Judge Surrick “Received” the Decision He Issued
In the “never-ending” drama that is known as the 2008 Presidential election, there is an appearance that the decision issued yesterday by the Honorable Judge R. Barclay Surrick in the matter of Berg v. Obama might have been SENT to the judge just a short time BEFORE he released the decision.
A fax copy of the decision from Judge Surrick was faxed to Mr. Berg from the Judge’s Chambers, pages 1-36, beginning at 18:09 October 24, 2008, and that is clearly notated by the receiving fax, starting at page 01/36. Page 36/36 is marked 18:16 October 24, 2008. What is interesting is not at the TOP of the fax pages; it is at the bottom. From Judge Surrick's ruling
From Judge Surrick
At the bottom of each page is a notation from another FAX machine, indicating the date, page number and time. Unlike the pages faxed from Judge Surrick’s fax at 18:09, the “name” of the fax sender is blank, presumably so the sender’s identity could not be seen, and obviously with the sender unaware that the date and time would be stamped on it. The fax began from this mystery fax at 04:55P on October 24, 2008, and ended at 05:11P.
From all appearances, the clerk at Judge Surrick’s office merely took the fax off the machine, the Judge signed it, and it was faxed to Mr. Berg and the other attorneys involved in the case.
Why would a decision from the office of Judge Surrick have “fax date & time” stamp at the BOTTOM of its pages when it is faxed to the Plaintiff and Defendants? And why almost simultaneously were all of the docket links disabled on the case in PACER ( I checked other cases, and they weren’t disabled)?
Is it possible that a former law clerk of Judge Surrick, Christoper B. Seaman, might have wrote the decision? Now an attorney, Mr. Seaman is an attorney at the firm of Sidley, Austin in Chicago. Ironically, this is the same firm that employed Michelle Robinson Obama and Bernardine Dorn (wife of William Ayers), and where Barack Obama met Michelle.

If I had to surmise from the manner in which things have evolved in this election process, I would link it to the Obama campaign and lawyers in Chicago. The time in Chicago is an hour behind Pennsylvania, and taking into account the slight few minutes that two fax machines may be off in their time settings, it could be concluded that at 4:55p CT, a law firm in Chicago began faxing the memorandum of the Judge’s decision to the JUDGE, and then his office began faxing it out immediately.
I am in the process of reviewing the memorandum, but one item that immediately caught my attention in a brief glance was this comment in the footnotes:
Moreover, the Court In Bullock did not limit or in any way invalidate votes that had already been cast; nor did it void the results of the elections that had taken place. Se Ed. at 136- 37, 149 (affirming that court’s permanent injunction of the filing fee law). By contrast, Plaintiff would have us derail the democratic process by invalidating a candidate for whom millions of people voted and who underwent excessive vetting during what was one of the most hotIy contested presidential primary in living memory. Pg 11
Points to Ponder:
(1) Why was the PACER system “links” in the Berg v. Obama docket disabled just MOMENTS before the decision was faxed out? Is it possible that the Judge had actually issued a DIFFERENT ruling, and was FORCED to issue the one that was sent to him?

Check it out... Weird -- and more weird!!!
FYI to all: PACER stands for Public Access to Courts Electronic Records and is a site one can subscribe to for all sorts of information on court cases.
Thanks, I was wondering what that stood for.
That's how the first minimum-wage laws were upheld, IIRC.
I just sent the link to Drudge. I’d recommend you all do the same. If he gets a lot of people sending him the same story, he’ll have to look into it.
We, your bookend, are under Comrade Corzine. We empathize with CA.
It’s gone Viral already... just google it.... there are a lot of people, including Berg who know about it now.
anyway to get the fax numbers off these documents???
Drudge hasn’t even put up the story about this going to the SCOTUS yet.
Some Updates from the JAMES blog.
The law clerk that is now an attorney at the same firm that Michelle worked at is also an Obama contributor according to the donations list, and of course he has a profile on mybarackobama.com so he can comment on the Obama blog. If this is in fact the scenario in this ruling, I see some Illinois Bar disciplinary action, as well as a problem for the Judge.
(2) Does this explain the comments from the Obama camp all through Friday the 24th that ALL Obstacles to the White House had been overcome, and “they now had a clear path.”
I love the way this works...

Philip Berg — Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress Judge Surrick “Received” the Decision
Judge’s orders are often written by the attorney(s) for the party wishing the order to be made, then the judge signs it.
Or, the judge can order one party to write up the order as he/she (the judge) instructed him/her to do, and if the order complies with the judge’s request, it is then signed by the judge.
If this was requested without the knowledge of the other party, there are numerous violations of the code of judicial conduct as well as obstruction of justice.
That seems to me to be a very good point. It might be illuminating to compare, if possible, this decision with other decisions Surrick has made in order to do a “stylographic” analysis. If they’re very different, that would certainly indicate different authors.
Axelrod tied to this mess!
