Judge throws out complaint brought on behalf of Keyes

A California court has ruled that apparently anyone can run for president on the California ballot – whether or not they are eligible under the Constitution of the United States.

"Secretary of State Debra Bowen contends that there is no basis for mandamus relief because the Secretary of State has no 'ministerial duty' to demand detailed proof of citizenship from presidential candidates," said Judge Michael P. Kenny. "The court finds this argument persuasive."

His opinion threw out a case raising questions over President Barack Obama's eligibility that had been brought by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes, a 2008 presidential candidate, and others.

That even though, as WND has reported, California in the past has exercised the authority to determine whether presidential candidates are qualified, and remove them from the ballot if they are not.

The lawsuit explained secretaries of state in California previously have exercised their election authority and have rejected candidates who did not qualify.

"As stated in our previous pleadings herein, former California Secretaries of State have taken legal action to remove individuals from the ballot for failure to comply with the eligibility requirements to serve as President of the United States, although, in those cases, the issue had to do with the 'age' requirement, not the 'natural born citizen,'" the USJF said.

The filing continued with the warning, "If MR. OBAMA is not constitutionally eligible to serve as President of the United States, then no act that he takes is, arguably, valid, the laws that he signs would not be valid, the protective orders that he signs would be null and void, and every act that he takes would be subject to legal challenge, both in Courts of the United States of America, and in International Courts, and that, therefore, it is important for the voters to know whether he, or any candidate for President in the future, is eligible to serve in that office."

The case documents previously explained that in 1968 the Peace and Freedom Party submitted the name of Eldridge Cleaver as a qualified candidate for president, and then-Secretary of State Frank Jordan "found that, according to Mr. Cleaver's birth certificate, he was only 34 years old, one year shy of the 35 years of age needed to be on the ballot as a candidate for president."

USJF explained that "using his administrative powers, Mr. Jordan removed Mr. Cleaver from the ballot. Mr. Cleaver unsuccessfully challenged this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of California, and, later, to the Supreme Court of the United States."

The USJF said similarly, in 1984, Peace and Freedom Party candidate Larry Holmes was removed from the ballot.

Even in the 2008 campaign, foreign-born third-party candidate Roger Calero was removed from ballots in some states, according to elections reports.

The judge, however, dismissed the case on Bowen's arguments and others.


"A traditional writ of mandate can only issue if the respondent has a clear, present, and usually ministerial duty and the petitioner has a clear, present, and beneficial interest in the performance of that duty. … Code of Civil Procedure section 1085 provides that a writ of mandate will lie 'to compel the performance of an act which the law specially enjoins, as a duty resulting from office, trust or station, or to compel the admission of a party to the use and enjoyment of a right or office to which the party is entitled," the judge wrote.

"Petitioners have not identified any authority requiring the Secretary of State to make an inquiry into or demand detailed proof of citizenship from Presidential candidates. Elections Code section 6901 requires the Secretary of State to provide local elections officials with a certified list of the names and party affiliations of candidates nominated by their respective parties to appear on the November 4, 2008 Presidential General Election ballot. Elections Code section 15505 requires the Secretary of State to certify to the Governor the names of the electors receiving the highest number of votes," he wrote.

But there's simply no "clear or present ministerial duty" to require eligibility documentation from presidential candidates.

"Such a duty is not imposed by of Elections Code section 12172.5 which provides that the secretary of state 'shall see that state election laws are enforced,'" he wrote.

The judge also threw out a subpoena issued to Occidental College to provide copies of Obama's records of attendance there.

WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.

Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.

Keyes has been critical of judges' refusal to listen to evidence in the disputes.

"In the final analysis if the courts refuse to respect the Constitution, they are not the judges of their own action. The people must ultimately decide. Which is why I and others will use every outlet to inform them of the injustice being done not just to individuals but to the sovereign people as a whole," Keyes said.

In a commentary on the dispute, Keyes wrote that the suggestion of sanctions against those who bring up the questions, already raised as an issue by Obama's lawyers in his case, "confirms Obama's ruthless determination to destroy anyone who continues to seek the information the Constitution requires.

"Why should they demand penalties against citizens who are simply seeking the enforcement of the Supreme Law of the Land? It is simply because their persistence runs contrary to the will of a supposedly popular demagogue? This smacks of tyrannical arrogance. That Obama thus signals his intent to bring financial ruin on those who won't accept his cover-up of the circumstances of his birth is a tactical escalation," Keyes said.

"As one of the targets of this escalation, I need no more convincing proof of the ruthless disposition so far successfully masked by his empty rhetoric of hope and change. Obviously he means to offer hope only to those willing to surrender their most basic rights. To any who insist on questioning his actions, he offers the drastic change of ruin and destruction. So be it. We shall be among those who learn firsthand the meaning of the sacrifices made by the Founders of our free republic, as they pledged and gave up their lives, their fortunes and the world's esteem," Keyes said.

"Scalia stated that it would be heard if I can get four people to hear it. He repeated, you need four for the argument. I got a feeling that he was saying that one of these four that call themselves constitutionalists went to the other side," [Dr. Orly] Taitz said.

Justice Clarence Thomas referred Donofrio v. Wells for conference on 11/19/08.

Justice Antonin Scalia referred Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz for conference on 12/08/08.

Justice Antonin Scalia referred Berg v. Obama for conference on 12/23/08.

Chief Justice John Roberts referred Lightfoot v. Bowen for conference on 12/29/08.

I thought that Alito was one of 4 Justices who'd already been "tested" in one of the cases that got to SCOTUS, and that Taitz's request that Roberts take the case was to "test" him as a potential 4th vote after the first geographically-mandated Justice (Kennedy for 9th Circuit) had declined her Petition.

After Alito joined the court in 2006, here's how the circuit assignments were made:

• For the D.C. Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
  For the First Circuit, David H. Souter
  For the Second Circuit, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
  For the Third Circuit, David H. Souter
  For the Fourth Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
  For the Fifth Circuit, Antonin G. Scalia
  For the Sixth Circuit, John Paul Stevens
  For the Seventh Circuit, John Paul Stevens
  For the Eighth Circuit, Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
  For the Ninth Circuit, Anthony M. Kennedy
  For the Tenth Circuit, Stephen G. Breyer
  For the Eleventh Circuit, Clarence Thomas
  For the Federal Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.

Connecticut (Wrotnowski) went to Ginsburg initially as the Justice for 2nd Circuit; PA and NJ (Berg and Donofrio) would have gone to Souter for 3rd Circuit; CA (Lightfoot) would have gone to Kennedy for 9th Circuit.

Taitz wrote about there being cameras, and it's a fact that there was a video feed to 4 other campuses of the University. I'd like to see the video and I hope that she requests a DVD of it from the college so we can see whose version (the reporter's or her's) is more accurate.

The Washington Post had a lot of slant to its story about the Press Conference that Shultz and Taitz and Berg spoke at, at the National Press Club.

But when I saw actual video showing each of them speaking, none of their demeanor or remarks had been accurately portrayed by WaPo. They came off sounding responsible and informed, even if Orly had "political points" to make that went beyond the pure essentials of the case she was handling. She chided the press for doing a bad job of investigating Obama; they didn't like being ridiculed; they used their chance to report on the press conference to get back at her.

I suspect that the Seattle newspaper will be shown to have exhibited biased reporting as well.

Objective reporting of facts from MSM has gone the route of the dodo bird.

Forwarded to me earlier today, and an interesting listen.

Dr. Corsi - Jerry is the best selling author of 'Obamanation' as well as 'Unfit for Command' - he is PhD in poli sci, Harvard, 1972. Jerry also publishes the 'red Alert' newsletter.

Please welcome this brilliant enlightenment to the evidentiary knowledge base.

The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.

The text of the Act is broad and is addressed at any attempt of a US citizen to conduct foreign relations without authority. However, there is no record of any convictions or even prosecutions under the Logan Act.

Passed under the administration of President John Adams, during tension between the U.S. and France, it was informally named for Dr. George Logan of Pennsylvania, a state legislator (and later US Senator) and pacifist who in 1798 engaged in semi-negotiations with France during the Quasi-War.

Here is an intersting article with comments from a popular Muslim website. Use url to see entire article and comments.

Mar 15 Obama’s Eligibility Case Before the Chief Justice

Politics Add comments Hilmar von Campe is a former Hitler youth, intellectual, speaker, and author. In his book Defeating the Totalitarian Lie, Von Campe analyzes the roots of the national socialist and the international socialist/communist ideologies and their ties with Islamic terrorism and defines the terrorist war on America a proxy war. He shows the Neo-Nazis of today and how the influence of Nazi ideology is destroying America’s infrastructure of freedom while Americans sleep.

Many Cubans have also found disturbing similarities between the current trends in America and what happened in Cuba when Castro came to power. (watch this video.)

Dr. Orly Taitz is a Russian American lawyer who grew up in the ex- Soviet Union and she says the American media has lied and has acted in a more totalitarian way than the Soviet media.

I come from Iran and in my youth I saw the swift rise of Khomeini to power and on repeated occasions I too highlighted the similarities between the emergence of Islamofascism in Iran and what is happening today in America.

All of us have experiences to share and know things that Americans don’t. We can see the rise of totalitarianism. We can see how with sheer lies, false hopes have been raised and the inevitable destruction that will ensue. Never lies led to happy endings and this won’t be an exception. Lies always brought death and destruction and this is what is awaiting America. We see the coup d’état that is staged against the people of this country and we are sounding the clarion. It is time that Americans wake up. It’s not just America, but the freedom of the world that is at stake. Something evil is brewing behind the closed doors that you can’t imagine nor believe. For those of us who saw this happen before, it is déjÃ* vu.

But Dr. Orly does not just talk. Orly is a courageous indefatigable American patriot that has put her own life on halt to defend her new found freedom and yours and mine too.

There is hope to mend this colossal mistake and save America and the world. Americans were sold a lie. Obama is not an American born and consequently, under the requirement of the Constitution, he is not eligible for presidency. This buffoon is a fraud. All we have to do to kick this impostor out of the White House is make a court ask him to show his birth certificate, (not the fake certification of birth he has posted on his site). That sounds simple, but Obama can’t do that and instead he has spent close to a million dollars in legal fees to dodge this requirement.

What is most strange is that none of the dozens of cases filed against him have gone to hearing. Amazingly, all these cases were dismissed and Obama was not asked to produce his birth certificate. Unless you believe in miracles, I am inclined to believe that there must be a conspiracy at work. I’ll write on that tomorrow.

However, Orly is not the kind of person that would give up easily. The following is the latest on this bizarre story. Whatever the outcome, Orly has reserved herself a place in history. This woman is a heroine and will be remembered by future generations. Hopefully her story will be entitled, The Woman who Saved Our Freedom.

I wondered what had gone on, when Corsi went over to Kenya. Finally the story comes out. (One of Odinga's relatives was named "Fidel Castro Odinga" ???? Amazing!)

Meanwhile, how the equivalent of MSM in Africa tried to "clean up the messy details" about Obama and Odinga and the problems during the Kenyan election and the massacres in their aftermath. ...

http://allafrica.com/stories/200806161211.html

Washington, DC — Senator Barack Obama is absent from the list of dignitaries with whom Prime Minister Raila Odinga is scheduled to confer during his current visit to Washington.

Peter Ogego, Kenya's ambassador to the United States, told the 'Nation' on Sunday that an Odinga-Obama meeting is "not in the programme" of official talks that get underway on Tuesday. The PM's plane is due to touch down at Dulles International Airport shortly after 3pm Washington time. Mr Odinga has said he is a cousin of Mr Obama's, although the senator's representatives deny that the two men are related.

The Kenyan-American presidential candidate may wish to avoid meeting with the PM due to concerns that such contact would be used to stoke rumours intended to wound Senator Obama politically. Right-wing extremists have been circulating baseless claims on the Internet that Senator Obama is closely allied with Prime Minister Odinga, who is described by the Obama-haters as both an Islamist and a socialist.
Mr Odinga's visit will focus on efforts to promote US investment in Kenya and to win additional assistance for the country from the American government and the World Bank. Efforts will also be made to persuade Americans that it is again safe to visit Kenya, Mr Ogego said.

The PM's round of confirmed appearances begins Tuesday morning with a talk at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. He is then scheduled to be honoured at a luncheon co-hosted by the Kenya embassy and by the Corporate Council on Africa, which includes most of the US corporations that do business on the continent. According to Mr Ogego, the PM's schedule will include the signing of two key agreements between Kenya and the US. These are the Kenya US open skies agreement set to be signed on Wednesday and the Kenya US Peace corps agreement which will be signed on Thursday.

The open skies agreement will involve the Kenya Airports being granted category "A" status by the US aviation authorities so as to allow Kenyan-registered planes to land in the US and vice versa. Mr Ogego said that this agreement will allow Kenya to promote its trade, tourism, horticulture and agriculture. As a key indication of return to normalcy, the US Peace Corps is expected to announce during Mr Odinga's visit that its volunteers will soon resume their work in Kenya.

"The visit is very important in that this is the first time a senior official of the Kenya Government is coming to the US after formation of the Grand Coalition," Mr Ogego said. Mr Odinga will tell US officials such as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that "Kenya is back on course and the coalition is working," the ambassador added.

But there was a classic "Reader Comment" at the bottom of that coverup story:

Author: eriand Sun Jun 29 03:45:35 2008

You said: "Right-wing extremists have been circulating baseless claims on the Internet that Senator Obama is closely allied with Prime Minister Odinga"

You gotta be kidding. In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy at rallies in Nairobi. At the time of his visit in 2006, President Kibaki's spokesman complained that Mr. Obama was behaving like a "stooge" of Mr. Odinga. Just go to this website and see Obama and Odinga in Nairobi.

http://www.sodahead.com/blog/2048/

The man with the microphone is of course BHO. Raila Odinga is sitting. BHO is speaking at an Odinga rally?

Also Mr. Odinga says that Mr. Obama interrupted his campaigning in New Hampshire to have a telephone conversation with his African cousin.

"Baseless claims on the Internet that Senator Obama is closely allied?"

Come on, you are only fooling yourself.

The sodahead blog was interesting ...

[quote]Who is this Man with Obama?

[size=150]

That is Raila Odinga. Who is Odinga? Odinga is Obama’s cousin. Odinga and Obama are from the same Kenyan Luo tribe. Odinga supporters are the people that are burning christians alive, trapped inside churches … most of Odinga's fanatical followers are radical Islamists who have pushed for Islamic Sharia Law, total banning of other religions and closing of co-ed schools, night clubs and ‘public dressing style considered immoral’. Odinga was educated in Former Soviet controlled East Germany and maintains a strong loyalty to the vision of his ‘Educators’ and has allied with Islamist in order to gain their political support.

In 2006 Obama took a trip to Kenya and voiced his support for his fellow tribesman and political ally, Odinga. Obama also directly attacked the sitting Kenyan leadership (Kibaki) calling them ‘corrupt’ (Kenya is one of the most stable places in Africa). Odinga is the cat that ran on the socialist democrat ticket in Kenya and lost to sitting president Kibaki.

It’s not getting reported in the media that the looting and burning of businesses in Kisumu was targeted to both Kikuyus and Kenyan Indians. The economy of Kenya is controlled by these two groups because they are Entrepreneurial. But Kenyan Indians rarely get involved in Kenyan politics, they do not vote by choice, yet the Luos in Kisumu do not like them, that’s why their stores were getting burnt too.

Tribe of 540,000 Kikuyu, rivals of the Luo for Power, All but Vanishes From Kenyan City ethnically cleansed and massacred by Odinga’s butchers.

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gQpr ... r4lcG3Tt...

Yet Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak by phone with Odinga, his cousin. He did not speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki. Odinga has now made a deal for support with Muslim fundamentalists… A photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya…
http://eakenya.org/newsevents/article.htm?id=8

Here is a summary on the agreement which was signed:

* It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila’s election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two.

* Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

* Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in “Muslim declared regions.â€

This is reading like a spy novel. I keep looking for the Seals to come to the rescue.

Chief justice accepts 'eligibility' petition

Roberts agrees to read Obama docs, consider WND's 330,000 signers

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts

A California attorney lobbying the U.S. Supreme Court for a review of Barack Obama's qualifications to be president confronted the chief justice yesterday with legal briefs and a WND petition bearing names of over 325,000 people asking the court to rule on whether or not the sitting president fulfills the Constitution's "natural-born citizen" clause.

According to Orly Taitz, the attorney who confronted Chief Justice John Roberts at a lecture at the University of Idaho, the judge promised before the gathered crowd that he would, indeed, read and review the briefs and petition.

"I addressed him in front of 800 people in the audience," Taitz told WND, "including university officials, the president of the Idaho State Bar and the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Idaho, and in front of all them, [Roberts] promised to read my papers."

Roberts was lecturing on Abraham Lincoln to approximately 1,200 attendees of the annual Bellwood Memorial Lecture Series at the Moscow, Idaho, university. Roberts has been chief justice of the Supreme Court since his nomination by President George W. Bush and subsequent confirmation in 2005.

Earlier in the week, Taitz confronted Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who told her the issue of Obama's eligibility, which has been raised before the Supreme Court at least four times but has yet to be given a single hearing, still lacked the votes of the required four justices in conference before it would be officially heard.

Taitz said, "I told Scalia that I was an attorney that filed Lightfoot v. Bowen that Chief Justice Roberts distributed for conference on Jan. 23 and now I represent nine state reps and 120 military officers, many of them high ranked, and I want to know if they will hear Quo Warranto and if they would hear it on original jurisdiction, if I bring Hawaii as an additional defendant to unseal the records and ascertain Obama's legitimacy for presidency."

The legal phrase Quo Warranto essentially means an explanation is being demanded for what authority Obama is using to act as president. An online constitutional resource says Quo Warranto "affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents."

Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 325,000 others and sign up now!

"Tell me what to do, what can I do?" Taitz reports asking Scalia. "Those soldiers [her plaintiffs] can be court-martialed for asking a legitimate question, who is the president, is he legitimate?"

She says Scalia responded, "Bring the case, I'll hear it, I don't know about others."

In Idaho, Taitz obtained the promise of one of the others, the chief justice, that he would read through the eligibility challenge, including the petition brought by WND readers.

As WND reported, Taitz is submitting a motion to the Supreme Court for re-hearing of Lightfoot v. Bowen, a case she is working on through her foundation Defend Our Freedoms, alleging some of her documentation may have been withheld from the justices by a court clerk.


Orly Taitz

She asserts docketing information about her case "was erased from the docket of the Supreme Court on January 21st, one day after the inauguration and two days before [the case was to be heard]."

At the lecture in Idaho, Taitz grabbed the attention of Justice Roberts by boldly addressing her allegation that a clerk had buried the case.

Taitz told WND that the forum rules required that those questioning Roberts announce their relationship to the University of Idaho and refrain from talking about cases currently before or likely to appear before the court.

"I said, 'Justice Roberts, my name is Orly Taitz. I'm an attorney from California, and I got up at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, flew and drove thousands of miles just to ask you a question. So please give me some leeway,'" Taitz told WND. "My question is, do you know there is illegal activity going on in the Supreme Court of the United States?"

According to Taitz, the room was stunned silent as she continued, "I have presented my case to you, and you personally agreed to hear this case in conference. But your clerk refused to forward a supplemental brief to you. He has hidden this brief from you. He refused to put it on the docket. Additionally, my case was erased from the docket one day after the Inauguration, two days before my case was to be heard.

"Outraged citizens and members of the media and state representatives are calling the Supreme Court, demanding to have the case reentered on the docket," Taitz told Roberts.

Then she held up the WND petition and continued, "Moreover, here are the names of U.S. citizens who signed this petition and who sent individual letters to individual justices, including you, Justice Roberts, all of them demanding the same thing – that you hear my case in regards to Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility for presidency."

According to Taitz, Roberts approached the microphone and said, "I see you have papers. I promise you I will read all your papers, I will review them. Please give them to my Secret Service and I will review all of them."

Shortly thereafter, Taitz told WND, a Secret Service agent identified by his badge as Gilbert Shaw accepted two suitcases of documents and pledged to deliver them to Roberts.

Taitz reports the documents included four major sections:

A motion for reconsideration of Lightfoot v. Bowen with all its supplemental briefs.

The Quo Warranto Easterling et al v. Obama et al case.

The WND petition, consisting of 3,300 pages of names – over 325,000 in all – of people demanding the Supreme Court hear the Obama eligibility case.

A copy of a 164-page dossier sent to Attorney General Eric Holder detailing suspected criminal activity surrounding Obama and his supporters, also available on the Defend Our Freedoms website.
WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, some suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.

Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.

Although Obama officials have told WND all such allegations are "garbage," here is a partial listing and status update for some of the cases over Obama's eligibility:

New Jersey attorney Mario Apuzzo has filed a case on behalf of Charles Kerchner and others alleging Congress didn't properly ascertain that Obama is qualified to hold the office of president.

Pennsylvania Democrat Philip Berg has three cases pending, including Berg vs. Obama in the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a separate Berg vs. Obama which is under seal at the U.S. District Court level and Hollister vs. Soetoro a/k/a Obama, (now dismissed) brought on behalf of a retired military member who could be facing recall to active duty by Obama.

Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed a lawsuit claiming Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court but denied a full hearing.

Cort Wrotnowski filed suit against Connecticut's secretary of state, making a similar argument to Donofrio. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court, but was denied a full hearing.

Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes headlines a list of people filing a suit in California, in a case handled by the United States Justice Foundation, that asks the secretary of state to refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. The case was dismissed by Judge Michael P. Kenny.

Chicago attorney Andy Martin sought legal action requiring Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle to release Obama's vital statistics record. The case was dismissed by Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe.

Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan sought a temporary restraining order to stop the Electoral College vote in North Carolina until Barack Obama's eligibility could be confirmed, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship. His case was denied.

In Ohio, David M. Neal sued to force the secretary of state to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied.

Also in Ohio, there was the Greenberg v. Brunner case which ended when the judge threatened to assess all case costs against the plaintiff.

In Washington state, Steven Marquis sued the secretary of state seeking a determination on Obama's citizenship. The case was denied.

In Georgia, Rev. Tom Terry asked the state Supreme Court to authenticate Obama's birth certificate. His request for an injunction against Georgia's secretary of state was denied by Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter.

California attorney Orly Taitz has brought a case, Lightfoot vs. Bowen, on behalf of Gail Lightfoot, the vice presidential candidate on the ballot with Ron Paul, four electors and two registered voters.
In addition, other cases cited on the RightSideofLife blog as raising questions about Obama's eligibility include:

In Texas, Darrel Hunter vs. Obama later was dismissed.

In Ohio, Gordon Stamper vs. U.S. later was dismissed.

In Texas, Brockhausen vs. Andrade.

In Washington, L. Charles Cohen vs. Obama.

In Hawaii, Keyes vs. Lingle, dismissed.
