(1) it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation;
(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;
(3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and

Rule 11. Signing Pleadings, Motions, and Other Papers; Representations to the Court; Sanctions
(a) Signature.
Every pleading, written motion, and other paper must be signed by at least one attorney of record in the attorney’s name or by a party personally if the party is unrepresented. The paper must state the signer’s address, e-mail address, and telephone number. Unless a rule or statute specifically states otherwise, a pleading need not be verified or accompanied by an affidavit. The court must strike an unsigned paper unless the omission is promptly corrected after being called to the attorney’s or party’s attention.
(b) Representations to the Court.
By presenting to the court a pleading, written motion, or other paper whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating it an attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances:
(1) it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation;
(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;
(3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and
(4) the denials of factual contentions are warranted on the evidence or, if specifically so identified, are reasonably based on belief or a lack of information.
(c) Sanctions.
(1) In General.
If, after notice and a reasonable opportunity to respond, the court determines that Rule 11(b) has been violated, the court may impose an appropriate sanction on any attorney, law firm, or party that violated the rule or is responsible for the violation. Absent exceptional circumstances, a law firm must be held jointly responsible for a violation committed by its partner, associate, or employee.
"This case, if it were allowed to proceed, would deserve mention in one of those books that seek to prove that the law is foolish or that America has too many lawyers with not enough to do. Even in its relatively short life the case has excited the blogosphere and the conspiracy theorists. The right thing to do is to bring it to an early end."
Ruh roh. Sanctions for this attorney are unavoidable. Disbarment isn’t out of the question. Federal courts don’t play games.
I wondered how long it would take for them to use Rule 11, to go after the attorneys as a means of protecting Barry.
Judge Robertson resigned FISA probably to embarrass the Bush administration. A Clinton appointee in 1994.
Roland Freisler smirks from hell.
Is anyone actually surprised?
Hollister should consider signing onto Orly’s lawsuit.
Who vetted? How did they vet? Barry couldn't even use that (fake) short form as proof he was native Hawaiian if he wanted to buy land in Hawaii.
"the primary documents used to show you are of age and a qualified native Hawaiian are:
* A certified copy of Certificate of Birth;
* A certified copy of Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, including testimonies; or
* A certified copy of Certificate of Delayed Birth.

In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."

To prove your native Hawaiian to buy land requires MORE proof than apparently is required to be President of the United States. What a travesty!
Supreme Court is obviously complicit in the take over and collapse of USA. Tar, Feathers, Pitchforks, Rocks, and last resort, use your imagination but this must be stopped.
I’m neither a lawyer nor a judge, but the Judge Robertson Opinion has raised some questions:
From the judge’s Opinion:
“The issue of the Presidents citizenship was raised,
vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by Americas vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obamas two-year-campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court.”
Does that mean that our courts no longer require evidence as produced in discovery? Something as easy to produce as a certified copy of a party’s own birth certificate?
Has any court ever asked the defendant Obama to produce a certified copy of his birth certificate?
Is Judge Robertson saying it’s ok now to vet, blog, text, twitter and otherwise massage information about a presidential candidate to assure s/he meets Constitutinal muster?
........
Further from the Opinion:
“That case was the subject of a scholarly opinion by a
judge who took Mr. Bergs claims seriously [as opposed to Judge Robertson] - and dismissed them.”
I’ve tried to find the scholarly opinion through FindLaw and PACER, and get “IE cannot display the webpage” messages. Does anyone have that scholarly opinion ?
