Trying to keep the old and new developments separate----the following is the newer. Orly Taitz is the name that is the newer name----Berger goes back to the Primary campaign---as I recall. This is the newer part----the rest of the article is a rehash. Interesting that mainstream media is even mentioning this. "President's meeting with judges questioned Lawyer challenging eligibility raises issue of secret conference January 23, 2009 2009 WorldNetDaily worldnetdaily.com A lawyer working on a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that challenges the eligibility of President Obama is raising concerns over a meeting between the defendant in the case and the judges who are expected to review it. The case is one of many brought before U.S. courts that allege Obama doesn't meet the "natural born" requirement of the U.S. Constitution for the president. It's one of about half a dozen that have reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which already has declined to grant hearings to several cases. Orly Taitz, whose case is scheduled to be heard tomorrow in a conference among justices – a private meeting at which they review cases and decide whether they should hold a hearing – confirmed on her website today that a supplemental brief in her arguments had been distributed. But the website also reported she "had to explain … many of us citizens are also concerned about the eight out of nine justices meeting privately with Mr. Obama (while the cases are pending)." The blog continued, "No reporters were allowed. No attorneys were invited on behalf of the plaintiffs. This causes many of us citizens to question the rules of judicial ethics and causes us to question the impartiality on behalf of the justices." The report said "quite a number of people" have raised their questions with their U.S. representatives over the issues. According to a CBS report, Obama visited the Supreme Court before his inauguration at the invitation of Chief Justice John Roberts. The report described it as a protocol visit. According to a separate published report, Obama and then-Vice President-elect Joe Biden met in a court conference room with Roberts and seven other justices for about 45 minutes. The report said the only absent justice was Samuel Alito."
