If discovery is ordered we still have to vault the pleading of Presidential Executive Privilege as a defence to discovery. That will take some time to work through.
Kudos to Orly!!!
“This simply means that he is going to hear this case and order discovery immediately.”
Who comes up with this crap? That is not what the order means.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Another positive step taken.
KEYES v OBAMA-76-MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER by Judge David O. Carter: REQUEST FOR LEAVE OF COURT ^
Looks like an anonymous poster on a different forum.
Resign? Never. Impeached? By whom? The liberal 'Rat Congress? HA!
What is the Executive Privilege argument? His birth certificate and other personal documentation from before he was pres—ent have no bearing on his private consultation with members of the executive branch or his ability to perform his executive functions. Is this argument made in the Gov’t’s papers?
Thanks
But I expect it will be.
Presidential executive privilege has long been the panacea of leftist presidents, and they always try to expand its effect.
I know that the birth certificate is not an executive document, but they will try to make it so, and a liberal judge just might listen, as they have in other cases, including those of Bill Clinton.
I think that in the case of Clinton, he had some success in lower courts with the executive privilege claims, but ultimately lost all of them. Still, it served it’s strategic purpose, which was to delay, delay, delay and to drive up the costs so that his minions could go on Sunday talk shows and say: this is all old news and its costing the American people 10’s of millions of dollars about a private sexual matter.
So, I agree with you that if they can make the argument with any plausibility at all, they will, even if it is totally without merit.
Recall that Clinton had the chutzpah to raise the Soldiers & Sailors Relief Act:

an act that was designed to protect members of our armed forces from suits filed while they were overseas.
Like greater apes, Democrats (e.g. Begala, `Serpenthead’, Rahm, Soetero, Pelosi, Reid and all the other usual suspects) will throw their own skat against the wall if they think it would stick.
Orly Taitz better watch her back, as well as Judge Carter, who I bet will either get a call or receive a visitor who will tell him to back off if he knows what’s good for him.
"Hello, Ms. Taitz? I have the irrefutable proof you're look for. Yes, meet me at Ft. Marcy Park...."
“This simply means that he is going to hear this case and order discovery immediately.” Um, no, that is not what this means. He may or may not hear this case on the merits. What this means is, Judge Carter has granted Taitz the opportunity to submit surreply not to exceed ten pages. That is all this means. He may even grant the defendants the opportunity to surreply when Orly’s surreply is in, but that is not yet clear either.
This means nothing. The judge is letting her respond to the reply brief filed by the moving party, Obama's lawyers. It could be that the judge wants to make sure she can't complain that she didn't get to make all her arguments when he slams her.
I see you made the point already.
