Berg v. Obama: The Day of Reckoning

Thomas J. Latino, Esq.

Thomas.latino@biotechcapitalgroup.com

The deadline has come and gone. At 5pm Eastern Standard Time, yesterday, December 1st, 2008 the case of Berg v. Obama reached a seminal moment. Yesterday was the deadline for the Obama legal team to file their response to the
 Berg Petition for a Writ of Certiorari. There was nothing. According to the Supreme Court's docket for the case nothing was filed overnight. Mr. Obama has done what hasn't been done before, he has made history twice, Mr. Obama has blatantly ignored a request from the Supreme Court of the United States—our highest and most revered legal institution; Mr. Obama, quiet frankly has thumbed his nose at the highest court in our land.

Being an attorney, I know full well that Rule 11 of the United States Supreme Court does not specifically dictate a Respondent file a reply brief "unless specifically ordered by the Court"—and to be fair we have no evidence to show that Mr. Obama was indeed ordered by the Court to produce such a reply. However, it is out of sheer reverence and respect for the institution, if not to underscore the merits of your case and the lacking of your opponents' that almost ALL Respondents file some sort of reply with the court. Mr. Obama's actions yesterday reek of a type of arrogance that even I as an attorney never displayed to any court nor have I ever witnessed such flippant behavior during my legal career.

This is not some low level circuit court; this is the United States Supreme Court. Why would the Obama legal team find it necessary to work so diligently in the Federal Court in Pennsylvania filing Motions to Dismiss and Protective Orders and not even file a Waiver of Rights with the Supreme Court? One can surmise two logical possible explanations for Mr. Obama's strategy: (1) Mr. Obama is putting all his chips on the hopes that 4 justices will view Mr. Berg's petition as laughable and deny his Petition for the Writ and (2) Refer to #1.

Excuse me IF Obama showed his real certificate to the DNC and the Fed Elec Com then why did he use his sister's falsified one on the net? You who think this is all kosher are in for a huge surprise at some point. It will not be the courts that surprise you. Obama is a globalist, probably will issue "the mark", could be the false profit.

It is obvious to me that the courts are concerned with technicalities and not substance. Obama never certified to a single state his credentials. The judges are a bunch of chickens, and their power is being undermined by themselves. If they do not know the Constitution or do not care, there is nothing left. We might as well have left Sadam in power, vote for Osama, and flee to the back woods (with our guns).

Hey XDisk, "Your guy lost"...Excuse me, Phil Berg is a life long staunch democrat, who supported Hillary Clinton. He was a democrat party chairman for the state of PA (I believe). He is an American who is first concerned with perserving and upholding the constituitin of these United States. This is not about our guy/ your guy. This is about the Article 2 of the US Constituition.

the results in 2000 were looked at over and over by major news sources and other than democrates who claimed they were robbed all of them agree that the results were correct. How about letting all the major news sources look at obama's birth certificate and make a ruling. That will not happen.

"In the event that We the People find out that our new president has been shoehorned into the Whitehouse..." LOL. That's exactly what was being said in 2000! Now, something a about shoe? Other foot?

Why is there no record of a Stanley Ann Durham Obama as a patient at Kapiolani Medical Center for Woman and Children in Honolulu or any other hospital in Hawaii in 1961? Why doesn't Obama snap his fingers and release his birth certificate on file by the State of Hawaii and be done with this matter? Why would Obama's grandmother say she was there at a hospital in Kenya when Barry was born? Why has the government of Kenya seize birthing information on medical files for 1961 at that same hospital in Kenya? Darn as to why inquiring minds keep asking these embarrassing pregnant questions.

Obama had to give copies of his birth cert to the Federal Election Commission and the Democratic Headquarters. If it's good enough for them it should be good enough for Berg. Besides,Berg has only seen pictures on the internet. They have copies in hand. If you want to get technical about it McCain was born in Panama and there is some question as to his eligibility. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23415028/ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/28/us/politics/28mccain.html http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/citizen.asp And, just like with Obama, there's some nut job lawyer contesting McCain's citizenship. Poor losers suck. Obama won. Your guy lost. Deal with it. Turn off your computer, get out of mommy's basement, and get a little fresh air. Trust me it'll do you some good. X.
