October 5, 2009 Judge Carter will be holding a hearing regarding discovery and the motion to dismiss. This is the first birth certificate lawsuit that has gotten to the point where a trial date has been set. That trial date is set for January 26, 2010. There is also a pretrial hearing set for January 11, 2010. Please see my initial post on this subject to learn more. At issue is Obama's eligibility to serve as President, specifically whether he is able to fulfill the Natural Born Citizen requirement.
As I had previously reported, the discovery process has been delayed by a stay of court pending the hearing set for tomorrow. This may result in a delayed trial date. Judge Carter will also be ruling on the Department of Justice's motion to dismiss. Both parties have been instructed to prepare for full discovery following this hearing, if the motion to dismiss is denied. If this case makes it through tomorrow, and I believe it will, discovery is likely to be quite swift with Judge Carter.
