Army Captain challenges deployment; questions Obama’s eligibility

Attorney Orly Taitz had another day in court on Monday. She is representing a Fort Benning soldier who is challenging the lawfulness of her orders to deploy to Iraq because she wants clarification on Obama’s birth certificate.

Captain Connie Rhodes, a medical doctor, will have to wait one more day before hearing the judge's decision in her case.

Originally, Judge Clay Land had scheduled an emergency hearing on Friday, in Columbus, Georgia, in order to hear Rhodes’ case.  However, the Army forbade Rhodes from leaving her unit in Fort Riley, Kansas, where she had reported for duty.

Rhodes was sent to Fort Benning in time for today’s day in court.

"We need to see how will it be done. She (Rhodes) just wants to make sure that she is serving the remainder of her three term--which is only 1 year under lawful orders," said Attorney Orly Taitz, Captain Rhode's Lawyer, "Dr. Rhodes does not want to make any statements as to what she will do in the future. We will have to see what or how the orders or what is the decision that will come from judge land."

Attorney for the Army, Major Rebecca Ausprung pressed her point in court that the orders are in fact lawful and the Rhodes should not be concerned with the person giving the orders - meaning Barack Obama.

Well, excuse me, Major Ausprung, but I do believe Captain Rhodes has every right in the world to be concerned about the validity of her orders.  It’s her life that is at stake here.

Judge Land says he will issue a written ruling by Wednesday (September 16) at noon.

I am really impressed with Orly’s persistence in this whole saga of the missing birth certificate.  While other lawyers have fallen by the wayside and taken the time to criticize Orly on her legal expertise and behavior, she has marched on undaunted. 

You know, I have always believed that form follows function (not the reverse).  So, if it is the function, or purpose, of these court challenges and lawsuits to force the so-called president to prove he is eligible for the position he now holds, and considering this has never been an issue before, then I guess that the form of the plaintiff must be the correct one, because there appears to be progress. 

In other bc news, Orly also has a tentative court date scheduled in California for a hearing on another case. If this hearing goes forth, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court.

The birthers, the tea baggers, the screamers, and the deathers continued extreme minority presence will become tiresome to mainstream America, if it has not already done so. To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true, if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess they were in on it. In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”. I heard that she now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC).

Barack Obama is his own worse witness. It is his insistance on hiding his identity records that assure us he is hiding from the truth. These are dangerous times with changes to our government that are not provided in our Constitution. Jesus said to watch, so your house will not be broken up.

See http://www.divine-way.com for charges and evidences against Barack Obama in other charges than this, court style and also many dangers and how to fight them NOW.

I'm so glad I got OUT of the LOONEY LEFT DONKEY KONG party B4 they started with their barackoolaid-drip!

Holy Crime & Drama!! With ACORN perversions and video of crimes still awaiting their court date the damn BC is the least of my concerns.

I'd like to see some of his COLLEGE transcripts and loan approval paper work. Did he scam the system (like his acorn trainees so proudly boasted) and try entering under false pretense as to be an EXCHANGE STUDENT thus getting more benefits? Why not show us your thesis? How to destroy AMerica in 100 days? Ok that may be a fib but the REST could surely be true!

He's lied about 99.9 percent of everything he's promised or professed anyway so why start being honest now? HAHAH! YOU LIE BAMBI!! WE all know it!

So, sorry your world is falling apart, mine is fine thank you. We are all adults here, and as adults we know there are consequences for are actions, so if you do not agree with his policies, you can a) do nothing, b) support him, c) not support him, d) protest and picket, its your choice, live the dream! Orly Taitz, Joe Wilson are just bigots, plain and simple.

Uh, I hope Rhodes enjoys a very long stay in Afghanistan. Great legal representation, by the way. Orly has a way with Federal judges, that's for sure.

When's Orly gonna prove that she's a US citizen?

The Bush appointed judge in this case just issued a $20,000 fine to Taitz for pushing a political agenda instead of filing an actual legal motion...Additionally, Rhodes should be court martialed for, at a minimum, stupidity and then sent to Iraq and then Afghanistan for a minimum of 3 tours...Birthers, tea baggers, whatever, get a job and if you lose your job upgrade your education and stop whining about "boogey men..."
