I Will Read Your Documents It was a grueling day, I left home at 3 in the morning after sleeping only 3 hours and drove to San Diego, from there flew to Salt Lake City, from there to Tacoma, Washington, from there I drove for a couple of hours to be in Moscow Idaho, to address Chief Justice Roberts.  After the lecture the audience was told, that they can ask questions, give their name and present a shot question.  I was the first to run to the microphone and told Roberts.

"My name is Orly Taitz, I am an attorney from Southern California.  I left home at three o'clock in the morning and flew and drove thousands of miles to talk to you and ask you a question."  Roberts seemed to be impressed by that, and I continued.

"Are you aware that there is criminal activity going on in the Supreme Court of the United States.  I have submitted my case Lightfoot v Bowen to you.  You agreed to hear it in the conference of all 9 Justices on January 23.  Your clerk, Danny Bickle, on his own accord refused to forward to you an important supplemental brief, he has hidden it from you and refused to post it on the docket.  Additionally, my case was erased from the docket, completely erased one day after the inauguration, only two days before it was supposed to be heard in the conference.  Outraged citizens had to call and demand for it to be posted.  On Monday I saw Justice Scalia and he had absolutely no knowledge of my case, that was supposedly heard in conference on January 23rd.  It is inexplicable, particularly knowing that roughly half a million American citizens have written to him and to you Justice Roberts demanding that you hear this issue of eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro to be the President of the United States."

At that point I have shown to Roberts a stack of papers, that I held.  Those were my pleadings and printouts that I got from WorldNetDaily.  It contained your names, names of about 350,000 that signed the petition -- there were others that have written individual letters.

Roberts said "I will read your documents, I will review them.  Give them to my Secret Service Agent and I will review them." His Secret Service Agent approached me and stated, "Give me all the documents, I promise you Justice Roberts will get them."

I had a full suitcase of documents.  The agent went to look for a box, he found a large box to fit all the documents, he showed me his badge, and introduced himself as Gilbert Shaw, secret Service Agent assigned to the security of Chief Justice Roberts.

I gave him . . . continued . . .
Almost Meaningless
In a filing to a Distict Circuit Court in Washington DC today, the Obama administration declared that they will no longer define detainees at Guantanamo Bay prison as "enemy combatants."  Although the filing affirms the armed forces authority to detain individuals who were "part of," or who provided "substantial support" to, al-Qaida or Taliban forces and "associated forces," and that authority "is not limited to persons captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan."

There isn't much sunlight between Obama and Bush here.  The one substantial difference is the use of the word "substantial" in defining the threshold for detention, but what they mean by "substantial" is not explained in the filing, and the administration is still maintaining an unlimited geographic zone for their authority to detain "enemy combatants," indefinitely and without charges.  The decision to stop calling detainees at Guantanamo "enemy combatants" is at this point, "almost meaningless."
Obama: I'll Forge New Ties With Muslims In phone conversations with the leaders of Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines on Friday, Obama discussed his commitment to forging a new relationship with Islamic countries, among other issues.

The White House said Obama discussed the importance of improving US relations with Islamic countries with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Obama noted that he and Yudhoyono would attend the Group of 20 nations summit next month in London.

At the end of his European trip next month, Obama is scheduled to visit Turkey, a Muslim country where relations with the US were strained by the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Obama and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, another G-20 country and longtime US ally in the Middle East, agreed on the importance of maintaining a strong US-Saudi relationship to promote peace and security in the region.

The White House said they also spoke about coordinating international efforts to restore economic growth.

In his conversation with Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroy, Obama commended her country's efforts against terrorism and in modernizing the armed forces.  They also talked about cooperating on other issues, including climate change and education, the White House said.

Obama and Arroyo also reaffirmed their commitment to the long-standing US-Philippine alliance, including the Visiting Forces Agreement, a bilateral pact that governs the conduct of US forces in the country.
No "Ministerial Duty" 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."

Ahh, the old Chico and the Man defense, "Es not my job, man!"

And!  The judge bought it!


His opinion threw out a case raising questions over 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.

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."

Doesn't matter, sayeth the judge!  Case dismissed!


Kenny dismissed the case, ruling, ""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."

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.

"The court finds this argument persuasive."

I believe that any argument would have persuaded this judge?
H.R. 1503 "A freshman representative has introduced a bill to the U.S. Congress that would require presidential candidates to provide a birth certificate and other documents to prove their eligibility to occupy the Oval Office.

Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., filed H.R. 1503, an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, which increased required campaign fund disclosure and was later amended to establish the Federal Elections Commission.

According to the Library of Congress’ bill-tracking website, H.R. 1503 would "require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of president to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution."
More Ethics Waivers Despite his solemn promise to the American people to keep lobbyists out of his administration, two more have slipped in.  The latest waivers were provided for Jocelyn Frye, director of policy and projects in the Office of First Lady, and Cecilia Munoz, director of intergovernmental affairs in the executive office of the president. 

Munoz was a senior vice president for the National Council of La Raza.  She was heavily involved in the immigration battles in Congress in recent years, and is now a principal liaison to the Hispanic community for the administration.

Not only has Obama flagrantly violated his pledge to keep lobbyists out of his administration but only a couple weeks after his inauguration he began doing this -- probably a record for repudiation of a campaign promise.  Even worse, he's hired an ethnocentric spokesperson for the non-citizen, pro-amnesty Hispanic special-interest factions.  La Raza ("The Race") is a group adamantly committed to an open-borders, pro-amnesty, and special privileges policy ('affirmative action') for Latinos.  The choice of Munoz clearly illustrates that amnesty will be the goal of the Obama administration.
