Obama Eligibility Case May Have Found Judge Not Willing To Punt


The case of President Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as President rolls on. While most of the cases have been essentially thrown out over vacuous claims such as lack of jurisdiction (even though the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over “all Cases, in Law and Equity arising under [the] Constitution” (Article III, Section 2), and the eligibility requirements are definitely “under” the Constitution being described in it, to claims that American citizens have no standing before the court to make sure that the Constitution is upheld. The argument has also been made by states that they have no authority to check the eligibility of candidates even though several times in the past candidates have had their eligibility checked only to find out that they were not eligible and then removed from the ballot.

I have repeatedly said that as dumb as your typical liberal Democrat is I would be seriously impressed by their stupidity if they were dumb enough to actually run a Constitutionally ineligible candidate for President. I still maintain that the only reason why the actual long form birth certificate of Obama, which would settle this matter, is under lock and key is because it contains something that he really doesn’t want people to know. This could be the true identity of his actual father which could prove to make him a liar several times over with accounts in his memoirs if such do not match up. But hey, the American public has proven time and again that they tolerate liars in public office as long as their handouts are preserved.

Anyway, a judge has actually finally ruled that eligibility is a serious issue to be adjudicated. U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Schneider apparently has given notice that the case before him filed on behalf of several plaintiffs will go ahead as soon as attorneys are in place.

From WorldNetDaily:

“Plaintiffs’ complaint raises significant issues necessitating that the named defendants engage competent counsel to represent their interests. Given the high ranking positions of the defendants, the decision as to who will represent them in this case is not simple and straightforward,” the judge said.

But as soon as attorneys are lined up, “the case will proceed expeditiously,” he said.

If the case proceeds, it would make discovery commence where evidence, such as the birth certificate, would actually have to be turned over for examination.

Of course there is a route for Obama’s lawyers to go if they want to. They could just ignore the case and allow it to go the way of the plaintiffs and then file an appeal. I am no lawyer but this seems like a legitimate legal tactic and was somewhat recently done with regards to the case of the Black Panthers and their little voter intimidation scheme of the last election. The lawyers for the group simply refused to answer court papers on the case and they were found guilty in absentia (I think that is the legal term). However even though the government essentially won the case (or was on the verge of winning the case) Eric Holder’s justice department simply dropped the charges. Thus, after essentially being found guilty by default they were then let loose to intimidate again.

Could a similar tactic then be tried here where the Obama lawyers just simply let the ruling go against them and they then appeal to a get a judge more friendly to the case that would then dismiss the charges? I’m just thinking like a liberal here. It’s hard because I have a functioning brain but I am trying.

I just wish we would get this distraction out of the way because it is consuming a lot of time from discussing just how incompetent a leader President Obama really is and how bad his ideas are for liberty and freedom.
