(Application for Admission Pro Hac Vice

U.S.D.C. Western District of Texas

Submitted August 28, 2009)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Western district of Texas

CPT Connie Rhodes MD,
Plaintiff,

v.

Dr ROBERT GATES, UNITED
STATES SECRETARY OF DEFENSE,
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, de facto
PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES,
Defendants.

APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

Plaintiff Captain Dr. Connie Rhodes has received what appear to be facially valid orders mobilizing her to active duty with the United States Army in Iraq on September 5th, 2009 (Exhibit A). Captain Rhodes is both a US army officer and a medical doctor, a flight surgeon. On May 15th of this year 501 brigade out of Fort Campbell, KY, currently stationed in Iraq, has requested a support of medical personal in Iraq. Two days ago, August the 23rd, an order was given through the chain of command via e-mail for Captain Rhodes to arrive in San Antonio TX, Fort Sam Houston for Tactical Combat Medical Care Course (TCMC) to be held from August 30th till September 4t and next day, on September the 5th to arrive in Fort Benning in Columbus GA for immediate deployment to Iraq for a period of one year and twelve days from September 5th, 2009 until September 17th 2010. Captain Dr. Connie Rhodes wants to serve her country and fulfill her tour of duty, however as a US army officer and a medical doctor she has severe reservations regarding legitimacy of Barack Obama as the Commander in Chief and repercussions of her service under his orders, particularly in light of mounting evidence of him having allegiance to other Nations and citizenship of Kenya, Indonesia and Great Britain.

OK, so make it a developmental item.

Revoking military orders should not be done lightly, and if to many military orders are revoked, it will be seen in the same light as Obama spending $ 2.5 million for his legal defense fund to keep all these cases from going to court.
What are they going to do if thousands of military personal file court cases against Obama ? ... they just can't keep revoking orders and it not look " FISHY " ....

" Questioning command authority is not an allowable affirmative defense in any UA case in which I'm familiar. "

If the authority is legitimate, then, yes, your argument is spot on, but, if the ruling authority is illegitimate, then, any orders, laws signed, people who that authority has appointed is illegal.
The US Constitution is what it is.
No matter how many lawyers claim how many years of experience they say they have can never change the fact what the US Constitution says.
Actually, it's the " PEOPLE " who have the rightful authority in this country lest the President, Congress, State governments forget.
If anyone who has " Standing " it's the true ruling authority of this country " THE PEOPLE "
I don't see how they can claim that any US citizen who pays taxes don't have " Standing " .... it boggles the mind.

So ? are you so dogmatic about what the MSM and the reports of what they told us that the authorities in Hawaii said that they looked at it and said that the ( COPY ) of his COLB is legit ? ....
You said, that all Obama needs is a sworn affidavit of those in Hawaii who have supposedly seen it to provide the court, but, that has not happen .. YET ??
So ? if you and others, and Obama believe it's legit ? then ?
why ohh why spend $ 2.5 million to squash any plaintiffs arguments to bring this to court for discovery ? ....
Wouldn't him just showing the original birth certificate be sufficient ? ... after all ? the US Constitution requires it.
Shouldn't this be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt ? .. because many folks still have huge doubts whether he is eligible to hold the office of the President of the United States.

Why the $ 2.5 million to suppress it from ever being brought to court ?
It it's legitimate, the people have the right to know.

Since the Congressman from Samoa bought up the paper trail in Indonesia and Hussein put a gag order on the Kenyan tribe and sealed all records there, in Indonesia, and the US then it's not likely.

Sure, blame Obama for what the Birthers can't accomplish on their own.

They will have to make an example of one of these here shortly.

As stated previously, I’m convinced that orders in an ongoing war originate in Congress.

Discovery would include:All pertinent Records On Obama Subpoenas on the DNC..Subpoenas on Pelosi..Subpoenas on Reid

And if this goes to trial you're *certain* that the Presiding Officer would allow any of this? If so I'd suggest that you're pretty naive.

so, do you think a Court Martial will be covened?

I have no way of knowing.But I'd wager the clothes on my back that if it *does* take place the Captain will lose.

Not that I believe that she'd *deserve* to lose,mind you.

Does US law determine British citizenship? The answer is equally no. Therefore, his admitted British citizenship AT birth is most relavent.

In Britain.

It's a simple principle: Citizenship status, including "natural-born" status, is a question of US law. Full stop. The laws of other countries are irrelevant. We don't ask whether the Republic of Panama considered John McCain to be a Panamanian citizen, and we don't give other countries the power to make someone ineligible to be our president by the stroke of a pen.

Has Apuzzo YET shown he has done due diligence of the British Citizenship laws as it pertains to a marriage that was Void Ab Initio???

I doubt Orly has as she can’t even seem to understand that she has to follow court rules when filing a case.

Heck, she can’t even understand she has to sign documents.

Perhaps my two tours in Vietnam and my son's two tours with the 101st in Iraq tend to make me less than objective [ and would be a solid basis for an Article 41 preemptory challenge or a challenge for cause if I was a member of the court].

IMO, her “alleged” refusal for deployment is a ruse.

Duckworth working to win

By Will Hoover
Advertiser Staff Writer

Congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth works the phones at her campaign headquarters in Lombard, Ill. Since she announced her candidacy last month, the 1985 McKinley High School graduate has shown herself willing to work hard and speak her mind.

Tammy Duckworth, shown at a news conference at the Helen M. Plum Memorial Library in Lombard, Ill., is focused on her new goal: winning the 6th District U.S. House seat in Illinois as a Democrat. Democrats are targeting the seat, long held by Republican Harry Hyde.

Illinois Army National Guard Maj. L. Tammy Duckworth sat in a wheelchair at the paper-strewn kitchen table in her suburban Chicago home doing what she seems to do better than most mortals: focusing totally on the task at hand.

She worked the phones for hours Wednesday as part of her effort to get herself elected to Congress — reaching out to dozens of mayors, union officials and everyday voters.

Somehow, she’s able to stay focused and find humor simultaneously. She has a knack for instantly putting people at ease with what some call her disability — the fact that she lost both her legs in Iraq 418 days before.

Pausing between calls, Duckworth noted that her high-tech artificial legs were in the closet “charging up.” What she called her “left stump” was propped up on the table.

“That’s my way of kicking back,” she said with an infectious laugh. “I know, the politically correct term is residual limb. But that’s just way too many syllables, and I figure it’s mine. I can call it what I want.”

Duckworth’s Iraq experience already is the stuff of American military lore.

On Nov. 12, 2004, her entire focus was on not losing consciousness while trying to safely land a Black Hawk helicopter. It had been blasted by a rocket-propelled grenade that exploded where Duckworth was seated. The maneuver was an impossible feat with two missing legs, a shattered right arm, and a multitude of other serious injuries.

Another pilot landed the helicopter. But Duckworth, not realizing how seriously she’d been hurt, kept her attention on the mission, passing out only when the Black Hawk was on the ground. Initially presumed dead, Duckworth remained unconscious for the next 10 days.

Her focus for the better part of 2005 included staying alive, undergoing intense therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and painstakingly learning to walk again on artificial legs.

She is on record as saying she’s determined to fly helicopters again.

Duckworth knows that political pundits are focused on her. As a Democratic candidate in a historically Republican district trying to win the House seat being vacated by retiring Republican icon Henry Hyde, her 6th District race is becoming a Democratic Party priority and a talking point among political heavyweights.

“Very rarely have I met a more impressive person than Tammy Duckworth,” said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in an article the day before she announced her candidacy Dec. 18. “She just has the poise and exudes the type of character that I think would make her an astounding public servant.”

Duckworth is happy to point out that she and Hawai’i-raised Punahou graduate Obama have “a kama’aina connection.”

Both were born outside the country — Obama in Indonesia, Duckworth in Thailand — and graduated from high school in Honolulu — Punahou and McKinley, respectively.

“Will Hoover-enemy of the state!”

"Isn't it also true that even though the TRO was denied, the basic case goes forward? "

In this instance, injunctive relief (TRO) was all that was sought.

"Funny though it doesn't work quite that way when it's the state that has "suspicions", but not proof. "

Even if this were a criminal case, there's no where near "probable cause" about Obama's birth to issue a search warrant. LEO have to affirm under oath that a crime was committed, or "facts" support a conclusion that a crime was committed.

Although it can very a little from circuit to circuit, generally the court requires that in order for a preliminary TRO to be issued..."(1) a substantial likelihood of success on the merits,". The bench ruled pretty convincingly why that and several other criteria for issuance didn't even come close to being met.
