Requests For Admissions can be pretty deadly, and the failure to respond on time really bad. Where I practice anyway.

For the sake of the country, they’ll have to let it slide this time. Because it would be racism and it would cause rioting throughout the land. So, this one time, its ok. Thats all folks.

This just seems too good to be true. Can Obama somehow claim that his ill Grandma is a reason to not respond. When I say claim, I mean use his legal team to claim the ill grandma is holding up his response.

Do the rules apply to democrats where you practice? Because I’ve heard that the rules don’t apply to democrats pretty much across the board.

You know as an attorney I find this situation fairly odd. Like you, I agree that not answering admissions can be fairly deadly. You usually find that sort of thing with pro se litigants who don't know the strength of that rule. When an attorney does it, not to mention a heard of attorneys, it makes me question why.

It's true they could argue under FRCP 26(J) that the Admissions are premature, but why? Why not just deny the admissions? It prevents a messy entanglement later, and avoids the possibility the judge will hang you to them.

Could it be that they are trying to avoid committing perjury? If he denies these admissions and they are later shown to be true it could be messy. This is a very very curious development in my book.

I don't see the judge ruling in favor of Berg on such an important issue for failure to answer the Admissions, but it sure begs the question of why they failed to answer on such an important issue.

In laymans terms, what does today mean ? and can Obama's legal team do anything in court about it today ?...
I am not a lawyer... but, failing to respond to Phil Berg's law suite, legally, Obama and his legal team has admitted that he is ineligible to run for President of the USA...

[Pinetop]

Obama’s team didn’t get an extension of time to respond? WTF? Are they so arrogant they thought the judge would dismiss the suit and O would be off the hook? We already know he’s off the chain.

Okay, I’m not a lawyer, so let me pose this scenario to you:

Obama’s lawyers cannot provide good cause why the process should be delayed nor can they cannot simply show a birth certificate. Therefore, Berg basically wins by default.

So, what happens now? Can Obama appeal? If so, can Berg request an emergency hearing? In the meantime does the judge’s ruling that Berg wins by default stand or will it be stayed by the higher court?

I guess that the last question will be determined by the politics of the appellate court judge.

How long can a process like this with the back and forth counter filings and pleas go on?
