The Philadelphia Times Herald has an update on the status of the temporary restraining order and the lawsuit. Here are some exerpts:
A day earlier, Philip Berg filed a motion for a temporary restraining order in federal court in Philadelphia questioning the authenticity of Obamas Hawaii birth certificate and claiming the Illinois senator was actually born in Kenya, according to court papers.
Though the motion was denied, Berg said he was encouraged that Judge R. Barclay Surrick did not dismiss the lawsuit. The litigation also sought expedited discovery.
Were still waiting to serve the senator, Berg said in a telephone interview Wednesday. Discovery would include examining the candidate’s birth certificate and adoption papers, among other documents, Berg said.
Six days later (after the suit was filed), theres not been one word from his campaign, which tells me I'm on the right track, he said.
The 64-year-old Whitemarsh attorney has been fielding phone calls almost nonstop after word got out about the legal action.
On Friday, Judge Surrick denied Bergs emergency request, Berg said, because Obama had not yet been served with the legal complaint and a summons.
The U.S. Attorneys Office of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania accepted service of the suit on behalf of the DNC and FEC, according to Bergs office.
Once the senator is served, Berg will be able to move the suit forward in court. The case is still very alive and active, according to an e-mail message from his office.
The lawyer plans to file another motion for a temporary restraining order once Obama has been served.
