Why Obama's squirming over Honduras

Obama: Not a Natural Born Citizen According to the Constitution



The mainstream media seems to have broken its silence over the illegitimacy issues regarding Obama's failure to comply with the Constitution. It is news today now that the reservations have percolated for months; the mainstream media has finally decided to air the information. The real news is that the news is reporting it at all.

Bachmann, Poe introduce bill to curb yearly Census survey

As a move to allay fears that the legitimate questions in the decennial census are overly intrusive two Representatives have introduced legislation to curb the invasive information collected. Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Ted Poe (R-Texas) have introduced the legislation.

Bachmann vowed that she would not fill out the legally-mandated Census in 2010 over concerns about the nature of some of the information collected by the survey.


This is a good piece of legislation that deserves to be passed.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
SANTA ANA (SOUTHERN) DIVISION

Alan Keyes, Ph.D., Willey S. Drake, and Markham Robinson, Plaintiffs, Civil Action No.:
SACV09-00082-DOC (Anx) v. Barack H. Obama, et al., Defendants. §

MOTION FOR ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT

This court has jurisdiction over Count I of the Plaintiffs’ complaint filed January 20, 2009, (for Declaratory Judgment regarding Barack H. Obama’s status as a natural born citizen and resultant constitutional qualification to serve as President), pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(4)(B) and 42 U.S.C. §§1983, 1988 (Civil Rights Action), and venue is proper in the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division, is the District and Division in which Plaintiff Wiley S. Drake Lives (Buena Park, Orange County, California).

This matter is justiciable under FOIA, 5 U.S.C. §§ 552a(b), 552a(b)(2) (1988). Under FOIA, an agency such as the Executive Office of the President and the White House (Title 3, C.F.R.) must disclose the information sought by the requester unless the agency can invoke one of nine exemptions specified in that Act. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(b) (1988). Some of these exemptions protecting personal privacy apply to “medical and personnel records.” 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) (1988). However, it has been for many years recognized that the medical and personnel records of the de facto or de jure President of the United States (such as Barack Hussein Obama today) and even for candidates for the Presidency of the United States are matters of public interest and concern. The issue in this case is whether the public interest in a limited number of personnel records on Barack Hussein Obama is sufficient to compel disclosure of one particular document whose existence has been acknowledged and confirmed many times but which, for whatever as yet undisclosed reasons, neither the private Candidate Barack Hussein Obama or the de facto President Barack Hussein Obama has been willing to disclose, namely: the “vault” or “long form” Hawaii birth certificate (and all related hospital or medical documents) which Plaintiffs contain will finally confirm or denounce Barack Hussein Obama’s Article II qualifications to serve and “faithfully execute” the office of President of the United States, showing whether Mr. Obama was indeed born on US soil to two US citizen parents.

The public had before the election and still has today a compelling interest in the disclosure of this one single bit of critical documentation (and all related) records and proof. The public’s interest is undergirded by two lines of decisions from the U. S. Supreme Court. The first line concerns the public’s right to the performance of an agency manager, such as an including the President as “manager” of the entire executive branch, under FOIA. The second line of decisions concerns the vital role in our democratic society played by disclosing facts and track records of candidates for public office.

Against this enormous public interest in favor of disclosing the records on Barack Hussein Obama, the present Defendant Barack Hussein Obama by his default has raised absolutely nothing (nor have the U.S. Attorneys who attempt to appear as non-parties [neither as representing Obama, nor any intervening party, nor as “amici curiae” on their own behalf] with their highly irregular “Statement of Interest,” the statutory or rule-based justification for which does not appear on the face of this bizarre filing). The Defendant’s substantive default is complete even after repeated notification and service.

Since the FOIA exemptions that permit an agency to withhold information are narrowly construed, the Court has no statutory basis to rule for anything except full production of the limited number of constitutionally significant documents from the de facto Chief Executive Officer of the United States. It is a matter of public record that Barack Hussein Obama both as the Presidential Candidate and the de facto has never denied the relevance of his birth certificate but in fact repeatedly produced a computer image of an unsigned, unofficial document directly and through the Democratic National Committee, while refusing to consent to release of the official document on file in the Health Department in Hawaii.

Accordingly even if Barack Hussein Obama were deemed to have appeared and answered or objected to service by and through the U.S. Attorney’s office, which he plainly did not do, Barack Hussein Obama would be equitably and quite possible judicially estopped by his conduct in prior litigation from raising any FOIA objection to all elements of his personnel and medical records under FOIA. As shown in Exhibit B, in prior proceedings another United States Attorney in the State of California, to wit Lawrence G. Brown and Yoshinori H. T. Himel, agreed to the production of documents informally rather than by subpoena (Exhibit B).

In sum, even in the absence of default, Barack Hussein Obama has no viable defense to the claims raised by the Plaintiffs in this suit.

The odd truth is that Barack Hussein Obama has not resisted the substance of repeated requests for proof of his citizenship in and of themselves. He has neither claimed a privacy interest in his original “Long Form” “Vault” birth certificate from Hawaii. Rather, Defendant Obama has merely (but routinely) resisted any criticism of the form or sufficiency of his responses, and has refused to cure any doubts regarding the same, without regard to public confidence or respect for the public interest and the intangible right of the people to honest fiduciary services on the part of their governmental officials. Cf. 18 U.S.C. §1346.

The public has a significant, almost unparalleled, interest under FOIA in the release of these records, which shed determinative light on the Constitutional qualifications of the President. Because the public interest under FOIA in the release of Obama’s records was so significant, and because Obama has never claimed a privacy interest in his personnel or medical records prior to becoming President, this court should follow an implement the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in United States Dep’t of Justice v. Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749 (1989). This case established guidelines for determining when records should be released under FOIA. Federal agencies (such as the Executive Office of the President and White House) should release records: (1) when they are “practically obscure,” so that a party would have reason to invoke FOIA to obtain them, and (2) when the nature of the records serves the public interest.

The only public interests cognizable under FOIA is shedding light on an executive officer’s competence or agency’s performance and its statutory duties. Additionally, the purpose of FOIA as well as the plain language of the Act create a strong presumption in favor of disclosure and place the burden on an agency to justify withholding any requested documents. Id. at 764-80; see also United States Dep’t of State v. Ray, 112 S. Ct. 541, 547 (1991).

Even if this Court were to consider that some of Obama’s personnel and medical records were exempt, FOIA requires an agency to release segregable, nonexempt portions of a partially exempt record. Environmental Protection Agency v. Mink, 410 U.S. 73, 91 (1973); see 5 U.S.C. § 552(b) (1988) (final sentence explicitly requires disclosure of any “reasonably segregable” nonexempt information). The records requested by the Plaintiffs’ Complaint herein satisfy both of the Supreme Court’s guidelines favoring disclosure under FOIA.

As to the obscurity guideline, the names and titles of witnesses and attending physicians who supervised or assisted Barack Hussein Obama’s birth and the existence of any clouds on his constitutional qualifications to serve as President which might be held against him were “practically obscure,” so that the Plaintiffs could have obtained these records only through a FOIA request. In fact, it appears that the President has access to his birth records, and simply seeks to control the form, format, and timing of his presentation of evidence, without regard to possible significant differences which might exist between an original (type-or-handwritten from 1961) and a computer-generated abstract such as that which Defendant has proffered repeatedly through the Democratic National Committee and White House.

Accordingly, the Supreme Court’s Reporters Committee holding strongly suggests that FOIA imposed a duty on the Presidential Candidate and now de facto President to release the specifically requested form of the records on Obama. As to the public interest guideline, releasing these records would enable the public to learn how and whether Barack Hussein Obama was constitutionally qualified to assume and exercise statutory duties as President. Any action which is taken to maximize government transparency and enhance the confidence in the legitimacy of government is the public interest and the purpose for FOIA. Thus the records released sought by the Plaintiffs in the case at bar meet the public interest guideline articulated in Reporters Committee and should be disclosed under FOIA. To withhold these records in violation of the guidelines set forth in Reporters Committee, Barack Hussein would have to justify his repeated action of stonewalling, and Plaintiffs submit that his default in this case is just part of an almost institutionalized pattern of stonewalling and refusing to answer complaints (see, e.g., Exhibit A: Arizona Complaint and Default). Consequently, FOIA mandates that Barack Hussein Obama release the records requested below, and the Plaintiffs’ request complies with the federal law in all respects: many citizens’ requests have been made, and all have been ignored without lawful justification. The three plaintiffs in the present suit are uniquely situated in that they were either candidates or electors in the Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections of 2008, and they accordingly have unique standing and suffered unique damage as a result of the Defendant’s failure to disclose the information requested:

42 U.S.C. §1983 and 42 U.S.C. §1988(a)

Plaintiffs submit and contend that the people have a civil right or series of rights, actionable in equity under 42 U.S.C. §1983, to demand that their elected officials prove their constitutional qualifications to hold office by clear-and-convincing evidence, and to petition for redress of grievances concerning well-founded doubts concerning their elected officials’ competence or eligibility for the offices which they seek or have obtained.

Plaintiffs contend that there is Constitutional crisis as a result of their continuing uncertainty (and that of many others) concerning the constitutional qualifications of the commander in chief: to put it simply, if the people have no right under the Constitution to secure simple and enforceable rights, such as the right to have a natural born citizen as Commander-in-Chief, then it is obvious that the letter of the constitution is all but null and void. This constitutional crisis, in turn, has major national security ramifications arising from the question of whether a constitutionally unqualified President can issue valid orders as a matter of International and Domestic law. The spirit underlying this lawsuit is a continuing sense of frustrated urgency to uncover the truth so that the public can be fully informed about actual or alleged federal government activities to validate or cover up the President’s real biography and historic background. These issues obviously affect possible questions about the government’s integrity as a whole, because if a deception has occurred, it will be quite impossible ever to conclude, in this conspiracy, that “Obama acted alone.”

Plaintiffs further contend that the absence of a public means to challenge eligibility and qualifications to hold office, even after elections, constitute an injury to the substantive due process rights of the American public if the truth is not uncovered as soon as possible. The Obama administration is moving at warp speed to accomplish its goals, but if Obama is ineligible to be a US president, everything that is being “accomplished” will be illegal. Consequently, time is of the essence in uncovering the truth and the fact that final confirmation of “the truth” by clear and convincing evidence remains just out of reach nearly six full months after the inauguration is no cause to characterize or find this inquiry “moot.”

Within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. §1988(a), to the extent that this is a case where the laws of the United States are not suitable to protect and vindicate the civil rights of the people of the United States to demand and require their governmental officials to prove their constitutional qualifications, and to the extent that there are no laws or insufficient law suitable to carry these rights into effect or otherwise adapted to the object of proving elected officials’ qualifications, then this Court is empowered by 42 U.S.C. §1988(a) to extend the common and statutory law of the United States in a manner consistent with the Constitution to provide for the trial (or after default, summary disposition without trial) and disposition of this cause and, if crimes are found, to ensure the infliction of punishment on the guilty parties.

By his default, Barack Hussein Obama has waived any objection or answer he might otherwise have had to the utilization of 42 U.S.C. §1988(a) to extend the common and statutory laws of the United States in a manner so as to require proof of his constitutional eligibility. Within the meaning of Rule 55(b)(2)(A), (C), and (D) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to entry of Final Judgment by Default, this Court has the power to conduct hearings or make referrals to determine the exact contours of such extension of common and statutory laws consistent with the constitution in order to (A) conduct an accounting of Barack Hussein Obama’s conduct as a candidate for President of the United States, (C) establish the truth of Defendant’s qualification or lack of qualification to serve as President by clear-and-convincing evidence, and (D) to investigate all other matters related to Count I of Plaintiffs’ Complaint and Defendant’s default thereon.

Plaintiffs suggest that, in the post-default environment, and prior to or after entry of final judgment, this Court has the power to order Barack Hussein Obama to appear and show cause why Default Judgment should not be upheld (or entered) against him, as well as to order the “interested” U.S. Attorneys’ to justify and prove their standing to appear in this case, either in a representative or “active party” capacity (e.g. as interveners, Amici Curiae, or as representatives of identified interveners or Friends of the Court etc.). Plaintiffs propose a 60 day period during which mandatory post-default discovery and/or mediation should be allowed to take place, limited only by the scope of any proposed or actually entered default judgment which may be rendered in this case.

Plaintiffs reemphasize that they seek relief against Barack Hussein Obama only in regard to his conduct occurring or issues accruing prior to his inauguration on January 20, 2009. Plaintiffs’ FOIA and 1983 actions concern only conduct and actions conducted under color of law by Obama as a private individual running for President of the United States, i.e., his “personnel” file, insofar as this reflects on his qualifications to hold and authority to “faithfully execute” the office of President of the United States.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

For all of the above-and-foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs pray that this court will enter final judgment by default against Defendant Barack Hussein Obama pursuant both to 5 U.S.C §552 and 42 U.S.C. §§1983, 1988(a).

This Court should issue an order to Barack Hussein Obama to show cause why the full measure of relief requested by the Plaintiffs in this case should not be granted, and should in particular order a 60 day period of post-default discovery and mediation so that the contours of the final judgment under 42 U.S.C. §1988(a), including the extension or modification of common and statutory law to protect the civil rights of the people of the United States to demand clear-and-convincing evidence of the constitutional qualifications, eligibility, and competence of their elected (as well as their non-elected) officials, representatives, and executive agents.

Not Long in Office, Less Than Enthusiastic



I think the charisma has worn off; this general audience gathered for America's greatest game sound less than thrilled with the ever cheeky Obama. He may want to take a note from the Nixon play book and show up in public less often.

Obama In a Snit

The strong arm tactics of Obama are directed against Kyl, Senator from Arizona, who dares to suggest that the Stimulus is a bust. Obama is threatening to cut Arizona off from federal funds. I think Obama seriously misunderstands Arizonans. They may invite dissociation from the regime.

Soldier who says Obama isn't president doesn't have to deploy

This is an intriguing development. Just when Orly Taitz successfully pleads a case that will be heard regarding Obama's illegitimacy to be POTUS the soldier who asked for an emergency action rescinding deployment is granted a deferment. U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, a reserve soldier, has had his deployment orders revoked according to an Army spokesperson.

International Law, Wise Latina, and Feelings: Sotomayor

Americans have heard that Sotomayor judges based on feelings, empathy and cultural insight, but she may rule based on international law as well. It seems that the international regime in power does not look to American law and the Constitution but further afield.


In 2007, in “The International Judge” Sotomayor introduced the book with the following: “The question of how much we have to learn from foreign law and the international community when interpreting our Constitution,” she wrote, is “worth posing.”


Earlier this year, Sotomayor spoke to the Puerto Rican chapter of the ACLU. “International law and foreign law will be very important in the discussion of how to think about the unsettled issues in our own legal system,” she told the group.


Why are American judges ruling based on international law?


There is no need to consult foreign law when interpreting American constitutional law.


The Constitution is straightforward and admirably clear and simple when compared to international law and has served Americans well.


It is perhaps time to identify a trend in American law, based on foreign policies. Earlier this year Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg told a panel at Ohio State University that our Supreme Court ought to pay more attention to the laws and policies of other countries. “You will not be listened to if you don’t listen to others,” she warned.


It is highly likely that Saudi Arabia and China will approach the topic of terrorism much differently than Americans have in the post 9/11 period.


The Heritage Foundation's international law expert Steven Groves suggested several questions Sotomayor ought to be asked during her hearings.


-- Do you believe that it is the proper role of a justice of the Supreme Court to decide cases based on whether the decision will influence the jurisprudence of foreign courts? If so, how great a factor should the desire to influence foreign courts play in interpreting the Constitution?

-- By what criteria should foreign decisions be cited? Should the Court really be looking to adopt norms outside of the American tradition when deciding cases regarding controversial “values” issues such as the death penalty and homosexuality?

-- What exactly constitutes the mainstream of human thinking? Since much of American constitutional jurisprudence falls outside of the mainstream, why would we want to allow America’s less republican neighbors in the world community to influence the Court’s decisions?


Supreme Court justices take an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States. That is their task and they should adhere to it.


The hearing may be a sham and she is really already in while politicians use the hearings as a pulpit for their agenda but Senators should exact explanations and clarifications about her employment of foreign law--and Americans should heed her answers and judge her accordingly.


To quote Sotomayor accurately, in a 2001 speech to law students at the University of California at Berkeley (she said it was at Duke), she stated:

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."


This is how other countries run things, based on personal background, the U.S. should not imitate their example.

Cap and Tax Bill Assists China

Loren Yager, GAO director of international affairs, authored a study demonstrating that the American Clean Energy and Security Act--the so-called “cap-and-trade” climate-change bill--would give manufacturers in certain industries in the Communist People's Republic of China an advantage over their U.S. competitors and put U.S. jobs at risk. The study was published as a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Orly Taitz Gets a Trial from Judge Carter

At the hearing today at the Federal Court building in Santa Ana, Judge Carter said the following:

1. There will be a trial;
2. It will be heard on the merits;
3. Nothing will be dismissed on procedural grounds;
4. The trial will be expeditious and the Judge pledged to prioritize the case;
5. As a former Marine the Judge realizes the importance of having a Constitutionally qualified POTUS/CINC.
6. The Judge stated that if Obama isn't Constitutionally qualified he needs to leave the White House.

The DOJ will be involved with the case also. I would suspect that the government will spare no expense which is not just. The taxpayers should not fund a case that Obama should bear on his own and on his dime. He has misused enough taxpayer funds alread.

Update on Vichy Assault on First Amendment: Sunstein

The censorship Czar, POTUS’s University of Chicago faculty friend and Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein, is seeking to clamp down on bloggers. A website, Stop Sunstein, has been formed to stop the nomination. Sunstein is an anti-hunting, anti-gun, animal rights activist as documented by the web site using Sunstein’s own words. The innocuous title of the appointed office, White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, masks the intentions of this truly frightening assault on First Amendment rights.






Moreover, Sunstein is married to Samantha Power who is tied to mogul George Soros.
