More background raises a question about how much time he spent in classes at Columbia's own law school, and how much time was spent at another law school abroad:

Accolades

Perkins Coie is frequently recognized for its leadership in the legal profession:

Ranked #67 on the American Lawyer 100 list (200
Listed on FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work Forâ€

More information about the firm, and a headline-making lawsuit against them during the 1990's for fraud and legal malpractice -- settled for $13 million by their insurers -- is provided at

http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-176199.html

Do a google on Bonneville Pacific and its "alternative energy" schtick and its investor-fraud flame-out in bankruptcy in the early 1990's. Perkins Coie was accused of shredding documents that might have proven the fraud by the officers of B-P and/or their stock underwriters, acting in collusion with them to present a false picture of the firm in offerings to stock investors. The law firm represented the Piper Jaffray brokerage firm. There was a big Chicago-based law firm that had to pay an even higher settlement in that lawsuit, brought by a government-appointed bankruptcy expert and naming 50 different defendants who'd played a role in the "alleged" fraud.

I wonder about the REAL date of birth and it made me think about how the rest of the world handles dates. In the U.S., the date of 08-04-61 or 8/4/61 would be August 4, 1961. But over in Europe, and probably in its colonies, and a whole lot of other places the position of month and day-of-month are reversed. That same sequence of numbers would be the 8th day of April (the 4th month) of 1961.

There's a whole lot that doesn't "compute" about Stanley Ann, like how she seemed to have been set to go to college at U of Washington or in Chicago right out of high school and then poof! The family packs off to Hawaii, and she enrolls at UH. She disappears from that campus by January of 1961 when it's logical that she might have taken classes through the spring if she wasn't due to give birth until August. There is alleged to be a photo of her from summer 1961 in swim wear in which she doesn't look pregnant at all. And then it's confirmed that she registered for UW classes in August 1961 when baby would have been just weeks old.

Maybe the date she became pregnant ought to be moved up, and the date BHO was born should be moved up, and then there's all kinds of time to give birth and get things recorded "American style" in Hawaii where 8-4-61 isn't exactly a lie, but it sure could be a misinterpretation.

The date of birth thing is true. My husband was born on febr 8th. When he moved here it took forever for him to break the habit of writing his date as 8/02/xx

The ruling came this morning from Judge David Carter who as WND reported last night apparently recently hired a law clerk out of the law firm
that has been paid nearly $1.7 million to defend Obama from such eligibility challenges.

Isn't this a conflict of interest? I mean to hire someone who worked for a law firm that currently has a case before your court? This is a serious question to those who know the legal definitions of conflict of interest, because I don't, but logically it sounds like it is to me.

Boy, what a hot topic this dismissal has become. Great job Guys & Gals.

I've posted Judge Carter's decision on Scribd.com:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/21903414/Barn ... isses-Suit

I've read the dismissal and it appears to me to be very prosecutorial in nature, and the words 'bull crap' came to mind several times. Let's see what happens on appeal... but then again, this is the crazy Ninth Circuit to which we are looking for help.

I found dismissal comments like this particularly frustrating"

"Plaintiffs thereby ask this Court to intervene and overthrow a president who was elected by “We the Peopleâ€

So, does anyone but me see the following statement in the dismissal as an over-reaction and distraction by the court?

"In order for Plaintiffs’ alleged injury to be fully addressed, Plaintiffs would have the Court intervene, upheave the results of a national election, declare the President illegitimate, shut down the functioning of the government of the United States, and leave this country defenseless."

Gee, I wonder who wrote this line?

I do remember NOT seeing the request in the complaint to "upheave the results of a national election, declare the President illegitimate, shut down the functioning of the government of the United States, and leave this country defenseless."

This was one of my 'bull crap' moments when I read it. But there are many more.
