or Allah, the difference seems vague to Judge Surrick. DISMISSED!

Gov't confiscated your gun? Ahh, the likelihood that you'll need to defend yourself seems vague to Judge Surrick. Sorry, DISMISSED!

Wow, we are in for a wild ride.

Do you have a link to a readable version of the decision? The one i just downloaded is painful to read. Looks like it came off an old mimeograph machine.
