Exclusive: Fined and Sanctioned for Seeking Truth about Obama's Eligibility?

John D. Hemenway, Esq., filed yesterday, Monday, March 16th, in U.S. District Court, his mandated reply by court order in the ongoing lawsuit to determine Barack Hussein Obama's (aka Barry Soetoro) eligibility to serve as President of the United States. The Judge, James Robertson, a Clinton appointee, ordered the response to his dismissal of the lawsuit, and threat to impose sanctions on Mr. Hemenway, to be submitted within a scant 11 days.

Judge Robertson pooh-poohed the lawsuit, initiated by former Sen. Hillary Clinton's political ally, Philip Berg (a former Deputy Attorney General in the State of Pennsylvania), implying that this issue had been resolved by "Twittering and blogging" and invoking "conspiracy theorists." Perhaps this Judge is not mindful that because of the modern-day phenomenon of fraudulent e-mails, a small bevy of organizations that offer "fact-checking" services have cropped up on the Internet in an attempt to thwart rumors and propaganda before they spread far and wide – and that some of those Internet sites purporting to be King Solomons of "truth or fiction" have also become partisan tools for defending the indefensible-- i.e. Mr. Obama's hiding of any and all records which would prove the legitimacy of his right to occupy the nation's highest office. These deceptive websites have therefore become co-conspirators in disseminating shoddy research and/or disinformation aired by Obama's campaign and camp followers.

"Hiding behind websites, the Privacy Act, and threatening to punish and sanction those who seek the truth is only stoking the controversy"

I think the judge may have given this attorney a huge opening. If the judge is saying that the attorney brought a frivolous lawsuit and is threatening sanctions, the very existence of such a threat may just possibly give the attorney standing to subpoena Obama’s records.

Far more likely than that very remote possibility, though, is that the demand for sanctions will be dropped so that the matter is no longer a “live” issue.

That's my prediction - I would be surprised if sanctions are imposed. If they are, then the judge has done the movement to unseal Obama’s records a huge favor.

Is this is a first? An issue doesn’t need a court date or credibility because it’s been settled by “twittering and blogging”?

Can we put that in lawbooks now?

I never realized how truly stupid someone could be and still make judge.

Just the fact that Obama refuses to release the vault copy of his birth certificate makes it obvious that he’s hiding something.

[The Brush]

If everyone was as upset about Obama refusing to produce that vault copy of his BC as they are about bonuses for AG executives, perhaps justice would be served.
They're willing to do all they can to try to find a loophole in contracts requiring bonuses, but they have no desire to enforce a Constitutional requirement that the POTUS prove he is eligible to our president.
I'm wondering how long it will be before Democrats start demanding that vault copy to get him out of office.

You have to realize that leftists like this judge don’t care what kind of damage they do to the system processes of justice when they seek to implement a desired outcome.

[sten]

if you state that sources on the internet are valid to resolve the issue... then you must also accept other sources that should the issue to be completely unresolved.

meanwhile, whether or not something is on the internet is not grounds for removing ones right to a day in court.

this judge, like all the rest, are doing what they can to avoid the case being heard. because... if it’s heard... then 0bama’s crew would be forced to provide the documents.

hasn’t anyone filed these charges in a conservative jurisdiction? could these charges, by being filed in liberal areas, be a way to keep the question from getting answered?

Twitter, Snopes are now the benchmark for laws, not the Constitution

“I never realized how truly stupid someone could be and still make judge.”

It’s the intoxication of power.

I notice that the author of the piece has the same last name as the subject of the piece.

This whole question of eligibility is an issue that should be resolved. Unfortunately, it has been siezed upon by crackpots like Philip Berg that make it all too easy for King Zero's supporters to dismiss it out of hand.

[workerbee]

What I don’t understand is why Team BamBam won’t just produce documents. Any documents. How hard can it be in this day and age to create fake transcripts or even birth certificates, if in fact the real ones are threatening?

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

“How hard can it be in this day and age to create fake transcripts or even birth certificates, if in fact the real ones are threatening?”

They already tried that, and got burned! While it is indeed easy to create a fake document these days, it's also not difficult to detect a fake with current technology.

They may be very well “negotiating” with authorities in Hawaii to release a state produced version that will pass scrutiny.

[curiosity]

No. Fined and sanctioned for wasting the court's time with a frivolous lawsuit.

If only judges did this sort of thing more often.

[Red Steel]

You may have hit on something.

[Darwin Fish]

Very good point.
