With the latest dismissal of Cook v Good, the batting average has improved to 0.000…

See BIRTHER CASE LIST (PDF).

Chart has been updated to add Stumpo v. Granholm, No. 08-140-MM (Mich. Dist. Ct. (30th) Mar. 31, 2009), appeal dismissed, No. 291681, slip copy (Mich. App. Ct. Jun. 3, 2009), recons. denied, slip copy (Oct. 1, 2009); (and to make a few other adjustments/additions/corrections).

Score is now 0-60 (counting cases – score much higher if count all rulings).

Cook v Good – Appeal – Brief for Appellant December 9, 2009

Posted by Exploring the Natural Born Citizen Clause in Appeal, Cook v Good, Orly Taitz.
13 comments

Orly filed a brief after the Court had closed the case due to failure to file the motion

12/08/2009 E-BriefTendered: Appellant by Orly Taitz Stefan Frederick Cook -No-

Explanation: No means that the motion is not pending

When I have some time I will point out some of the salient points in her ‘filing’, needless to say, it is incredibly poorly argued, especially since it is an appeal and should focus on the facts of the ruling. For instance, the so-called ‘retaliation’ by the military is irrelevant to the TRO.

No indictment for President Obama from Monroe County grand jury

Despite a brief media frenzy, indictments sought against President Obama, a grand jury foreman and an assistant district attorney were not returned by the Monroe County grand jury.

The World According to Sally Hill December 8, 2009

Salon

That is not entirely true. Dept. of Hawaii refuses to verify the COLB that Team Obama posted and some irregularities have come to light regarding the COLB. Just how many birth records do you have? I just have 1 – apparently Obama has more than 1 – doesn’t that seem suspect to you? Apparently Obama has amended, or attempted to amend his BC…his birth DATE no less – why?

The facts are that Obama has only one known Hawaiian COLB and there is NO evidence that he attempted to amend his BC, including his birth date.

You can hawk WKA all you want, but in my opinion, the finding supports the birthers, not Obama. US Citizen is NOT the same thing as a Natural Born Citizen.

Of course, anyone knows that US citizen includes naturalized citizens in addition to natural born citizens. Duhhh. And WKA is guiding precedent here.

My main problem with Obama are his actions – which appear to be based on his parents. Well after his 23rd birthday, as a Senator, Obama traveled to Kenya (on the US tax dollar) to campaign for a paternal relative who believes in Sharia Law.

Again, a myth, based on partial truths and insinuations.

I called the TN District Attorney this AM and the nice lady (receptionist/secretary) who answered the phone stated that “the TN Grand Jury is not going forward with any of Fitzpatrick’s “criminal complaints.”

That appears to be the end of this.

The “facts” according to Michael December 8, 2009

Posted by Exploring the Natural Born Citizen Clause in Uncategorized.
13 comments

Let’s explore some of Michael’s myths, it’s been a slow newsday…

1. Hawaiian Health Dept issues COLBS to people not necessarily born in Hawaii or USA ………. would you like me to show you the statute that proves this?

Two problems: 1. the COLB would correctly reflect the location of birth to be outside of Hawaii 2. this statute came into law in 1982. Oh the statute is HRS 338 17-8 note the annotation at the end [L 1982, c 182, §1]. And as Okubo explained, “If you were born in Bali, for example,” Okubo explained, “you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu.

I made a helpful table

Certificate Period How to Identify
Birth Certificate 1955?-present
Certificate of Foreign Birth 1982-present City of Birth will be foreign
Delayed Certificate of Birth 1911-present Date of Registration will be up to one year after birth date. Only for children born in Hawaii
Certificate of Hawaiian Birth 1911-1972 Date of Registration will be more than one year after birth date
Foreign Born Hawaiian Adoption 1981- Place of birth (true or probable country of birth)

Leo Donofrio and Pidgeon – Another Desperate Move December 7, 2009

Posted by Exploring the Natural Born Citizen Clause in Uncategorized.
31 comments

Neil Cavuto welcomed former Chrysler dealer James Anderer to his show on Fox Business News Daily to talk about a case that has been filed by a group of dealers who lost their businesses in the Washington D.C. District Court. Lead Plaintiff Anderer mentioned a team of legal experts while describing the case to Cavuto, and an anonymous source has named Leo Donofrio and Steve Pidgeon as having been retained by a group of Chrysler dealers who lost their franchise in the Chrysler bankruptcy sale. They have been retained to bring two actions:

1. A motion to reconsider the Court’s approval of the dealer rejections.
2. A quo warranto in the D.C. District Court pertaining to Obama and his administration.

1. 8 months late
2. 11 months late

Well, that will be 0 and 61

Updated with an analysis from a Friend of Politijab
Orly and other birthers have contended that the auto dealers have the ever-elusive STANDING to challenge Obama’s eligibility because they were individually harmed.

Of course, that “theory” is … well … asinine.

First, the bankruptcy court – not Obama – is “responsible” for approving the plan.

    The Second Circuit rejected an appeal of the bankruptcy court decision in August. At least part of that decision went up to SCOTUS – but today’s orders (PDF) do not indicate how the petition fared.

Second, it is impossible to prove that Obama’s birth had anything whatsoever to do with the alleged injury. Whatever role Obama may have played in the bankruptcy negotiations had nothing to do with his birth. I.e., plaintiffs can’t prove that (a) “but for” Obama’s Kenyan/Indonesian/Equatorial New Guinea birth, Chrysler would not have gone into bankruptcy; or that (b “but for” Obama’s alleged Kenyan (or Indonesian, or Equatorial New Guinean) birth, he would not have become president or ; or that (b) but for his birth, he would not have participated in the political process surrounding the Chrysler bankruptcy.

Note: Another American Grand Jury presentment denied. This time in Tennessee. Somehow the reports on this failure were slow to trickle through, but the diligent work of the Friends of Politijab unearthed this beauty. The Court has also provided useful information that can be used in filings in other locales.

11/06/2009 1 ORDER: The Court is in receipt of certain documents identified as “Grand Jury Presentments” filed by Mack H. Ellis. The documents purport to represent grand jury presentments for fraud, treason and election fraud against President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic National Convention. Leave to file this presentment is DENIED. Further, though the papers presented to the Clerk of Court shall not be filed, they shall be assigned a miscellaneous number along with this Order for the Court’s record.. Signed by Chief Judge Todd J. Campbell on 11/6/09. (# 1 [RECAP] Attachment-Affidavit of Process-Serve and # 2 Attachment-Grand Jury Presentments)(as) (copy mailed to Mack Ellis) Modified on 11/6/2009 (af). (Entered: 11/06/2009)

The law according to Michael December 6, 2009

Posted by Exploring the Natural Born Citizen Clause in Uncategorized.
40 comments

Michael has claimed that HRS 338-13 states that a copy of a part of the content is not the same as the original, which is of course self evident. The COLB contains only the relevant information needed and is an official and certified document and thus, according to the Federal Rules of Evidence, admissible in Court. Since the document is also prima facie legal evidence, and since the information clearly shows President Obama to be born in Hawaii, on US soil, the claim that President Obama knows or knew that he was not a natural born (born on US soil) citizen, has to be rejected as.

The claim that President Obama has somehow blocked access to his documents is also based on a failure to understand the laws. For instance, his COLB is protected by Hawaiian Law and is the only document Hawaii provides now. His school records are protected by Federal and State laws which prevent unauthorized access. The hospital data is protected by State and Federal law as well. And finally, his Senatorial records are available under FOIA, although his personal Senate records are not available.

Thus any claims that President Obama has sealed his records is flawed.

Hope this clarifies Michael…

And can you tell us why you accuse the President of knowing that he is not a natural born citizen when his birth records, which he did make available, show him born in Hawaii and when the Hawaiian DOH has confirmed his birth place and natural born status?

Orly – Angry Bob December 5, 2009

Posted by Exploring the Natural Born Citizen Clause in Just Plain Weird, Keyes v Obama, Orly Taitz.
comments closed

On Orly’s blog, which still appears to be doing random redirects, we find a posting by someone named “Bob” or “Mike”

No bias grounds ?  So hiring as your law clerk a person who works for the firm that defends Obama in all of these cases, in your opinion, does not present even the hint of bias or even unethical behavior on your part ?  Unbelievable.

I understand “BoB”’s anger but the facts show that only in a few cases President Obama had Perkins-Coie represent him. So I am not sure what “Bob” means by “in all of these cases”. Furthermore, Perkins Coie is a large lawfirm and finally, the Clerk, although starting in October, was likely hired well before the case came before Judge Carter. And finally, unless the clerk involved was actually helping Carter with this case, there is no bias or unethical behavior on Judge Carter’s part.  And if Orly believed it was improper, why did she fail to file a motion for Judge Carter to recuse himself? Even Orly may not have felt that there was a foundation for such and in fact, she does not even appear to be blaming the Judge as much as the DOJ.

Note: Ahhh.. So unexpected…

12/04/2009 101 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER Denying Plaintiffs’ Amended Motion for Reconsideration by Judge David O. Carter 90 . (See Order for details) (db) (Entered: 12/04/2009)

After reviewing the moving and opposing papers, the Court finds no factual, legal, or bias grounds upon which to grant the motion for reconsideration. Counsel largely repeats the same arguments made in her briefing and oral argument on the Motion to Dismiss, which is prohibited. To the extent that she does present new argument, it is without merit and does not meet the standard for reconsideration. The Court’s ruling that it lacks jurisdiction, and that Plaintiffs have failed to state aclaim on their remaining causes of action, stands.

Remember Orly’s silly assertions? Okay, okay, I realize the foolishness on my part of not being more specific

This piece of information provided another piece to the puzzle, as numerous articles have reported that some 500 Columbia university students from the same graduation year were questioned and didn’t remember Mr. Obama as a student at Columbia, however at the same time there was an article published in Seattle, Washington, regarding one, Roman Obama, an exchange student from Equatorial Guinea (same origin listed in Mr. Obama’s immigration records) studying in the university of Patrice Lumumba in Moscow. (this university was known as a basis of heavy Communist indoctrination and rumored to be the hunting ground of communist recruiting by the KGB). This university is very similar to the university of Karl Marx, attended by Mr. Obama’s cousin, current prime minister of Kenya Raela Odinga.

Fitzpatrick has also sought indictments against Grand Jury Foreman Gary Pettway and Assistant District Attorney Jim Stutts, saying they are guilty of obstruction of justice in his attempts to indict the president.

Pettway declined to comment on the charges against him, saying he would wait to see if he was actually indicted, but said he believes the Obama case is over and has been for a while as you cannot indict someone in a county they’ve never set foot in.

Movie Review – Soldiers of Conscience December 3, 2009

Posted by Exploring the Natural Born Citizen Clause in American Patriots.

I just watched a fascinating documentary called “Soldiers of Conscience” well worth watching.

When is it right to kill? In the midst of war, is it right to refuse?

The Documentary references the work of researchers who found that only  1 in 4 soldiers would  fire upon their enemy. See more below

PBS has a good description of the documentary

Soldiers of Conscience is a dramatic window on the dilemma of individual us soldiers in the current Iraq war — when their finger is on the trigger and another human being is in their gunsight. Made with cooperation of the us Army and narrated by Peter Coyote, the film profiles eight American soldiers, including four who decide not to kill, and become conscientious objectors and four who believe in their duty to kill if necessary. The film reveals all of them wrestling with the morality of killing in war, not as a philosophical problem, but as soldiers experience it — a split-second decision in combat that can never be forgotten or undone.
