BOMBSHELL…Supreme Court now has Obama Citizenship
Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Lawsuit regarding Obama’s Citizenship
Now you know why he is so eager to get Sottomayer appointed!
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. – In a move certain to fuel the debate over
Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group Americans for
Freedom of Information has Released copies of President Obama’s college
transcripts from Occidental College Released today, the transcript
indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial
aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the
school.
The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance
with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court
of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for
financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the
Fulbright Foundation Scholarshipprogr am. To qualify, for the
scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document
would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors
have been seeking.
Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and
there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is
looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House
as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and
qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in
London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon
Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.
Britain ‘s Daily Mail also carried the story in a front-page
article titled, Obama Eligibility Questioned leading some to speculate
that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official
visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups,
Justice Anto nin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on
Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve
as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This
lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as
president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens
demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as
president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released
the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending.
This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in
campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for
legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr.
Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the
final report will be provided to the U.S. Attorney General,
Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.
LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS THAT THE MEDIA WON’T EMBRACE!
Court Reporting By Way Of Videoconferencing
Videoconferencing has been one of the most popular technologies to come out of the last ten years.
It works so well for so many businesses for lots of different reasons. One of the primary reasons businesses love videoconferencing is that it can save a ton of money while providing an invaluable resource to employees. The days of employees having to take time away from their jobs and pay some serious travel expenses just to consult with a client or talk to someone in a similar business are pretty far in the past.
Now if a consultation is needed, a five-minute videoconference can usually solve the problem. The videoconferencing solutions of today, though, are not the same as the videoconferencing solutions of tomorrow. As with any new technology, videoconferencing is changing rapidly. Videoconferencing is no longer just limited to business applications.
There are a number of different creative uses for videoconferencing that you should consider when you are thinking about this great new technology. One of the best new applications of videoconferencing is court reporting.
Court reporting is one of the most important facets of our legal system. It offers us a way to record the complaints, outbursts, and testimony of each party within a legal case. As a result, there is a great demand for court reporters. They are needed at every trial, every pretrial hearing, every deposition, and every interview within the legal system. This means that a court district within a larger city could use literally thousands of court reporters within a single week. This makes it well near impossible to get the court reporters most judicial districts need. Videoconferencing, though, can solve the problem of lacking court reporters.
Videoconferencing, as a technology, is not necessarily a new invention. Videoconferencing, on some level, was available when the first televisions sets were created. Two closed circuit television sets could be connected via a cable, and one participant could see and talk to another. The technology did begin to grow and change, but for many years, it was far too expensive to be useful to very many people.
Moreover, the quality of the original videoconferencing systems was so poor, that few people wanted to invest in such horrible technology, as it did not really have any serious practical applications at the time. In the nineteen eighties, telephone companies attempted a revolution in the videoconferencing industry, but it, again, failed, because the phone lines were far too poor to transmit high quality video images that people wanted to see using videoconferencing equipment. However, as networks and technologies like ISDN became more and more popular, the videoconferencing industry revolutionized itself again.
Over the course of the last ten years, videoconferencing equipment has become a standard installation in many areas. There are many reasons for this change. First, the videoconferencing equipment has gotten much, much better since the early days. Most networks that are designed to handle videoconferencing can transmit up to three frames of video every second, making it actually feel like you are in the same room with the party you are attempting to speak with. This can mean that some employees, like court reporters, no longer have to be in the same room with the parties, which can save time and money.
For example, if you have one court reporter and three different court related events to cover in three different parts of the county, at one time, it simply would not have been possible to get the court reporter to cover all three of the events.
Now, with new videoconferencing technologies, it is not only possible, it is quite probable that the court reporter can cover all three events. This saves extensive time and solves part of the serious court reporter shortage in this country. It even means that you can have a pool of freelance or work from home court reporters, which might encourage more people to enter the profession as a whole.
Videoconferencing within the world of court reporting also helps to save money on an already strained judicial system. Court reporters, to put it simply, are not cheap. They get paid based on travel and based on each page of information they record. As a result, cutting out the travel expenses can save some serious funds within the judicial system.
Because of the popularity of this new technology, many different court-reporting schools are training new graduates in the use of videoconferencing systems. This means that most of them will know how to operate the equipment before they graduate. Videoconferencing and court reporters make a great team.
