Obama to appear at hearing; attorney Orly Taitz says it will be '100 times bigger than Watergate'
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer ^ | 1-21-12 | Chuck Williams

A Georgia judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court in Atlanta Thursday for a hearing on a complaint that says Obama isn't a natural-born citizen and can't be president.

Orly Taitz, the California attorney who brought the legal challenge to Obama's name on the March Georgia presidential primary ballot, says this is what she has been working for over the last three years.

"This will be 100 times bigger than Watergate," she said Saturday morning, referring to the scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon in 1974. "There are high ranking judges and federal officials who are involved in this cover up. The ramifications of this trial will be enormous."

Taitz said she expects the president's legal team to fight his appearance in the Georgia court.

"But he's in a catch-22," she said. "If he is appealing this decision, then he looks guilty. The whole nation understands this man is a fraud."

Taitz has led the "Birther" movement that insists Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen. She is also familiar to Georgia courts.

Things are going nicely along.....drip-drop by drip-drop....we must be patient. Little victories here and there are beginning to appear. Little cracks are beginning to open.

Seems clearly what's happening here!

Remember Churchill's words:"Never, never....,etc."!!

If you fill enough old wine in the Wine Skin, it will deteriote and burst wide open. He will never "disappear" at the ballot boxes!!!

This falls in the realm of what if.

What if THE 1 fail to produce the more important items that relates to birth, parental heritage/nationality, and birth location? What if THE 1 does produce some but not all of the rest of the items on the laundry list the judge issued? How will the judge rule? Is this an all or nothing deal? If THE 1 produces some but not all of requested items on the list, will that be enou to keep THE 1 off the Georgia ballot?

BHO has stated in his own writings that his biological father was Kenyan. Even though he is a citizen, he cannot be “natural born”, and therefore he is unqualified to serve as President.

Minor v. Happersett

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.” Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168."

Justia.com didn't scrub that case off their servers by accident, nor was it done for frivolous reasons.

Sorry to burst your bubble...but no they won't. Hate to be a realist but it won't work that way...just like all those who sat here and wrote 10-12 years ago that history would not be kind to Bill Clinton.

The only history that is not being kind to Bill Clinton is FR online history because lefties write the history by and large. To many people here, and its sad that the world is like this I admit, believe that most people think like they do. Well...they don't. Most of America do NOT think for themselves...they don't read FR. They are mindless drones and they do not know NOW nor will they EVER know the names Taitz and Lakin. The leftist writers of American history and the MSM will see to it.

If you think differently you live in a FR bubble. I have a military friend in my unit...a self described moderate...middle of the road independent...who I got into a very loud argument with over the media. He sees absolutely NO bias in the MSM at ALL. None whatsoever. To him...the are all straight shooters...not liberals giving preferential treatment to libs...and no amount of evidence would convince him otherwise. He is a smart guy...but that is what is out there. And that is why Taitz and Lakin will only be considered Patriots to people who visit sites like FR...but will be footnotes to history otherwise.

Sad but true.

If he’s a no-show, can they make a summary judgement and keep him off the ballot (Primary and General)?

Speaking of justice, Holder has got to go.

Of course you say that primarily because of FAST AND FURIOUS. Anyone with an IQ even approaching room temperature knows it was Obama pushing F&F, not Holder.

Both Holder and Obama need to have long sentences. And if it were up to me they'd be tried for treason with the goal of the death penalty for both of them. Treason like this will not stop until the hangings start.

If he doesn’t appear, which he won’t, what will happen? Be held in contempt? And then wht? Will he be led away in handcuffs an be led to jail? Like John Wayne would say, “That’ll be the day”.

I agree, his appearance will never happen. The whole nation will not see this guy as a fraud. If the media does not report his required appointment in court was not kept by him, 90 percent of the nation will never know that he had a court date in the first place.

No, it won't. Nixon was a Republican.

Exactly.

We already had a Democrat insert a cigar into an intern in the White House, lie to the cameras about it, lie to a jury about it and walk away unscathed, making millions giving speeches.

I can say this much, it isn’t Orly’s case that gives Obummer the runs, its Hatfield’s. Oh yes.... There is more to come before Thursday. Bet on it. Some of it gives me tremendous hope!

Can you give a brief summary of the Hatfield case?

You ask a great question

If he’s a no-show, can they make a summary judgement and keep him off the ballot (Primary and General)?

Trump may have triggered a trap. If Obama or Hawaii is force to come out with the original, it better match the released digital COLB to a tee. Location of letters and info better match. If the released digital COLB was altered, Obama owns that one because HE released it. If another version is released, there is going to be a legal fire storm.
Remember, Hawaii claims it exists but it is sealed, the Gov of Hawaii then says they cannot find it, then Obama releases a digital copy that is suppose to be a scan of the original. Digital copy indicate alterations that should not exist if it is a one time scan of an original. All this legal fighting over the simple release of a BC that everyday citizens would spend 15 bucks or less to get for their own children in a heartbeat.

I believe the “official” story is that appearing would take away from his presidential duties-—you know-—like playing golf and fundraising.
