Well that was the original plan but once they realized how well the hypnosis techniques used by Obama worked, they just hypnotized him. Now, you may ask, "How could they do that when they were never in the same room?" He used the technique he learned on his home planet. That one works on millions of people no matter where they are. Over the years he has been able to hone his hypnosis skills so he can pinpoint it on just one person.

Look how well it's working on Palin.

I'm going to humor you for a few minutes. How many days did Obama supposedly have to file the motion to dismiss? I already know the answer, but I want to see you post the truth.

You do understand that people can appeal rulings, even for frivilous cases, dont you?

20 or 30 days depending upon what court the trial is in, but even though the filed the motion in time, they had until default judgment day to the judge reached a ruling or they have to be prepared with evidence, They didnt..

Sure they can. Anyone can file a suit. Anyone can file an appeal. Most likely, if the case has been ruled as frivolous, the appeal will be denied. Not always.

One, "failure to defend yourself" is not an admission of guilt.

Two, Obama, through his lawyers, defended himself by asking the judge to dismiss the case - which he did.

Of course he can appeal the ruling. Until the U.S. goes to "Loser Pays" rules, the court system will be clogged with this nonsense that we all end up paying for.

20 days is correct in most cases and is the minimum. The time someone gets to respond is NOT based on the day the original suit is filed. It's is based on the date the person being sued is served the papers. Obama was served on September 4th and the motion to dismiss was filed on September 24th...exactly 20 days from the date of service.

What law school did you attend Gulag U, because the above quoted concept of juripurdence isn't vaguely connected to anything that we in the United States recognize.

WRONG.

Judgement in default legal definition of Judgement in default. Judgement in default synonyms by the Free Online Law Dictionary.

Ask the number of guys paying life long child support for failure to respond.

I never stated that Obama did not file the motion in time, I stated the judge did not dismiss the case in time, meaning that by the court of law, that 20th day, if not dismissed, papers from the defendant need to be filed to defend. Motion to dismiss is NOT A DEFENSE..
