U.S. government moving to deport longtime legal residents with criminal convictions

Roger Simmie is no angel.

Twenty years ago, the Mountain View carpenter was convicted of resisting arrest and drug possession. Fifteen years after that, he was found guilty of battering his girlfriend. Three times, he's been convicted of drunken driving.

But it's what he didn't do that got him locked up recently in the Santa Clara County Jail. Simmie, a Scot by birth who fought in Vietnam as a U.S. Marine, never applied for U.S. citizenship.

Now he finds himself facing deportation as one of nearly 400,000 immigrants incarcerated this year by the U.S. government. A growing number of noncitizens who have been living in this country as legal permanent residents are learning that run-ins with the law, even minor ones, are translating into life-altering, one-way tickets to homelands they no longer know.

A report last spring from Human Rights Watch found that 1 out of 5 "criminal aliens" deported from 1997 to 2007 had been in the country legally. Many, like Simmie, have known America as home for decades. "I'm living in limbo," said Simmie, 61, whose friends raised thousands of dollars to hire a lawyer to fight his deportation.

Chrysler Dealers and attorneys Donofrio and Pidgeon file lawsuit in NYC

It can now be reported the Bankruptcy case for the Chrysler Dealers who were stripped of their dealerships by the Obama Administration has indeed been filed. Donofrio and Pidgeon have filed a Rule 60 Motion to reconsider on behalf of 21 rejected Chrysler dealers. As was expected, several more dealers have joined in the suit as well. Docket number 6137 was filed today, 12/29/2009 Motion for Relief from Stay to Allow Appeal to Continue filed by Randyl Meigs on behalf of Tommy Manuel Chrysler - Jeep, Inc.. with hearing to be held on 1/21/2010 at 10:00 AM at Courtroom 523 (AJG) Responses due by 1/14/2010. The Debtor in this case is the old Chrysler.

In their briefing, Donofrio and Pidgeon assert that the Judge in the original case, the Honorable Robert J. Gonzalez, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Federal Court, Southern District of New York, committed an unintentional fraud by miss interpreting an important witness statement. That witness was Fiat executive, Alfredo Altavilla, who stated that restructuring of the Dealer network needed to occur before the Fiat purchase of Chrysler could move forward. The Honorable Judge Gonzalez interpreted Altavilla’s answer to mean that a restructuring did not occur when indeed it did.

What's your opinion?
The stage is being set for a major ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on whether the U.S. judiciary actually can enforce the provisions of the Constitution.

The basic question is being raised in an appeal of a district judge's decision to dismiss a legal challenge to Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to be president.

WND previously reported U.S. District Judge David Carter's decision to dismiss the complaint that listed several dozen plaintiffs. Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has filed a notice of appeal to the 9th Circuit in the case. Because of the unusual circumstances in which some of the plaintiffs are represented by another lawyer, attorney Orly Taitz also has filed a motion for reconsideration.

Kreep, who represents plaintiffs Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson, posed the question at the center of the case: "Whether the court may make a determination of whether the president has met the eligibility requirements for office, whether the 'natural born citizen' clause of the
United States Constitution may be enforced by the courts, whether the 'natural born citizen' clause of the U.S. Constitution is a nonpolitical question, whether the court may remove from office a president that was not elected in accordance with the U.S. Constitution."

America's Secret ICE Castles

"If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear." Those chilling words were spoken by James Pendergraph, then executive director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of State and Local Coordination, at a conference of police and sheriffs in August 2008. Also present was Amnesty International's Sarnata Reynolds, who wrote about the incident in the 2009 report "Jailed Without Justice" and said in an interview, "It was almost surreal being there, particularly being someone from an organization that has worked on disappearances for decades in other countries. I couldn't believe he would say it so boldly, as though it weren't anything wrong."

Pendergraph knew that ICE could disappear people, because he knew that in addition to the publicly listed field offices and detention sites, ICE is also confining people in 186 unlisted and unmarked subfield offices, many in suburban office parks or commercial spaces revealing no information about their ICE tenants--nary a sign, a marked car or even a US flag. (Presumably there is a flag at the Veterans Affairs Complex in Castle Point, New York, but no one would associate it with the Criminal Alien Program ICE is running out of Building 7.) Designed for confining individuals in transit, with no beds or showers, subfield offices are not subject to ICE Detention Standards. The subfield office network was mentioned in an October report by Dora Schriro, then special adviser to Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security, but no locations were provided.

I obtained a partial list of the subfield offices from an ICE officer and shared it with immigrant advocates in major human and civil rights organizations, whose reactions ranged from perplexity to outrage. Andrea Black, director of Detention Watch Network (DWN), said she was aware of some of the subfield offices but not that people were held there. ICE never provided DWN a list of their locations.

Firing Lou Dobbs, is like castrating all good journalists.

© 2009 WorldNetDaily

Lou Dobbs' refusal to drop "birther" stories about challenges to President Obama's constitutional eligibility to hold office was a major source of contention with CNN management, leading the unconventional anchor to walk away from the network and more than $9 million, according to the New York Post.

Dobbs, known for his strong stand against illegal immigration, surprised his loyal viewers Wednesday night by announcing his resignation and offering no indication of his next move.

~snip~
[ ... "Judging, Dobbs by his supporters and critics, I must say he is true
American Patriot, and I am proud of him." BorderRaven said. ... ]

Dobbs said advocacy groups that support illegal aliens and have pressed for him to be fired "have created an atmosphere and have been unrelenting in their propaganda."

Outspoken opponents of Dobbs include the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the National Council of La Raza, Internet media watchdog Media Matters and Geraldo Rivera of Fox News.

[BorderRaven said, "For America to be what America was, America needs Lou Dobbs on TV."]

In his daily column today, WND CEO and Editor Joseph Farah calls Dobbs a "real newsman" whose departure from CNN after 30 years "leaves the network in a state of programming irrelevancy."

"What makes Lou Dobbs so special," Farah writes, "is his independence and fearlessness. Dobbs clearly set his own agenda. He had no interest in the "conventional wisdom" of his industry. Dobbs thinks like a real American newsman – a throwback to an age when journalists actually believed they were watchdogs of government and asked tough questions in the interests of the people."

ARE YOU ANGRY YET?

By Lynn Stuter
November 10, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Tomorrow is Veterans Day, commemorating our men and women who fought (and died) to keep this country free under the Constitution and Bill of Rights established by our Founding Fathers.

On November 4, 2008, Barack Hussein Obama was elected to the office of president of the United States. The evidence grows that Obama is not an American citizen, was not eligible to the office he holds, should never have been allowed on the ballot in any of the 50 states.

1. Not one of the Senators of Representatives in Congress has actually seen Obama's birth certificate. They have seen pictures of a document posted on the internet, but they have not seen the actual birth certificate.

2. Hawaii claims to hold a birth certificate for Obama but that does not mean Obama was born in Hawaii. At the time Obama contends he was born (1961), Hawaii (Act 96, Session Laws of 1911, Special Session of 1909 and the Organic Act) allowed for the birth registration, in Hawaii, of foreign-born children. Until the actual birth certificate is produced and examined; where Obama was actually born is unknown and unproven.

3. No Hawaiian hospital is willing to own up to Obama being born there. Meanwhile, Obama and his half-sister have claimed he was born at two different hospitals. When Obama finally decided he was born at one particular hospital, internet sites set about to "correct" their stories to reflect his unproven claims, including the left-wing website, Snopes.com.

President Obama retook his oath of office Wednesday after Chief Justice John Roberts flubbed while delivering it at Tuesday's inauguration.

The second oath -- also administered by Roberts -- took place at 7:35 p.m.

Wednesday in the White House's Map Room. Roberts asked Obama whether he was ready.

"I am, and we're going to do it very slowly," Obama replied.

Twitter Jitters: Can What You Tweet About Police Land You in Jail?

"SWAT teams rolling down 5th Ave. ... Report received that police are nabbing anyone that looks like a protester. ... Stay alert watch your friends!" Pennsylvania State Police arrested New York social worker Elliot Madison last month for being part of a group that posted messages like those on Twitter. The arrest took place in a Pittsburgh motel during protests at the Group of 20 summit. In all, almost 5,000 protesters demonstrated throughout the city during two days, and about 200 were arrested for disorderly conduct.

But Madison wasn't among those protesting on the street. Instead, published reports say he was part of a behind-the-scenes communications team using Twitter to "direct others, specifically protesters of the G-20 summit, in order to avoid apprehension after a lawful order to disperse." A week later, FBI agents spent 16 hours in Madison's home executing a search warrant for evidence of federal anti-rioting law violations.

Is Barack Obama II an illegitimate child?

http://www.barack-obama-timeline.com/

1959

Barack Obama's father, Barack Obama, Sr., an outstanding Kenyan student, is awarded scholarship from an American program offering Western educational opportunities. At the age of 23 Barack Obama Sr. leaves behind his pregnant Kenyan wife Kezia and their baby son and arrives in the United States to study math and economics at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu. Barack Obama Sr. is the first African student in the university.

Moral Values?

February 2, 1961 - Barack Obama Sr., 25, marries 18 year old Ann Dunham, a white American student he meets in a Russian-language class only a few months earlier. The ceremony takes place at Maui. At the time of their wedding, Ann Dunham is already three months pregnant with Barack Obama, Jr., and she doesn't know Barack Obama Sr. has a wife and children in Kenya. Back in 1961 interracial marriage in the U.S. is rare and in some states illegal. The couple settles in Honolulu.

Obama eligibility case survives 1st court test

A federal judge in California today listened to government lawyers argue that a lawsuit over President Obama's eligibility should be immediately dismissed but refused to grant their request, saying he would make his decision and announce it later.

The result came this morning from U.S. District Judge David Carter, who already has set a tentative trial date for the dispute Jan. 26, 2010. The judge also already had lawyers draw up a tentative schedule for hearings and deadlines in preparation for the trial.

Sharp rise in Chinese arrests at U.S. border

Amid an overall drop in arrests of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S-Mexico border, an intriguing anomaly has cast a new light on human smuggling: Authorities report an almost ten-fold spike in the number of Chinese people caught in the southern Arizona desert, the busiest smuggling corridor on the international line.

The Border Patrol in the Tucson sector has arrested at least 261 Chinese border-crossers this year, compared to an annual average of 32 during the past four years, officials said.

"They are the main [non-Mexicans] we catch," said field operations supervisor Juventino Pacheco of the patrol's international liaison unit in Nogales. "Lately we have been catching more Chinese than Central Americans."

A rivetting screenplay in the works

http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/pending-litigation-hawaii-confirms-that-obamas-vital-records-have-been-amended/#comments

A meeting of the powered elite behind closed doors;
A decision is made by the “illums” that now is the time to push the big domino
A discussion from the meetings messenger with big corporate boss(es);
Money transfers to politcal action reps.
The globalists lay out the strategy, all roads must lead to Rome.
Trash the dollar and the Constitution.
Both Repubican and Democratic candidates to be unconstitutional.
The President at their finger tips should be vulnerable to the bus undercarriage.
Young David appears as rumblings occur regarding the absence of a Birth Certificate. DAVID reads beyond the web posting of the COLB.
What his birth was controlled by the British Crown?!! Can’t be!!!
David speaks softly “He could have been born in the White House and it wouldn’t change the fact that his father was Kenyan at his birth.” (sorry for misquote). Few listen to DAVID.
DAVID gets the run around in New Jersey (obstruction of justice stuff)
But the appeal points him in the direction of the big house of JUSTICE, SCOTUS.
By now the dogs are all over him, sniffing around, getting ready to pounce. Then the train ride. Then the document concealment. Then the homeless guy. Then the radio chatter. Then the thugs. Poor David, how could anyone not soil themself. The document delivered, there is no turning back now, GAME ON!
Dismissal for Berg. Dismissal for Taitz. Dismissal for DvW. Dismissal for Wrotnow.
The electoral vote, no da!
A big celebration bash held by the power elites. Some side conversations about the pesky flees testing their fortress defense.
Then the Chester Arthur discovery. Have we a copycat fraud in the House. The elites talk more seriously about the threat but still with confidence in their well chosen and groomed guards.
They initiate phase 2, what happens when a few intelligent Americans get balls. They create their own threat to stifle the real threat to the USURPER.
Discussions between the elites with the MSM big dogs.
Protect this President Usurper (PU) or we will bring down the whole house.
But DAVID sets up his own dominos, one by one, and at just the right moment starts the chain reaction. He had discovered that the President Usurper was only one domino in the chain. There was a pressure point, a chink in their armor, a particular person who had a particular legal weakness. (Or a bad guy turned good [not as likely])
As the Supreme Court makes its ruling that no “Natural Born Citizen” must ever have been or be born into any possibility for conflict of national allegiance through dual or multiple citizenships,
the public wolves start attacking the accomplices to the “biggest fraud ever perpetrated upon the American people”.
The elites start tumbling down. There are not enough hand coughs to go around.
The announcement of the installment of the Presidency by the VP and the date set by the Supremes for the special election to formally set the the record straight; “The United States Of America shall be a Republic, with the rule of law from its Constitution”
A US Marine commander al decked out in battle gear announces to his troops, “The President has resigned after the Supreme Court ruled that he was not eligible to be The President. Folks, once again get to fight for the real America. Uuraah!”
Close out with DAVID gets to play golf once again.
As he cans a long snake, he does a beautiful fist pump and yells
“YES, WE DID”
———————————————
A long journey begins with the first step.
We need a movie to get more Americans on the subject.
You could make a call for writers to present storyboards or
whatever they call the concepts for their piece.

Thank you!!!!

A hearing Monday is set to determine whether the U.S. Justice Department will get its motion to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to hold the office of president or whether the case will move forward to be heard on its merits.

California judge David Carter scheduled a tentative trial date for the case for Jan. 26, 2010. But, to meet that trial date, the case must survive an Oct. 5 hearing on the Department of Justice motion to dismiss.

New Lawsuit:Looks Like Leo Donofrio may have Hawaii DOH by the Balls!
Posted September 23rd, 2009 by The South

I will be assisting one of my readers in filing litigation in Hawaii state circuit court pursuant to her ongoing request for public information denied by Hawaii officials. (Readers of my blog will recognize her as MissTickly aka TerriK.)

Correspondence sent to TerriK by Hawaii officials indicates that President Obama’s vital records have been amended and official records pertaining thereto are maintained by the state of Hawaii.

I will issue a full statement and press release on behalf of TerriK via this blog in the days ahead. This statement will include a complete history of correspondence between TerriK and Hawaii state officials in the Office of Information Practices (OIP) and the Department of Health (DoH).

DEBUNKING: FactCheck.Org

FactCheck only confuses.

RE: Born in the U.S.A.?
RE: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html

Reply:
Yes, so what if you can get a US State Department passport, good for international travel, using the Hawaii COLB? But, the passport only identifies the bearer as a US citizen, subject to the US Constitution, and all laws and treaties there under.

However, neither the Hawaii COLB, nor a passport based on it, can be used to differentiate between a native citizen, a natural born citizen, or a naturalized citizen.

Only on examination of the vital statistic record(s), and/or a certified copy of the vital statistic record(s), can a determination of the category of citizenship be ascertained.

But, the question remains, what vital statistic records or certified documents were used by the Democratic National Committee to vet Barack Obama for the office of POTUS?

The DNC 2008 Nomination Certificate from Sacramento, CA

I asked a friend in Sacramento, CA, to obtain the document from the CA Secretary of State.

Note the DNC logo is more clear, the same typos, but compared to other documents from DNC, the differences in signatures, indicates a separate, true and original, notarized document was filed with each state.

Is there a grand conspiracy afoot?

Defendants.

PLAINTIFF’S EMERGENCY REQUEST FOR STAY OF DEPLOYMENT
PENDING MOTIONS FOR REHEARING PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE
7.6 and to AMEND and/or ALTER JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 59(e)
Plaintiff Connie Rhodes files this request for stay of Deployment pending

Plaintiff’s Motions for Rehearing and to Amend and/or Alter Judgment
pursuant
to Rule 59(e).

By this Court’s summary grant (on the afternoon of Wednesday, September
16, 2009) of Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (Document #8, filed on Friday
September 11, 2009), Plaintiff was denied her Fifth Amendment right to
due process of law, in particular, by this Court’s violation of Local
Rule 7 of the United States Middle District of Georgia, to wit:

7.2 RESPONSE. Respondent's counsel desiring to submit a
response, brief, or affidavits shall serve the same within twenty (20)
days after service of movant's motion and brief.

Plaintiff was entitled to respond to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss not
sooner than Thursday, October 1, 2009, without penalty or prejudice,
absent a specific warning from the Court of intention to vary from the
local rules. Plaintiff avers that there is increasing evidence that the
United States District Courts in the 11th Circuit are subject to
political pressure, external control, and, mostly likely, subservience
to the same illegitimate chain of command which Plaintiff has previously
protested in this case, except that the de facto President is not even
nominally the Commander-in-Chief of the Article III Judiciary.

The Court in fact had provided the Plaintiff with no such notice of any
intention to vary the procedural framework of the local rules in this
case. The Court should, upon this ground alone, vacate its September 16,
2009, order of dismissal and STAY THE DEPLOYMENT of Plaintiff Connie
Rhodes. Further, both Plaintiff and her counsel were denied meaningful
access to the Courts by the very fact that this Court entered its
September 16, 2009, ruling without reference to any of the key issues
actually raised in Plaintiff’s Complaint or TRO. The fact that the
Court’s 14 page order does not address any actual statements in
Plaintiff’s complaint by page or paragraph number, or any page citation
to her TRO, suggests to a reasonable and objective mind that the Court
either did not read these documents or was summarily instructed by that
same illegitimate “chain of command” alleged above not to address at
least the three key questions asserted in

Plaintiff’s complaint including (1) a U.S. ARMY OFFICER’S OATH TO UPHOLD
THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, (2)

the historical importance of an independent army corps to the
constitutional balance of powers and Republican Form of Government
guaranteed by the Constitution, and (3) the

Ninth Amendment reservation of rights in the people to question the
legitimacy and eligibility of their elected officials when questions
arise from time-to-time which were not contemplated by the Founding
Fathers.

The Court’s failure to address these three key issues again, standing
alone, is suggestive that the executive branch is exercising control
over the Court’s decision-making process, and is a sufficient ground, by
itself, to justify this Court’s grant of an EMERGENCY STAY OF DEPLOYMENT
for at least TEN DAYS until Plaintiff’s Counsel can exercise Plaintiff’s
rights under Local Rule 7.6 of the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Georgia to file her Motion for Reconsideration and
Motion to Amend or Alter Judgment a because it is “absolutely necessary”
within the meaning of Local Rule 7.6 and because the judgment entered
September 16, 2009, is manifestly unjust and incorrect within the
meaning of jurisprudence construing Rule 59(e) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, and will surely result in a VOID JUDGMENT for denial of
due process within the meaning of Rule 60(b)(4) by reason of

the Court’s unexpected wild deviation from the 20 day response period
provided by the Local Rules of this very Middle District of Georgia.

It is reasonably certain that the men who framed the Constitution did
not anticipate the election of a man as a President who appears to have
prevaricated about his place of birth and then ordered his loyal
followers to ridicule all those who questioned the contradictions
inherent in his own biography, such as the obvious fact that his Father
was an (admittedly disloyal and possibly treacherous) Subject of the
British Crown when he was born, even though this fact alone would
disqualify the President as a “natural born citizen”, regardless of his
place of birth.

This Court has threatened the undersigned counsel with sanctions for
advocating that a legally conscious, procedurally sophisticated, and
constitutionally aware army officers corps is the best protection
against the encroachment of anti-democratic, authoritarian,
neo-Fascistic or Palaeo-Communistic dictatorship in this country,
without pointing to any specific language, facts, or allegations of fact
in the Complaint or TRO as frivolous. Rule 11 demands more of the Court
than use of its provisions as a means of suppressing the First Amendment
Right to Petition regarding questions of truly historical, in fact epic
and epochal, importance in the history of this nation.

This Court has threatened the undersigned counsel with sanctions for
failure to present facts, and yet has ignored or disregarded the facts
concerning Barack Hussein Obama's birthplace sub iudice aliena which
were submitted to the Court in the form of the 1961 Hospital Birth
Certificate submitted in the Plaintiff’s request for judicial notice
(Document 10, entered September 11, 2009) in addition the consistent but
later dated Certificate which was submitted as an Exhibit to the
Complaint and original Application for Temporary Restraining Order.
These documents are FACTS and they went unimpeached, unquestioned, and
yet utterly unaddressed in this Court’s order of summary dismissal. The
fact that the President has admitted his Father was not a citizen, but a
British Subject, at the time of birth, is an incontrovertible fact,
which supports Plaintiff’s charges that the President is an alien. The
Court’s opinion ridicules this point, along with the evidence that “the
President is either a wandering nomad or a prolific identity fraud
crook,” (Document 13, Pages 7-8). But in so ruling, albeit in obiter
dicta this Court ignores some of the soundest and most carefully
researched and professionally assembled and presented evidence, collated
and substantiated by a former agent of

England’s Fabled “Scotland Yard”. By its contradictory and condescending
tone, the Court thereby denigrates its own asserted standard of
adherence to evidence as the primary arbiter of legitimacy of any
position asserted in litigation.

Plaintiff submits that the clear preponderance of the credible evidence
is that, in quite a few ways, Defendant Barack Hussein Obama has toyed
with and manipulated his identity in order to obtain the President, and
therefore won the “hard fought” Presidential Campaign of 2008 by fraud
and trickery against the American People. The Court should reconsider
the seriousness of its swift dismissal of this Plaintiff’s claims.

Plaintiff submits that to advocate a breach of constitutional oaths to
uphold the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is in
fact a very practical form of “adhering” to those enemies, foreign and
domestic, and thus is tantamount to treason, as Defined in Article III,
Section 3, even when pronounced in Court. The People of the United
States deserve better service and loyalty from the most powerful, and
only life-tenured, officers of their government.

The Court’s failure to address the facts which this Plaintiff has
offered into evidence constitutes a Third Set of Independent grounds for
vacating the September 16, 2009 Order of Dismissal and Entry of Judgment
in Defendants’ favor, and of granting this Plaintiff at least a ten day
Emergency Stay of Deployment Pending Motions for

Rehearing Pursuant to Local Rule 7.6 and to Amend and/or Alter Judgment
Pursuant to Rule 59(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Finally, Plaintiff Captain Connie Rhodes submits that the Court has
misunderstood that she has no objection to obeying the de facto
Commander-in-Chief’s orders via chain of command within the United
States. Plaintiff Captain Connie Rhodes clarifies that she objects to
every order entered under the authority of this illegitimate regime.
Plaintiff merely clarifies that she believes herself to be at risk of
international prosecution for war crimes absent protection of the Geneva
Convention if she follows this particular Commander-in-Chief’s wartime
policy abroad. The situation in Iraq may indeed be much the same as it
was a year ago under a different President and Commander-in-Chief, but
the international status of that President as Commander-in-Chief may be
radically different owing to the frauds, which led to his election victory.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Captain Connie Rhodes asks and requests this Court
retract and vacate its sarcastic and biting dismissal of September 16,
2009, and grant her EMERGENCY REQUEST FOR STAY OF DEPLOYMENT PENDING
MOTIONS FOR REHEARING PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 7.6 and to AMEND OR ALTER
JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 59(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Plaintiff asks this Court to take Judicial Notice of the “Fact” that
both Local Rule 7.6 and Rule 59(e) allow ten business days from the
entry of an order to be reconsidered, or for

which amendment or alteration is sought. Accordingly, absent judicial
warning to the contrary, for good and just cause, Plaintiff expects that
she should have ten Court

business days, which is to say until September 30, 2009, to file her
Motions for Reconsideration and to Amend or Alter Judgment, although it
would be just and right and therefore authorized by law for the Court to
vacate its own judgment of dismissal immediately and simultaneously
grant this Plaintiff’s Emergency Request for Stay of Deployment.

Respectfully submitted,

THURSDAY September 17, 2009

Soldier ordered not to challenge Obama's eligibility?

Army doctor claims she was barred from answering judge's call to court

Military litigation team attending emergency hearing

Capt. Connie Rhodes, who claimed her superiors had prevented her from attending her previous, emergency court hearing, finally stood before a judge today to question the constitutional eligibility of her commander in chief.

Rhodes, a medical doctor and Army officer, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Columbus, Ga., earlier this month, requesting a restraining order preventing her deployment overseas on the basis that the top of the chain of command, President Barack Obama, has not demonstrated himself to be a natural born citizen under the U.S. Constitution.

Judge questions Orly Taitz claims to have Obama birth certificate in hearing where Army officer fights deployment

During a hearing in U.S. District Court Monday, an attorney for an Army officer fighting deployment to Iraq questioned Barack Obama’s legal right to serve as president, asserting he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii.

Judge Clay Land, inquisitive throughout the 90-minute hearing, said he will issue a decision on Capt. Connie Rhodes’ request for a temporary restraining order by noon Wednesday 9/19/09.

Rhodes was represented by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer and a national figure in the “birther” movement that claims Obama does not meet the qualifications to be president.

Government asks judge to dismiss complaint

A motion filed Friday by the government in the case of Capt. Connie Rhodes, who seeks to avoid deployment by challenging the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency, asks a federal judge to dismiss the complaint.

Rhodes, who filed her complaint Sept. 4 in the Columbus Division of U.S. District Court, is represented by attorney Orly Taitz — a national figure in the “birther” movement. Both are expected to appear at a noon hearing today before Judge Clay Land, who postponed a hearing on the complaint Friday because he said he wanted to hear from Rhodes, who wasn’t present.

In her complaint, Rhodes argues that some facts point to Obama not being naturalized or possibly an illegal immigrant.

“This plaintiff cannot in good conscience obey orders originating from a chain of command from this merely de facto president,” Rhodes’ complaint states. “This plaintiff cannot be lawfully compelled to obey this de facto president’s orders.”

Ture Conspiracy: What prior knowledge did Pelosi have about BHO?

Online images for certification of nomination raise questions

A commentator at Canada Free Press says he has obtained copies of two documents apparently prepared by Democrats to certify Barack Obama as their nominee for president in 2008 that suggest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew there was an unresolved issue with his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution.

Writer JB Williams describes himself as a "no nonsense commentator on American politics, American history, and American philosophy." And he say's he's gotten possession of copies of the documents in question.

The first includes a verification that Obama and Joe Biden, then-candidate for vice president, "are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution."

Federal Judge rules police cannot detain people for openly carrying guns

Just respect the Constitution - its that simple!

On September 8, 2009, United States District Judge Bruce D. Black of the United States District Court for New Mexico entered summary judgment in a civil case for damages against Alamogordo, NM police officers. The Judge's straight shootin' message to police: Leave open carriers alone unless you have "reason to believe that a crime [is] afoot."

The facts of the case are pretty simple. Matthew St. John entered an Alamogordo movie theater as a paying customer and sat down to enjoy the movie. He was openly carrying a holstered handgun, conduct which is legal in 42 states, and requires no license in New Mexico and twenty-five other states. Learn more here.

Hillary fed up?

Hillary Clinton is said to be frustrated with her lack of authority as secretary of state and resentful of the glacial pace of the White House vetting process. "

President Obama's picks fly in even if they didn't pay their taxes. But her picks take forever," noted one Democrat. "Plus, she has no real clout over Holbrooke or Mitchell."

Richard Holbrookeis Obama's "special representative" for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

George Mitchell is "special envoy" to the Middle East. Clinton is said to be considering quitting to retake her old US Senate seat now held by Kristin Gillibrand-- or running for governor, as one rumor has it. "Her argument will be that Gillibrand is in danger of losing the seat to the Republicans," said a source. But Gillibrand won't voluntarily step aside, unlike Rep.

Nita Lowey, whom Clinton nudged out of the race in 2000. "You couldn't blow Gillibrand out of that seat with dynamite," said our source. Clinton's rep did not get back to us by deadline.

Is this the footprint of baby Barack Obama?

A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.

If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue.

In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly served notice ...

Impose federal mandated standards on every state

Michelle C
September 5, 2009 7:34PM EST

Now that the Federal judge has refused any delay in implementation of mandatory E-Verification system for all government contractors. It is time to impose federal mandated standards on every state and local government as well, not to forget every business nationwide. But not on a voluntary basis anymore? For once the open border, globalists lawsuits have been finally opposed by the courts. But we cannot, must not allow them to gain the advantage again, as they have in the past. We must in addition fight against any path to citizenship. It will be a running battle against special interest groups contrary to unemployed citizens and legal residents. In 1986 the immigration control and reform act became law, but was undermined, mismanaged and severely under funded. What we had was an important piece of legislation that was disregarded and used fraudulently.

GOOGLE--NUMBERSUSA & JUDICIAL WATCH FOR MORE DETAILS.

Instead of moving towards another controversial new immigration reform law, the legislators can author amendments to the Simpson/Mazzoli bill? First and foremost it requires no more Amnesties? Next! Follow the example of Australia's and now the United Kingdom's strong opposition to mass immigration. Overwhelmed by slack laws, Britain and Australia have addressed the massive problem, by allowing only the well educated, tradesman and professional people into each nation. Unlike ourselves the
US politicians have catered to big business—IN CORPORATE WELFARE--and covertly removed any serious enforcement at the borders or ports of entry. Years of intentional apathy and self indulgence has allowed the tolerant invasion of destitute foreign workers and families, costing taxpayers trillions of dollars in welfare benefits. The Border States specifically have succumbed to millions of illegal occupiers who have drained government treasuries.

A public option in health care can never be, while taxpayers are forever opening their wallets to supporting the poor of other lands? We cannot afford to subsidize foreign workers anymore? The bill has no restriction in the wording to authenticate a persons legal status. Personally, I want a single payer system to stop the profiteering by insurance companies, but I don't want to be taxed for underwriting illegal immigrants and their families? Even if they add an amendment declining illegal immigrants from the health care bill, they will still be included if the Democrats enact another path to citizenship?

Then what about the others on the opposite side of our weak fence, they will hear the Amnesty bell chiming and rush for the border, or enter as tourists in an airport.
Allowing people into America as guest workers to work in agriculture became a parody. Given amnesty in 1986 they moved away from the fields and moved to higher paying jobs bring in their immediate family members. In 1986 the 3.5 million legalized people fraudulently materialized to be 5 million.

Today under labor laws the guest workers who enter under special visas, are
supposed to return to their country of origin? This of course never happens and therefore hundreds of thousands disappear into America and then farmers must import more to pick fruits and vegetables. Mandatory E-Verify, to control illegal immigration on a nationwide grand scale would drive foreign aliens from the workplace, when they are identified.

The career politician’s who cheat taxpayers by prostituting their services to big business, must not stay in Washington to defy public voices ever again. A POSSIBLE REWARD FOR REPORTING SUSPECTED EMPLOYERS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, CALL THE IRS HOTLINE 1-800-829-0433 GOOGLE their website! The IRS does not take kindly to employers that seek to evade taxes by paying cash for day labor as this is especially common practice at construction sites.

Call up the politicians you voted for at 202-224-3121 and tell them NO MORE AMNESTIES!. YES TO A PERMANENT E-VERIFY! BUILD THE ORIGINAL TWO-TIER FENCE! ENFORCE THE 1986 (IRCA) IMMIGRATION LAW THAT'S ON THE BOOKS. DON'T OVERPOPULATE
AMERICA!

Arpaio’s dislike of Goddard propels look at governor run

Phoenix Business Journal - by Mike Sunnucks


Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s interest in a 2010 run for governor is fueled in part by his rivalry with Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, according to sources who asked not to be identified.

Goddard is expected to be the Democratic nominee for governor next year.

The AG is investigating the Sheriff’s Command Association for possible state election law violations. SCA’s contributors include some real estate developers and business executives and is headed by Joel Fox, a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office captain. Fox denies wrongdoing and Arpaio stresses SCA had no direct connection to his campaign.

A depiction of the sign banned by Officer Cheeks


"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health-care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a security officer threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama.

The officer's response?

"It ain't no more, OK?"

Get the prescription for reclaiming America's heritage of liberty – before the what the officer said is true – Joseph Farah's "Taking America Back," autographed only at the WND SuperStore.

A video of the town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., shows an unnamed protester standing on school grounds carrying a sign that read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care – The Final Solution" and depicted Barack Obama in the Joker's makeup.

Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. then told the protester that even though others were holding signs, his sign was unacceptable because of the depiction of Obama.

"But you got this with a picture," Cheeks said, explaining why the protester was being singled out from the others. "That's the difference. This has got a picture on it. That don't have a picture on it.

"Sir, leave the picture down," the officer said. "If you put the picture back up,
you'll be charged with trespassing."

FRACTURES IN THE FOUNDATION: THE LATINO WORKER’S

PRESS RELEASE
In observance of Labor Day, NCLR (National Council of La Raza), the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, will hold a conference call releasing Fractures in the Foundation: The Latino Worker’s Experience in an Era of Declining Job Quality. This report provides a glimpse into the dangerous consequences of not enforcing strong workplace standards. The alarming rate of Latino workplace deaths helps tell the story of the unsafe conditions that millions of workers are subjected to every day. As our nation rebuilds its economy, we must also restore the dignity of work.

Fairy lights are strung along the route to Saif al Islam al Gaddafi’s home, west of Tripoli.

It is 10pm at night, but the city skyline is sparkling ahead of the 40th anniversary celebrations next Tuesday of his father’s ascent to power.

Before we reach his house in the countryside, there are countless small road blocks, but they make for a stark contrast to the warm welcome at his red stone villa.

Personable, relaxed, smiling, Mr al Gaddafi welcomes us with open arms. We sit and drink hot tea from tiny translucent glasses embossed with gold leaves and semi-precious stones, beneath high-arched ceilings covered in beautiful mosaic tiling.

It is difficult to know what to expect of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s son, but this is not it.

The second eldest son of the Libyan leader, Mr al Gaddafi has become the public face of the country in the West. Tipped to succeed his father, he has consistently denied this ambition and said that Libya is not his country to “inherit”.

For the past eight years, he has worked quietly to get Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, home to Tripoli. Last week, he was understandably delighted with the news that Megrahi was to be released on compassionate grounds, but he is now concerned at the “misunderstandings” that have followed, with victims’ relatives and politicians across the globe lining up to attack Kenny MacAskill for the decision, and Gordon Brown for not stating his case.

ACLU Files Lawsuit on Border Laptop Searches

ACLU Files Lawsuit on Border Laptop Searches

Grant Gross, IDG News Service

Aug 26, 2009 12:00 pm

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit demanding that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) release details of its policy that allows the agency to search travelers' laptops at U.S. borders without suspicion of wrongdoing.

The ACLU's lawsuit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, is an effort to get CBP to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that the civil liberties group filed in June about the laptop-search policy. The agency has not supplied any information, although the FOIA law requires it to give a response within 30 days, said Catherine Crump, staff attorney with the ACLU First Amendment Working Group.

The FOIA request and the lawsuit seek details about the laptop search policy, including how many laptops have been searched since the CBP instituted its search policy last year, Crump said. "Traveling with a laptop shouldn't mean the government gets a free pass to rifle through your personal papers," she said.

The ACLU and other civil liberties groups have complained that the CBP policy violates the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, protecting U.S. citizens against unreasonable search and seizure.

The ACLU also wants to know how many laptops and electronic devices CBP has seized, how long CBP has kept those devices, and statistics about the race and ethnicity of the people whose laptops have been seized, according to the ACLU's FOIA request.
One Muslim group complained in April that CBP has unfairly targeted Muslim, Arab and South Asian Americans for laptop searches.

"The goal is that the public should have enough information to evaluate the risks of crossing the border with a laptop," Crump said. "It would be helpful to the public if they could evaluate whether this policy makes Americans any safer."

The press office of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CBP's parent agency, didn't immediately respond to a request for comments on the ACLU lawsuit.

CBP has asserted that it can search all files, including financial documents and Web browsing history, on travelers' laptops and electronic devices "absent individualized suspicion." The agency does need probable cause that a crime has been committed to seize a device.

The CBP policy also allows the agency to conduct searches of "documents, books, pamphlets and other printed material, as well as computers, disks, hard drives and other electronic or digital storage devices," without suspicion of a crime.

Several Democratic members of the U.S. Congress have pushed for a change in the policy. The requested documents would be "enormously useful" for lawmakers debating the CBP policy, Crump said.
