Eligibility judge quotes famous Santa case in FL

Florida judge blatantly violates the law, with apparent impunity.
.
“It’s truly ‘remarkable’ and an affront to the rule of law and all our founding fathers and colonial America fought and risked and gave their lives for. This type of conduct by the establishment, which thinks it can do as it pleases without consequences, is why we have entered into a revolutionary state 236 years after we declared independence from the king. They will soon from We the People learn that there are consequences.” — Counsel Larry Klayman

A real-life Florida judge has paraphrased a statement from the fictional Judge Henry X. Harper in “Miracle on 34th Street” to justify his sudden decision to dismiss a challenge under state law to Barack Obama’s eligibility to occupy the Oval Office.
The ruling from Kevin Carroll of the Florida circuit court for Leon County dismissed the case brought on behalf of Democratic voter Michael C. Voeltz, who raised the issue of Obama’s qualifications under a state law that allows voters to challenge candidates’ eligibility.
Carroll, who had given the plaintiffs until Dec. 23 to respond to Obama’s motion to dismiss the case, changed his mind and abruptly Thursday ordered the case dismissed.
He explained that the fact the government says Obama is qualified to be president is more than enough for him.
“This court notes that President Obama lives in the White House. He flies on Air Force One. He has appeared before Congress, delivered State of the Union addresses and meets with congressional leaders on a regular basis. He has appointed countless ambassadors to represent the interests of the United States throughout the world,” Carroll wrote.
“As this matter has come before the court at this time of the year it seems only appropriate to paraphrase the ruling rendered by the fictional Judge Henry X. Harper from New York in open court in the classic holiday film ‘Miracle on 34th St.’ ‘Since the United States Government declares this man to be president, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed.’”
It was the second time in eligibility cases that a judge appears to have abandoned legal fundamentals and simply ruled for Obama on no particular basis.
Several years ago it was Judge James Robertson in Washington who dismissed a case because, he wrote, “The issue of the president’s citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama’s two-year campaign for the presidency.”
Carroll’s ruling also did not address the fact that in the movie, the judge was determining that a resident of a nursing home hired to play Santa Claus at a Macy’s store was, in fact, Santa Claus. His ‘proof” was a pile of mail addressed to Santa Claus that the post office delivered to him, confirming his identity.
Attorney Larry Klayman, representing Voeltz in the case, immediately responded with a motion for rehearing, contending that the judge “prematurely and precipitously” dismissed the complaint without a hearing as outlined under state law.
“This act also flies in the face of this court’s own order of Dec. 13, 2012, which was law of the case,” noted Klayman, founder of FreedomWatchUSA.
“This court had a statutory duty under the Florida Election laws, the Florida and U.S. Constitutions, and 3 U.S.C. Section 5, to adjudicate defendant Obama’s eligibility and his alleged fraudulent acts expeditiously, timely, and before the electors met on Dec. 17, 2012, and before the Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2013, Klayman explained. “Thus, this court also violated these law is dismissing the complaint summarily.”
Klayman suggested to the court its order “at a minimum creates an appearance that it simply jettisoned this case not only on the extrajudicial and non-legal premise that President Obama was president during the prior four year term, and has already performed many ‘presidential’ acts but also because this court did not want to be ‘inconvenienced’ by holding an evidentiary hearing.”
Klayman also questioned Carroll’s “off-the-cuff” remarks about a friend being appointed to a federal post by Obama as inappropriate.
He said the remarks about fictional judge Henry X. Harper in “Miracle on 34th St.” also were “inappropriate” and showed “a mindset simply to rid the court of this case.”
“This court seems to want to sidestep having to reach these serious and important matters before it,” Klayman said.
Klayman is seeking a rehearing and an evidentiary hearing in the dispute. He’s also seeking a temporary restraining order to halt the delivery of the Florida electoral votes to Obama until the court case is resolved.
He has submitted evidence by way of a sworn statement from Investigator Mike Zullo of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse in Arizona that there probably were two crimes committed in the creation and display of Obama’s long-form birth certificate, which was released by the White House and posted online.
Zullo’s testimony is that forgery was used to create the document, and fraud was used in “presenting to the residents of Maricopa County and to the American public at large a forgery the White House represents as “proof positive” of President Obama’s” birth documentation.
Arpaio’s affidavit also was presented to the judge.
The sheriff said: “My investigators and I believe that President Obama’s long-form birth certificate is a computer-generated document, was manufactured electronically, and that it did not originate in a paper format, as claimed by the White House. … There is probable cause that the document is a forgery.”
Klayman has argued that Obama “has never established his eligibility for the presidency of the United States … the only evidence of defendant Obama’s alleged birth within the United States has come in the form of a belatedly filed electronic version of a claimed long-form birth certificate posted on the Internet.”
He told the judge that the evidence suggests, however, the document is fraudulent.
The case claims that should the judge not address the facts, the plaintiff “can never be made whole again.”
“If defendant Obama is found to be ineligible, which is likely to happen since there is no evidence … Obama was born in the United States to U.S. citizen parents, the plaintiff’s vote in the 2012 presidential election will be nullified.”
He suggested state law calls for an expedited hearing in such cases.
Carroll, however, said the state of Florida does not have jurisdiction to “determine the issue of qualification for the office of president of the United States, particularly at this late date in the process.”
His comments came after another challenge filed by Voeltz earlier this year was dismissed because the judge ruled it couldn’t be addressed until after the election.
In the latest case, Klayman argued: “On Nov. 6, 2012, the state of Florida held its 2012 general election. On Nov. 10, 2012, defendant Barack Hussein Obama was declared the official winner of the Florida general election. Yet defendant Obama has never established his eligibility for the presidency of the United States.
“Indeed, neither defendant Obama, nor the Democratic Party of Florida, has even stated that defendant Obama is a ‘natural born citizen,’” the filing said. “The only evidence of defendant Obama’s alleged birth within the United States has come in the form of an electronic version posted on the Internet. However, there has been evidence to show that this ‘birth certificate’ has either been altered or is entirely fraudulent.”
When Obama wanted the case dismissed, Carroll on Dec. 13 gave the plaintiffs 10 days to respond. But he didn’t wait for that time to pass and dismissed the case anyway.
“Section 102.168(7), Florida statutes, provides that ‘any candidate, qualified elector, or taxpayer presenting such a contest to a circuit judge in entitled to an immediate hearing,” Klayman wrote. “Plaintiff Michael Voeltz specifically requested an expedited hearing in his prayer for relief. … Yet even if he had not specifically requested such relief, which he did, the Florida statutes still mandate that plaintiff is entitled to an immediate hearing by law simply through the act of filing the lawsuit in front of a circuit judge.”
The case said, “Defendant Barack Hussein Obama is a direct threat to the safety and security of the United States, and its Constitution, which plaintiff must protect and defend by oath.”
As WND reported, Voeltz, who identifies himself as “a registered member of the Democratic Party, voter and taxpayer in Broward County,” has challenged Obama’s eligibility, arguing that the “natural born citizen” clause was rightly understood in historical context to mean a child not only born in the U.S., but born to two American-citizen parents, so as not to have divided loyalties. Obama, however, readily admits to being born a dual citizen because of his father’s British citizenship.
The original case sought to exclude Obama from the 2012 ballot. Klayman and Voeltz claimed that Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, because he was born a British subject.
Plaintiff Michael C. Voeltz has standing, as a Florida voter, and taxpayer, to challenge the ‘nomination or election of any person to office’ based on the winning candidates’ eligibility for the office sought. … The state of Florida has chosen, by popular election, the electors for Defendant Barack Hussein Obama to be president … Plaintiff has fulfilled all aspects of the Florida election statutes for this challenge of eligibility, as to timing, venue, and indispensable parties.”
Klayman has argued that since Obama, by his own admission, was not born to two citizen parents, he is not a “natural born citizen” and, therefore, is ineligible to be a candidate on the state’s election ballot.
The filing also explained the judiciary “has the power to determine eligibility. The contest of election statute specifically created a cause of action to enable plaintiff, a registered elector and taxpayer, to bring this lawsuit in order for this court to determine the eligibility of defendant Obama.”
Klayman said he also will be trying to go directly to the Florida Supreme Court if Carroll does not reconsider.
“It’s truly ‘remarkable’ and an affront to the rule of law and all our founding fathers and colonial America fought and risked and gave their lives for. This type of conduct by the establishment, which thinks it can do as it pleases without consequences, is why we have entered into a revolutionary state 236 years after we declared independence from the king. They will soon from We the People learn that there are consequences,” he said.

This shet is hard to believe. How much more of this will the people take? I’m ready to act now, all we need is somebody with a big voice to lead us.
AnthonyJ, 5 months ago
I’ve got a big mouth and a big voice and at 63 I feel I’ve lived a pretty full life. So, I’m not too concerned about dying anymore than I was when I enlisted in 67. I’m not the guy we need.
The kind of voice we need is somebody that people already know, respect, and admire. maybe Clint Eastwood, Fred Thompson, somebody like Allen West he just got his lights screwed out by the jackanapes in the Demo party. We need boots on the ground and in action fast before those lyin’ backstabbers do any more damage. I don’t want to be the only one out here in the boondocks when action needs to go down. I’ve been saying since they passed Obamacare and the NDAA we all need to get into our cars and drive east until every highway and airport is covered in cars that won’t move until the crook in the throne house abdicates or Congress sees fit to do their jobs!!!!!!!!!

I like the way you think!! My choice of someone that could lead the people would be Allen West. Once people realize that they are able to give some serious push against the shove that our government is giving us, I think they will follow West like the Pied Piper. However, in this instance, West will have clothes on & our prez will be revealed as having no clothes on & he will be shown as the phony that he is. Once people see this, I feel we definitely have “made it in the shade.”

Since the judge invoked the “fictitious ruling in Miracle on 34th St. that the US Post Office thinks he is Santa Claus, so do I, and dismissed the case, so do I “case dismissed”.
By hizzoner’s’ own admission, his ruling is also fictitional. So, let it be!
Seems there ought to be some courtroom impropriety here…?

This whole saga of the Obama eligibility case reminds me so much of Socrates’ pupil Diogenes, who walked through the market place with a lantern in broad daylight looking for ‘an honest man,’ whom he never found.
I see WND, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Larry Klayman, Orly Taitz and a few others as a kind of modern-day Diogenes, looking for just one honest judge. My money is still on Roy Moore but I have heard no recent reports on that case.
Certainly, any honest person having seen the evidence, must concede that Obama is simply not eligible to serve as president and should not be taken seriously. Let those of us who understand this (fine, call us birthers if you want) stand our ground no matter the consequences and refrain from juxtaposing the words ‘president’ and ‘Obama.’ It is the least we can do. He is NOT the president of our nation! He is a usurper who lied flagrantly to achieve a status he never deserved. We owe it to our children to say we stood for what was right against impossible odds.
Perhaps some will see it as a kind of taping our Republic together with duct tape. But what else can we do?
Remember Gideon, who defeated armies several times the size of his, simply by choosing the right men–a kind of profiling, but it worked, because Gideon was following the Lord’s orders.
Who’s your boss?

Well and rightly said my fellow Patriot/Terrorist. You have clearly reflected many of my own thoughts. I have refused to type President and then (his) name. I have used the lower case p simply to signify that he doesn’t deserve, qualify, or warrant any respect that the proper noun would signify. By his own use of forged documentation and sealing of ALL his records he has pointed a giant neon finger towards himself saying “LIAR”. I also feel that we must keep duct taping the truth together for our progeny and our Forefathers. Long may she wave!!

I sometimes call him pResident “Obama.” Of course he’s not a real President and may not even legally be “Obama,” for that matter.

When I read this article several hours ago I was stunned number one and affirmed number two. I told several friends when I first read that there was actually going to be a hearing in Kevin Carroll s court that he would never rule in favor of Voeltz. My prediction, though I knew I’d never see the proof in my lifetime, was that the judge would rule in favor of Obama. In previous hearings when common sense looked as though it would prevail and the sensible among us couldn’t imagine that anything but the truth would be exposed. In every instance either the judge decided that the plaintiff didn’t have standing or the judge came to absolutely ass-backwards decisions based on obvious evidence that Obama had NOT proven that he was eligible to be President. Somehow these pillars of the judiciary were coerced or their families were threatened bodily harm and the subsequently came to completely impossible conclusions. Has the slimeball in our White House mastered the techniques of Slick Willie? Day by day I watch as pieces of country, Constitution, and our heritage are destroyed or ignored and wonder if I’ve gone insane or the world has?

Uh, your “honor” – and I use that term loosely – he is not President until the electoral votes are counted in the Senate. That is what this case is all about.Perhaps you should go back and retake a civics class. Just because he fraudulently got through last term, it has no bearing on the next term. Therefore, the government hasn’t opined on his status as “President” yet.

The judges in Florida are absolutely praetorian guards of the Usurper and the Criminal Congress, and Carroll even has the nerve to threaten me w/ sanctions. I have filed a proper election complaint, to the letter of the law, challenging the “nomination or election of ANY PERSON to office (Fl. ss. 102.168(1), based on that person’s ELIGIBILITY for the office sought (Fl. ss. 102.168(3)(b)). The action has been filed timely (within 10 days after the final certification of the election by the Elections Canvassing Commission). The Fla. ECC has certified that “Barack Obama and Joe Biden (DEM) was elected President of the United States” (ECC certificate) as of November 20, 2012, and this action was filed and served by November 29, 2012. The action enjoins the ECC as an indispensible party, and is filed in the correct venue of Leon Co. Circuit Court (Fl. ss. 102.1685).
This action CANNOT BE DISMISSED for “want of form” (Fl. ss. 102.168(5)), and plaintiff is entitled to “AN IMMEDIATE HEARING” (Fl. ss. 102.168(7).
3 US Code 5 stipulates that ALL ELECTION CONTESTS should be determined w/ finality by 6 days prior to the meeting of electors (Dec. 11), BY THE JUDICIAL TRIBUNAL assigned by the state, or the Electors’ vote shall NOT BE CONCLUSIVE. Since ELIGIBILITY is a proper cause of action, according to the laws of Fla., of an election contest, then ELIGIBILITY must be ascertained by the judicial tribunal (Leon Co. Circuit Court, then Appeals, then Supreme) assigned by the legislature of Fla.by 6 days prior to the elector meeting— and the judiciary made NO DETERMINATION, and illegally dismissed a proper contest of election.
Judge Carrol’ls “ruling” flies directly in the face of the law that he purports to represent. Now I realize that I am arguing a defunct law, since the putative President, who is the executor of the laws, is illegal, then there is no law, and no constititution. There is only the rule of evil men. But I will make them ALL lie, all the way to the top. History will know the criminals that sold out the Republic.

This is just one more terrible piece of the undermining that is taking place against this country. It is so sickening. You see when one lives in CA this undermining is taking place up-very close and little by little it is reflected in the rest of the country. This state (unfortunately ) played a great part electing this islamist to office so there is a great deal wrong . It wasn’t like this but dishonesty is condoned more and more. Will the people ever wake up?
