Exclusive: Obama Attorney Threatens Distinguished Veteran on Obama Birth Certificate Issue: Why?

FamilySecurityMatters.org ^ | April 15, 2009 | Margaret Calhoun Hemenway

[Red Steel]

After the flippant dismissal by U.S. Circuit Court Judge James Robertson of the lawsuit to attempt to determine whether Barack Obama is constitutionally eligible to serve as President, D.C. attorney John Hemenway received a letter from a lawyer representing Barack Obama and Joe Biden, his Vice President.  (Hemenway had enjoined the suit launched by Hillary Clinton's ally, Philip Berg, the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania and attorney Lawrence Joyce of Arizona, in an attempt to force President Obama to disclose his birth records, currently being protected against public scrutiny by the Obama legal team at a reported cost of as much as one million dollars.)  The entire letter, written by Obama attorney Robert F. Bauer, states the following:

 

“I represent President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden. I write to request that, in light of the District Court’s March 24, 2009 Rule 11 order in Hollister v. Soetoro, No. 08-2254, you withdraw the appeal filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, No. 09-5080. For the reasons stated in Judge Robertson’s order, the suit is frivolous and should not be pursued.

               

Should you decline to withdraw this frivolous appeal, please be informed that we intend to pursue sanctions, including costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees, pursuant to federal Rule Appellate Procedure 38 and D.C. Circuit Rule 38.”

 

Mr. Hemenway's response to the letter was a promise to "write and protest and attack those against the demand that Obama show proof of his birth, and I will continue to do anything I can think of doing that might perhaps deter or injure those who are opposed to “transparency” and “openness” and honesty in governmental operations—all those good and vague promises that Obama threw out in speeches read from his teleprompter."

 

Mr. Hemenway added, "The lawyer for Obama, Robert Bauer, has abused his privileges as an attorney, because I can regard his premature (and totally inaccurate) threats to seek some sanction against me as a threat to keep me from performing my duty to my client.  It won’t work and he will soon see that it has not worked to intimidate me."  In his opinion, "many judges and other officials are simply crassly violating their oaths of office.  Since I had been in the Department of State and served in Moscow for two years, I am mindful of an expression used by the Russians: “Nada dakazat’ kulak!”  (You must show them your fist!)"

  

Hemenway also pledged:

 

“…to appeal the slap taken at me (the so-called “reprimand”) by Judge James Robertson who tried unsuccessfully to label our efforts as “frivolous” but who did not have the guts to sanction me under Rule 11.  (This would have given me—and others engaged in this important battle —standing in the Court of Appeals.)  I will do my duty to Colonel Hollister, who technically is a client, even though I never agreed initially to follow the case in the Court of Appeals.  The military, as Colonel Hollister's interest demonstrates, is quite concerned with the basic issue of ‘legal’ and ‘illegal’ orders originating from a ‘legitimate’ or ‘illegitimate’ commander-in-chief.  Recall that Judge Robertson never did admit attorneys Berg or Joyce to practice in his court, never had a hearing and never examined evidence because he didn't seek any.  The Judge gave the impression that his decision was predicated solely on ‘blogging and twittering’.“

 

For the many others who have contacted him and expressed interest in this cause, Hemenway invoked Churchill's admonition:  “If a matter of principle is involved in a course of action, then never give up—never – never – never.”  The most important part of that quote is the “matter of principle.”  It was not just a display of the stubborn nature of Churchill.  Following that advice, we can see that here, we have a grave matter of principle. 

 

If Obama can break such a basic, fundamental rule of the Constitution, then what is to keep him from ignoring or suspending other basic rights, such as the Writ of Habeas Corpus

? 

 

Last, Hemenway points out:  “Mr. Bauer claims his father was an attorney in Vienna who opposed the union with Germany (the so-called “Anschluss”) and promoted anti-Nazi political movements while he was in Austria.   He says his father left Austria in 1940.  Very few people left greater Germany after 1939, when the war started.  In any event, if Bauer's background includes such a family history of opposition to anti-rule-of-law monsters, how does he explain his support for this Chicago-styled conspiracy to violate a basic requirement of the United States Constitution?”

[moodyskeptic]

Wow, this new president’s tactics and cabinet are like a Fellini circus film, with macabre scary music and darkness, jumpy and insane. Are there any people left who believe he’s honest and bipartisan (who are not also brain dead)?

[jarofants]

Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.

[jarofants]

Theres nothing to see hear move on.

[Always Right]

Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.

Yeah, who gives a crap if the Constitution has meaning anymore....

[Prole]

Meanwhile, the slimebags over at DU are wondering where jarofants is.

[GloriaJane]

"Theres nothing to see hear move on."

Do you also work for obama? Or can those of us who are interested linger a while?

[ZULU]

WHERE can we send dollars to support this guy?

Originally I thought this was a madcap caper and that we should just let Obama slowly stew in his own broth for the next four years. But his recent actions demonstrate the importance of blocking him and his administration NOW. He is FAR too dangerous and radical.

If Obama was indeed an American citizen, he wouldn't be spending money on high priced attorneys like this scum. I am beginning to wonder if those individuals he presents as his parents were his parents AT ALL! BOTH of them are DEAD!! HOW CONVENIENT!! So are his alleged GRANDPARENTS!!!!

I think his election may have been the greatest hoax of the millennium.

[The Working Man]

“Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.”

Well, actually you are wrong there. I care and millions of other Americans care. Quite frankly I am afraid of seeing where this Administration is going.

My only real hope now is that the excesses that are happening now and the more I seeing coming in the future will stand as a Beacon to the rest of the country that this is truly not a path we want to go down any further.

2010 is coming and with it the Mid-term elections. What happens then will be instructive to us all.

[tessalu]

Obama-Soetoro must really have a bad, bad birth certificate to try to hide it like he has.

[punchamullah]

So, Mr Busy, WTF are you doing here?

[ZULU]

I think Obama was a guy that the Saudis and Soros targetted early on as an appropriate vehicle to take over the White House and the legitimacy of his birth connections were irrelevant to them. We KNOW what the Constitution means to them anyway.

[sten]

at least 500,000 people care enough to sign a petition demanding public proof.

btw, the election is over. you can head back to dailykos now, newbie

[happygrl]

Totalitarian mindset on display.

Unfortunately, the totalitarian left will use the courts as the noose to hang us, just a Franken is doing, and others.

When I think of how Nixon has been reviled, I seethe.

There was a man who was cheated out of the presidency, but didn't challenge it, because of what it would do to the country.

This all changed in the election of 2000, with Al Gore and the Democrats' playbook.

I dispise them so much.

And of course, that is how 0bama got this far; dirty politics against his rivals, starting with Democratic oppostion in the primaries for the State Senate in Illinois, then against Ryan in the 2006 Senate Race.

Between ACORN and the endless litigation in the courts over election results, I am truly pessimistic about free and fair elections ever taking place again at the National level.

[healy61]

Surely, you are not serious. The more Obama prevents showing proof, the more I am convinced he is hiding his ineligibility. Yes, plenty of people care.

[happygrl]

Things that make you go hmmmmm....

Troll

[tet68]

RE: Nothing to see here, move along.

A sarcastic phrase from the Clinton years.

IE: Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes.

Don’t take it personally.

[BushCountry]

Newbies... Ya, gotta love em’

[Paige]

Yes, millions of us care. YOU may not care but MILLIONS of us do.

[usmcobra]

Theres nothing to see hear move on.

Here we have a classic example of left wing newspeakee.

"Theres" note the absence of proper grammer and punctuation, this comes from hours on end of exposure to the DU, where rules such as grammer and punctuation are frown upon as limitations on free speech.

"nothing to see hear" Here we have an example of totalitarian mind control at it's most basic level "nothing to see (or) hear" obviously an attempt at subliminal thought control.

"move on" Not move along but instead Move On as in

Dare I say troll?

[Past Your Eyes]

Well, “your” beating “you’re” drum in the wrong place, bub. “Move on” is right.

[rudman]

The Saudis? The Saudis are with us. How is Obama a Saudi pick? The Bush and Saud family are close and have been for more than 20 years. They stood with us through both Iraq wars. They are governmentally very conservative - and are the only muslim country with its head on straight. Where is your hatred of Saudis coming from?

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

The Saudis are with us.

Speak for yourself...

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

” we intend to pursue sanctions, including costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees”

Might be very interesting to see what that figure is! That might wake more people up when they see just how much moolah Our Dear Leader has spent fighting this action.

[Canedawg]

rudman is another Nov 2008 signup.

He’s obviously a POS

[Bluebird Singing]

BINGO

He must be stopped in his destruction of the U.S.

[Bluebird Singing]

“Yes, it is true,” she replied. “This is not some idle talk. He is already born, and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of presidents. He is what you call ‘Ivy League.’ You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a chocolate baby! And he’s going to be president.”

Which reminds me - his mimicking the Lord with his quoting the Sermon on the Mount wuz quite offensive.

[SvenMagnussen]

My goodness. Did Hemenway just call Bob Bauer’s father a traitor to his country?

Bauer’s dad was anti-Nazi until the Nazi’s invaded and occupied Austria. Bauer’s dad expatriated himself from an occupied country while other anti-Nazi proponents were being imprisoned and executed.

How did your father get out, Bob?

[happygrl]

“Which reminds me - his mimicking the Lord with his quoting the Sermon on the Mount wuz quite offensive.”

My comments yesterday:

The pathetic aspect of this, is that the point of the parable is SPIRITUAL, not MATERIAL.
THE ROCK IS JESUS, not an economic strategy.

Yes. He is slimiest of slime. Uh-oh: I’m guess I’m documented right wing extremist.

[happygrl]

Uh-oh: I’m guess I’m documented right wing extremist.

Did you see the 9-11 attack coming?

Did you think something like that was possible?

Do you think that targeting conservatives, for pick up, interrogation and harrassment is impossible ?

Things that make you go hmmmm.....

[Vaduz]

Remove beer goggles and look around.

[Bluebird Singing]

“Do you think that targeting conservatives, for pick up, interrogation and harrassment is impossible ?”

unfortunately, yes.

The stuff with this goon is frightening.

I see him preventing elections in 2010 @ this speed with some catastrophe now.

[HattonFarmer]

You, sir or madam, are incorrect. You are either willfully ignorant or a troll. The upstate returns are not in yet but ‘troll’ is leading by a large margin.

[missnry]

Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.

[Beckwith]

Can you spell dickhead?

[Fresh Wind]

Gosh, wouldn’t it be cheaper for King Obama to pay the 10 bucks for a genuine long form birth certificate from the state of Hawaii rather than paying these high-buck lawyers to threaten citizens?

[Rainwave]

Exactly right, They are more and more like the the Keystone cops meet Salvador Dali meet Che Guevara. I’ve been talking to some Obama people. They are still deeply in Love with this guy and NOTHING will change it. They (Team O)have all the bases covered. There is some great puppet master/s out there. The Obama team is Either silent on issues, or on the offensive, nipping things in the bud. Like they are seeing and doing things ahead of time.

Janet Napolitano said returning war vets are going to be “Bitter, right wing, White...(where does THAT come from?) extremists”. (See today’s Drudge) The Government is ready for unrest by the chain link camps you’ve seen in the desserts and the alerting of the national guard to be ready for unrest this summer. It seems they WANT something to happen, so they can declare marshal law and gather even more power.

As noble and huge the turn out the tea parties are going to be, The Dems are laughing it of. My friends and family who are Obamabots say it is a ploy by FOX news to make Obama look bad. That’s it. Period. Just bitter Republicans who are sore losers. Unfortunately FOX seems to be the only network that has even mentioned the Tea parties.

As gloomy as it all seems, and how entrenched the Democrats are moving their agenda and trying to cripple the Republicans...I have a strange feeling it is all going to backfire on them. I can feel it, something is in the air. Sorry for the long post...but I’m pissed at the gall and chutzpa and disregard for the common man these people are showing. It’s an Obamanation...

[penelopesire]

Obama brownshirt PING!!

[algernonpj]

“Your beating a dead horse. No one cares.”

.
Those who care about the rule of law and the constitution care.

Common sense (which I guess is not so common) says Obama is hiding something big and bad that would render him ineligible to run for president (i.e. not a natural born citizen).

Why else would Barack/Barry Obama/Dunham/Soetoro have TEAMS of lawyers running interference on any request for his birth certificate, school records, medical records, travel records, Selective Service records, name changes, etc.

[Uncle Chip]

Theres nothing to see hear move on.

Is that you, Judge Robertson??? twittering and blogging again instead of reading court briefs and learning how to spell, eh???

[penelopesire]

Over 1700 views of this thread so far! Remember...the truth always rises to the surface eventually. The time is coming and the Obama brownshirts are running scared.

[patriot08]

This thread sure brought out the Obots, didn’t it?
They are wasting their time here- or maybe they’re just gluttons for punishment.

[algernonpj]

“...The Saudis are with us...They are governmentally very conservative - and are the only muslim country with its head on straight....Where is your hatred of Saudis coming from?”

.
The Saudis sell us oil and use the money to finance madrassas and Islamic temples world wide that recruit / train Islamic terrorists and promote Sharia.

I wouldn’t consider living under Sharia having ‘its head on straight’.

The Saudis are ‘with us’ only in as much as our money and military are useful to them.

[bert]

The left wing nuts like you that bring us the society destroying TV networks and Hollywood movies, that hate all religion especially the chafing blanket of Christianity. that promote lazy union teachers who don’t teach but indoctrinate, that relish redistributing my hard earned income are who the Saudi’s dislike

[algernonpj]

“The left wing nuts like you...”

.
I suspect you have addressed your rant to the wrong individual. I have been called many names in my life, but never a leftist.

[bert]

I was puttin the shoe on the other foot. You disparaged all Saudis much the same as I disparaged all Americans for the radical views of a few.

[ZULU]

The Saudis head a state controlled by the Wahhbaist Muslims.

The Wahhabists are the most RADICAL of extreme Muslim religious groups. They bankroll anti-American, anti-Semitic Madrassehs and mosques all over the world and staff them with Wahhabist Clerics.

I don’ think they were with us in both Iraqi Wars. WE were with THEM except WE did most of the dying and ALL of the paying. It was to THEIR best interests to keep Iran out of Iraq and we accomplished that - SO FAR.

As to calling this Wahhabist Shiekdom “conservative”, I take umbrage with that. The people on this forum are Conservative. The Wahhabist Saudis are religious fanatics who imposed Sharia Law on their own people, try to impose it in other countries with their petrodollars, don’t even allow people of other Muslim sects to establish Mosques and Madrassehs in the Kingdom, and when we were saving THEIR sorry butts in Desert Storm, they wouldn’t even allow Amercan troops to have bibles there or wear stars of David or crosses. Their schools continue to preach anti-Semitic anti-Israeli garabage.

As for the Bush clan connection with the Saudis, the less said the better. The Bushes are globalists and they had a far too comfortable connection with these fiends. I remember Bush II walking pinky in pinky with one of these msicreants.

And I don’t doubt for one minute that Saudi money wasn’t laundered into Obama’s political campaign.
