Exclusive: Obama Attorney Threatens Distinguished Veteran on Obama Birth
Certificate Issue: Why?

    Margaret Hemenway

    [Editor's note: Barack Obama's lawyer, Robert F. Bauer, is threatening
    a D.C. attorney with "sanctions," because the attorney is simply
    requesting that Obama show proof of his birth. No legalizing on our
    part. No exaggeration. No political manipulation. Just the facts in
    black and white. We have the shocking letter dated April 3 . The
    president of the United States is threatening sanctions - and the word
    "sanctions" is used in the threat -- against attorney John Hemenway.
    Read on.]

    After the flippant dismissal by U.S. Circuit Court Judge James
    Robertson of the lawsuit to attempt to determine whether Barack Obama
    is constitutionally eligible to serve as President, D.C. attorney John
    Hemenway received a letter from a lawyer representing Barack Obama and
    Joe Biden, his Vice President.  (Hemenway had joined the suit launched
    by Hillary Clinton's ally, Philip Berg, the former Deputy Attorney
    General of Pennsylvania and attorney Lawrence Joyce of Arizona, in an
    attempt to force President Obama to disclose his birth records,
    currently being protected against public scrutiny by the Obama legal
    team at a reported cost of as much as one million dollars.)  The
    entire letter , written by Obama attorney Robert F. Bauer, states the
    following (and we note that there is no reference in this letter to an
    existing valid Birth Certificate for Barack Obama, as opposed to a
    Certificate of Live Birth, and there is no claim that a valid Birth
    certificate exists which can be shown to the American people, an act
    that immediately would shut down this query):

    "I represent President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden. I
    write to request that, in light of the District Court's March 24, 2009
    Rule 11 order in Hollister v. Soetoro, No. 08-2254, you withdraw the
    appeal filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
    Columbia, No. 09-5080. For the reasons stated in Judge Robertson's
    order, the suit is frivolous and should not be pursued.

    Should you decline to withdraw this frivolous appeal, please be
    informed that we intend to pursue sanctions, including costs,
    expenses, and attorney's fees, pursuant to federal Rule Appellate
    Procedure 38 and D.C. Circuit Rule 38."

    Mr. Hemenway's response to the letter was a promise to "write and
    protest and attack those against the demand that Obama show proof of
    his birth, and I will continue to do anything I can think of doing
    that might perhaps deter or injure those who are opposed to
    "transparency" and "openness" and honesty in governmental
    operations--all those good and vague promises that Obama threw out in
    speeches read from his teleprompter."

    Mr. Hemenway added, "The lawyer for Obama, Robert Bauer, has abused
    his privileges as an attorney, because I can regard his premature (and
    totally inaccurate) threats to seek some sanction against me as a
    threat to keep me from performing my duty to my client.  It won't work
    and he will soon see that it has not worked to intimidate me."  In his
    opinion, "many judges and other officials are simply crassly violating
    their oaths of office.  Since I had been in the Department of
    State and served in Moscow for two years, I am mindful of an
    expression used by the Russians: "Nada dakazat' kulak!"  (You must
    show them your fist!)"

    Hemenway also pledged:

    "...to appeal the slap taken at me (the so-called "reprimand") by
    Judge James Robertson who tried unsuccessfully to label our efforts as
    "frivolous" but who did not have the guts to sanction me under Rule
    11.  (This would have given me--and others engaged in this important
    battle --standing in the Court of Appeals.)  I will do my duty
    to Colonel Hollister, who technically is a client, even though I never
    agreed initially to follow the case in the Court of Appeals.  The
    military, as Colonel Hollister's interest demonstrates, is quite
    concerned with the basic issue of `legal' and `illegal' orders
    originating from a `legitimate' or `illegitimate' commander-in-chief.
    Recall that Judge Robertson never did admit attorneys Berg or Joyce to
    practice in his court, never had a hearing and never examined evidence
    because he didn't seek any.  The Judge gave the impression that his
    decision was predicated solely on `blogging and twittering'."

    For the many others who have contacted him and expressed interest in
    this cause, Hemenway invoked Churchill's admonition:  "If a matter of
    principle is involved in a course of action, then never give up--never
    - never - never."  The most important part of that quote is the
    "matter of principle."  It was not just a display of the stubborn
    nature of Churchill.  Following that advice, we can see that here, we
    have a grave matter of principle.

    If Obama can break such a basic, fundamental rule of the Constitution,
    then what is to keep him from ignoring or suspending other basic
    rights, such as the Writ of Habeas Corpus?

    Last, Hemenway points out: "Mr. Bauer claims his father was an
    attorney in Vienna who opposed the union with Germany (the so-called
    "Anschluss") and promoted anti-Nazi political movements while he was
    in Austria.   He says his father left Austria in 1940.  Very few
    people left greater Germany after 1939, when the war started.  In any
    event, if Bauer's background includes such a family history of
    opposition to anti-rule-of-law monsters, how does he explain
    his support for this Chicago-styled conspiracy to violate a basic
    requirement of the United States Constitution?"
