A lawyer who has fought government attorneys in courthouses across the nation over the issue of President Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the White House now wants the dispute moved to the nation's capital, since that's where government lawyers have said there would be proper jurisdiction.
Orly Taitz is asking the California judge who earlier dismissed her clients' claims on jurisdictional issues, noting that the proper venue would be Washington, to simply move the case there.
"During the October 5 motion hearing pursuant to the motion to dismiss due to lack of jurisdiction, the moving parties, the assistant U.S. attorneys David DeJutte and Roger West have argued that they believe that the proper jurisdiction for this case is the District of Columbia," Taitz argues in a new court filing before Judge David Carter.
"On October 29 this case was dismissed for want of jurisdiction only and was never heard on the merits, as this court noted in the above order that the proper jurisdiction is the District of Columbia court," she wrote.
Taitz told WND today that there could be no opposition from the U.S. attorneys since they had argued for the jurisdiction in Washington, D.C., and the case then could be heard on its merits.
WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Some of the lawsuits question whether Obama was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country,

Uh, something rather than nothing, such as yourself, well except for all the nit picking you do here.
Ping to Orly’s latest head-scratching legal misadventure.
It would simply amaze me if he could find a Judge in the DC Court system that would take on such a case.
Uh, no, she's actually doing nothing in this instance.
As others have pointed out, she's asking for something in this instance that can't legally be done. She's simply wasting her time and everyone else’s. There are a number of other stupid and hopeless things she could be doing that might at least theoretically conform to procedure.
Yup: Doesnt make sense does it?
It’s really not about the birth certificate, the fact remains his mother was too young to pass citizenship directly to BHO. Unless his BC shows another (older) mother or an American father it doesn’t mean squat.
We should be filing lawsuits against every Secretary of State or Lt. Gov. for conspiracy to commit election fraud and the members of the electoral college who voted for this Marxist Muslim.
Not a good course of action, IMHO.
All the US Attorney General has to do is tell her “No backsies.”
Thanks, Drew68.
Ping to an Orly Taitz whack-a-mole thread. The adventure continues in 2010.
Mr. Praline: ‘E’s not pinin’! ‘E’s passed on! This case is no more! it has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e
rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ‘im to the perch ‘e’d be pushing up the daisies! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig! ‘E’s kicked the bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-CASE!!
Maybe Orly will accept a slug instead.
If it talks.

There was a lawsuit in Indiana (Ankeny et al. v. Mitch Daniels, the Governor of Indiana) which attempted to sue for putting Obama on the ballot and for allowing Democratic Electors to vote for him. Ankeny lost the suit and on appeal the Court of Appeals of the state of Indiana ruled that Obama qualifies as a natural born citizen.
The following excerpt is from the Indiana Court’s decision: “Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States [] natural-born citizens.”15

By the way, Obama’s long form, vault copy birth certificate can be subpoenaed by any District Attorney or state Attorney General in the nation. Its just that none have taken that step.
That may be true but only if he was born overseas.
What proof did the court have that said BHO was eligible other than third-party hearsay? His book “Dreams of My Father” is increansingly becoming a work of fiction.
Besides, Wong v. Ark was decided before the Nationality Act of 1952 (repealed 1986)
GO TAITZ GO
You da girl................
A deluded lunatic perhaps.. but no dummy?
You’re wasting your time here. Go back to DU.
What I want to know is how a birth certificate case got through the court system and to the appellate level without a motion for discovery for Obama’s original Birth Certificate?
This is an Obamabat thread. It has attracted the whole bevy of Obamabats.
WTH is an Obamabat?
And a whole squad of ignorant n00bs as well.
