Obama Birth Certificate News Round-up

UPDATES at end of story.
UPDATE #1 - working.

The Obama birth certificate issue may become an issue.

Phillip Berg may have had his case dismissed in a Philadelphia federal court for lack of standing, but cases filed in the last few weeks in eight state courts are still pending over Barack Obama's citizenship issues.

Berg says he plans on appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Our opinion: the appeal will likely be denied, due to the standing issue.

Berg filed suit in court to force the Democrat nominee to produce an original "vault" copy of his birth certificate. Obama and the Democratic National Committee chose to fight the lawsuit, rather than produce the birth certificate.

Obama left the campaign trail for a few days last week to see his ailing grandmother in Hawaii. Rumors swelled over the timing of the visit. DBKP took the campaign's announcement at face value.

Yesterday, it was reported that the Hawaii Governor, Linda Lingle, has had the Obama birth certificate placed under seal.

From Obama's birth certificate sealed by Hawaii governor:

HONOLULU, Hawaii – Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation – and even several lawsuits – WND has learned that Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.

The governor's office officially declined a request made in writing by WND in Hawaii to obtain a copy of the hospital-generated original birth certificate of Barack Obama.

A source told World Net Daily "...confidentially the motivation for withholding the original birth certificate was political, although the source refused to disclose whether there was any information on the original birth certificate that would prove politically embarrassing to Obama."

Meanwhile, Kenyan authorities told WND that "all documents concerning Obama were under seal until after the U.S. presidential election on November 4."

Odd though the above situation may be, there's no need to invent rumors, as Jeff Schreiber notes.

From Addressing the Rumors Surrounding Surrick's Decision:

The newest thing, I see, is that the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick somehow was implored to decide as he did in the Berg v. Obama suit, that the memorandum and order was somehow thrust upon him by a former law clerk who now works closely with Michelle Obama. Fax transmissions shown on the readily-available document have been called into question, as though the judge was sent the decision he was supposed to render.

To which Schreiber replies, "People, come on."

We couldn't agree more.

There's enough questions surrounding this issue without manufacturing any: such as impugning the judge involved. Phillip Berg was always going to have the standing issue against him--whether you agreed with the thrust of his lawsuit or not.

The standing doctrine is crystal clear. The law, in this case, was on the side of Barack Obama and the DNC when it came down to the procedural details. To prevail, Berg needed Judge Surrick to play the role of judicial activist and expand the law as it stands today. I've noted before that the standing doctrine had changed over time, but just because the judge [unfortunately] declined to change it again, we cannot simply assume that he was somehow coerced to uphold the law.

The campaign may not have addressed this issue--just as it has not addressed the issue of not releasing Obama's medical, college and university records--by providing a copy of Obama's original birth certificate.

ALSO at DBKP: Obama's Refusal to Release Medical, Other Records

* Obama Records: Obama Medical, College, University, Other Records Still Hidden
* Obama College, Medical, Birth Records: Who is Barack Obama?
* Obama Medical Records: MSM’s Don’t Ask, Obama’s Don’t Tell Policy
* Obama Records: Obama Campaign Still Refuses to Release Medical, Other Records

But that won't stop people from noting the behavior and secretive nature of the Obama campaign.

It also won't stop people from talking about it.
