Berg files another lawsuit, claims Obama is an "Illegal Alien"

[PatGund]

9/11 "truther" and PITA Philip J. Berg, a disgruntled Clinton supporter who filed a suit against Sen. Obama and the DNC trying to get Obama off the ticket, has filed a new lawsuit in US District Court for the District of Columbia.

His previous lawsuit was dismissed in Federal Court and the US Court of Appeals, and is now on Justice Souter's desk as an appeal to the US Supreme Court. That lawsuit claimed that Barack Obama could not be president due to Berg's claim that he is not a US citizen due to either birth in Kenya or adoption in Indonesia.

The current lawsuit is a fraud claim stating that Barack Obama was improperly elected senator due to his "not being a US citizen", and asks the court to remove him from office and force a return of his senatorial salary and all other monies paid him as a senator. He's using the same "evidence" he appended to the Supreme Court appeal - claims from a fundamentalist "bishop" and a supposed interview with Obama's step-grandmother in Kenya, as well as the Indonesian school record that supposely "proves" he's an Indonesian citizen.

It's case 1:08-cv-01933-RWR on the PACER system.

Expect the freepers and other scum-suckers to be jumping all over this ASAP.......

1. Can't he be declared a vexatious litigant?

Such people are forbidden from filing lawsuits due to a pattern of frivilous lawsuits.

[leftynyc]

4. I beleive that's already happened to him

Let him and the freepers chase their tails all they want. It keeps them busy while the rest of us try and pull the country out of the mess the Bush administration has put us in.

[nxylas]

12. So how is he still filing suits?

Sorry, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know how these things work.

[kestrel91316]

17. If he IS already a vexatious litigant, he's violating a court order every

time he files without court permission.

I got sued in a huge federal lawsuit several years ago and it was the LAST case that psycho ever filed. I never even hired an attorney, just let all the other parties' attorneys whittle away at the case and get dismissed from it (40+ defendants, lol), until there was just little ol' me left, and the federal judge wrote me a letter that was, like, WHY is she suing you and WTF is going on, lol. I told my side of the story in a letter to him and that was the end of that. Dismissed with prejudice. Ruled a VL.

The woman invoved whan an attention-seeking cat rescue psycho, malignant narcissist, sociopath, whatever. Total nutball. The original suit and all her filings were hilarious reading.

[PatGund]

20. He's not one yet....

Anti-Semite Andy Martin is a vexatious litigant, but Berg isn't one yet

Yet

[leftynyc]

35. Oy - you're right

I confused two different whackos. That said, I hope Berg goes broke trying all this nonsense.

[leftynyc]

42. Someone needs to file a professional conduct complaint

We scum-sucking, bottom-feeding subhumans known as lawyers are subject to a code of ethical conduct. While there are small variations in some states, the basic code promulgated by the American Bar Association is in effect in every state and DC. The enforcement process can vary wildly, though.

Someone needs to file a conduct complaint with the appropriate oversight body in Pennsylvania and any other states where Berg is licensed (check NJ, Delaware, and DC). Actions which tend to bring discredit upon the legal profession constitute grounds for discipline, which can be as lenient as a private reprimand or as severe as disbarrment.

[PatGund]

44. The funny thing is....

Anti-semite Andy Martin is doing just that. I guess he didn't like Berg stealing his thunder.

Rock 'em Sock 'em wingbats......

[Bicoastal]

2. Is Berg manipulating the system and fear-mongering? Or does he really believe his own BS?

And more importantly, how soon before he's disbarred for clogging up the system with ridiculous lawsuits?

[Alter Ego]

3. This Berg guy is a fucking nutcase.

We have padded rooms and straitjackets for people like him.

[Maeve]

14. I hear Jackie Gleason's voice "You..are a ment'l case!"

And Berg has more right to that title than Norton ever did...

[cali]

5. Can you spell :"frivolous lawsuit"?

[MyNameGoesHere]

6. President Obama, Do not close GITMO yet. You have a volunteer

that is dying to go there.

[Starry Messenger]

7. Wow. Talk about a hero in your own mind.

Just think of what this guy could accomplish if he actually put all that drive and energy into something, I don't know...sane.

[shraby]

8. We have Reagan to thank for people like

him being on the loose..Reagan closed the insane asylums which put incompetent people out on the streets.

[AtomicKitten]

9. Ironically it is McLoser that wasn't born in the U.S.

[Robeson]

10. Can the judge order a mental evaluation on this guy?...

...he sounds unhinged.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

21. He obviously is unhinged. Good God. Can we please get him some help? He's crazy.

[SurfingAtWork]

11. They have been for about a week now. There is also another lawsuit from some asshat

In NJ they are also licking their chops about. The more the merrier IMO. I will consume their disappointment like the sweetest candy when these end up not panning out.

[bluestateguy]

15. To be fair, we on the Left chased a lot of blind alleys the last 8 years

I won't name them here, as I don't want to get into the weeds with another discussion/fight, but in any event, all the blind alleys led us astray for years.

It is heartening to see them making the same mistakes now too.

[PatGund]

24. Ah, yes.....

Leo Donofrio's lawsuit. He's now accusing Supreme Court clerks of "sabotaging" his case.

Donofrio's case is a bit different from Berg's, he's claiming that having a parent that's a citizen of another country is a automatic bar to be president due to "divided loyalty", and that the 14th amendment doesn't really grant "natural born" citizenship status, just citizenship. It's a "tiered citizenship" arguement that claims someone can be born in the US and be a citizen, but not a "Natural-born" citizen

[TheKentuckian]

13. Mr Berg, even if you ever have standing the burden of proof is on you

and you have nothing. Have fun chasing your tail.

[kestrel91316]

16. Eventually he will be declared a vexatious litigant and then get OFFICIALLY

laughed out of court every time he files more of this crap. And then he'll go to jail.

[Dr. Strange]

18. I think he may be right.

I don't want to start any rumors, but I've heard that Obama wasn't born in the US:

[whistler162]

31. Actually Obama admitted as much at the Al Smith dinner.

[Dr. Strange]

43. That's right!

He did, didn't he?

Last Obama of Krypton! :rofl:

[TheCoxwain]

19. What next? Obama is actually a Scary Space Alien who looks looks like this ?

[Sebastian Doyle]

22. So what the Hell does Berg want, exactly?

He can't want the PNAC Repukes in charge, if he believes in MIHOP. He obviously hates Obama with an obsession. Who the fuck does he think should be President?

[PatGund]

25. Well, his arguments during the primaries.....

....was that Obama drop out so "properly vetted" Sen. Clinton could become the nominee.

After the primaries, his case was originally to force the DNC to drop Sen. Obama from consideration due to citizenship questions.

Before election day, it was trying to stall or postpone the election.

Now? The focus is trying to get the electoral college to overturn the election.

Curiously enough, fellow wingnut, anti-semite Andy Martin, thinks Berg is a "Obama plant" trying to discredit the anti-Obama movement. As if they needed help.

[Starry Messenger]

29. Awesome. I love crank feuds.

It's so rare you get to see one played out in public like this. Thank you for keeping us updated.

[MagickMuffin]

23. Barack admitted he IS an Illegal Alien.... "I'm from the planet Krypton!"

:rofl:

Maybe Berg needs to use this as proof that Barack isn't a US citizen.


edit: typo in title

[PatGund]

26. Well.....

...his original lawsuit contained a "Canadian Birth Certificate" as proof......

.....he didn't notice it was signed by JFK and Dudley DoRight though.

[Deep13]

27. Jesus Christ.

:banghead:

[Sebastian Doyle]

30. He wasn't born here either

Somebody wrote in that "PA" after "Bethlehem" on His birth certificate.

[Starry Messenger]

28. I just found a blog on FR that wants to donate money to run an ad in support of Berg.

I don't want to link to them here, but they are called We the People Foundation. They are going to run it in USA Today. Insane in the membrane.

[PatGund]

38. Yeah....

They're demanding that Obama turn over the documents they demand at the National Press Club on a certain day, or withdraw from consideration as President.

They've collected about $6000. An ad runs around $85k.....

[Starry Messenger]

40. Sounds like something out of Austin Powers.

I read the ad. Its breathlessly unhinged. Do they not know what they sound like to regular people? Even Freepers are rolling their eyes at other Freepers at how crazy this is.

[Danger Mouse]

32. Ah, he's a MIHOPer. In other words, a moron.

34. my god, where do they get these wackos?

He was born here, so I think he's good to go. What a waste of court time.

[happychatter]

36. this shit will NEVER cease... the MSM isn't going to pick it up much

it's all a bit dangerous and really angers me

it's going to continue for eight years... and I think we have better things to focus our energy on...

every crackpot bit of BS out of the nether realm doesn't deserve our concern...

[elleng]

37. 'msm' doesn't have to;

41. This guy is going to get disbarred
