U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land tossed out on Wednesday a complaint by an Army captain fighting deployment to Iraq by questioning the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency. Land also put attorney Orly Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes and is a leader in the national “birther” movement, on notice by stating that she could face sanctions if she ever again files in his court a similar “frivolous” lawsuit.

This Judge can only pretend or declare that there is no substance in the complaint, and tell us to move along. But many are wondering how one can be declared a "natural born" citizen if one parent was not a citizen of the USA? Or, is it, that we no longer care about our Constitution?

If this country had real journalists they would address any number of issues raised instead of attacking people who dare to question. There were a number of ways to secure a birth certificate in Hawaii in 1961. The primary one is the long form that identified the hospital and attending physician. But if the child was not born in a hospital the applicant could still make a declaration and secure an equivalent to the long form as a Certificate of Live Birth. In this case there might not be a hospital or attending physician. The legal requirements for this avenue to acquire a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth were "loose" at the time.

Taking a look at the long form would clarify whether Mr. Obama was born in a hospital in Hawaii or elsewhere in Hawaii. Of course the possibility exists that a close relative could have secured a Certificate of Live Birth for Obama even though he was born elsewhere. Many people just do not know. They would like to feel assured that all is well and in order in this case.

The real story is the lack of openness by our President in connection with school records, college writings, applications, and sources of funding, not to mention his original certificate of live birth.

Judges, politicians, the state controlled media can all foam and the mouth and demand that these questions go away, but there appears to be substance in the questions and they will not go away, will they?

I disagree with your comment about Obama’s openness. He was open where it counted, telling all that he was born a “dual U.S./British citizen” because his father was a British citizen. A judge is an officer of the court, with a sworn responsibility to address violations of law. Judges should know their Constitution. Only those with no other allegiances, born on our soil, can be president. Allegiance is a legal description of citizenship. By British law (Nationality Act of 1948) he remains a Citizen of the Commonwealth. Regardless of his British citizenship, he, Obama, was not born exclusively a citizen of the U.S., and is not, therefore, natural-born. The judge is ignorant, or a shill, and should, if we remain under the current constitution, be prosecuted for judicial misconduct - ignorance of the law is no defense.

Members of the military are well aware of these suits. They have committed their lives to defend us, and officers, to protect and defend the constitution. A commander in chief who won't answer questions about his eligibility should not be obeyed. Officers have a duty to insure the legitimacy of orders. The birth certificate, since it and other records have been concealed, is one mechanism to force discovery, where the natural-born citizen issue must be resolved. Obama, of course, cannot meet the “citizen parents” requirement.

Corruption is rampant through much of our government. Judgeships have become political patronage rewards. Taitz won't stop because Obama is a figurehead for the corruption, whether called Socialism or Communism, and grew up with that corruption in a city known for its pogroms. We will remember Judge Clay Land. The attempts to find honesty and courage in the legal system have just begun. If they become futile stronger resistance will become necessary, so let's hope there remains an honest judge or two.
