Harlem ‘trial’ finds Obama ‘guilty’
Pastor says incriminating information to be given to ‘authorities’
wnd
NEW YORK – The controversial Harlem pastor who led a days-long “trial” of President Obama says the resulting “guilty” verdict and corroborating evidence will now be turned over to appropriate authorities, congressional and otherwise.
The event was held at Atlah World Missionary Church over the past few days, and its pastor, James Manning, claimed it to be the first “legal verdict” against Obama since he took office.
Focusing on allegations regarding Obama’s status as a “natural born citizen” of the United States as well as the allegedly illegal “award” of a diploma from Columbia University, Manning insists new legal ground was broken.
The activist pastor says that under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, citizens can legally hold a trial and arrive at a verdict, with the results turned over to appropriate government bodies for enforcement.
Manning claims the fact that the Secret Service, charged with protecting the president and investigating threats, allowed the “trial” to take place constitutes evidence it was legitimate.
“If the trial did not have legal standing, then why did the federal or city authorities not intervene to halt [the proceeding]?” he said. “We did not hide the trial, in fact we did our best to promote it. So if the authorities had any problems why did they not act?”
Not only was there no government interference during or after the trial, Manning boasts the NYPD had officers in the neighborhood to protect the church when the trial was under way.
Coincidentally, Obama was less than 4 miles away at a Democratic Party fundraiser in mid-town Manhattan the night before the 5-day trial began May 14.
Just four blocks from the church that hosted the Obama trial stands the Harlem office of former President Bill Clinton.
Ironically, the conservative Manning heaped praise on the 42nd president: “He was (and still is) a friend of the Harlem community. He and Hillary did a lot of good things here and for that we thank them.”
Now that the Obama trial is over, Manning said, he will pass on the verdict and the evidence presented to the appropriate congressional authorities for their own “review.”
“Just like a civilian who witnessed a crime, we will report our findings to Congress. … Let’s see what they do,” he said.
Regarding Manning’s allegation that Obama never actually attended Columbia, the New York times blogged mockingly:
“When we asked a Columbia spokesman whether the president did in fact attend the school, he replied, ‘We’re not commenting on the Reverend Manning or the trial.’ Denial or confirmation? You decide.”
Manning, undeterred, says, “The ball is their (Congress’) court. The verdict is in, the trial is over.
“Of course they (Congress) will try and ignore it and hope I will go away. .. but anyone who knows me knows I will not go away.”

Pastor Manning has a video of the news conference available on his website.
From what I understand, he is now going to try and get congress to act upon the evidence brought forth from the trial. I believe they are still working on the transcripts of the trial.

Washington, D.C., May 12, 2010. The Army has now officially scheduled a formal hearing its case against Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, who is being court-martialled by the Army for refusing to obey orders to deploy to Afghanistan because the President refuses –even in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary– to prove his eligibility under the Constitution to hold office. It will proceed on June 11, 2010 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. at 9:00 a.m. in room134 of Building T-2.
All proceedings are open to the media and public. The court martial process, which begins with the military’s equivalent of a preliminary hearing in a civilian court, known as an “Article 32 Investigation” (referring to the provision found in that section in the Uniform Code of Military Justice) was just commenced when on May 3, 2010, LTC Lakin was notified that the Art. 32 hearing would take place May 6, 2010. Lakin’s civilian lawyer, Paul Rolf Jensen, immediately requested a continuance to June 11, 2010, and this request has been granted. Assisting Jensen in his defense of Lakin is a very experienced senior member of the Army’s Judge Advocate General’s corps.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Will Congress and the courts act? If not then WHO WILL enforce the Constitution? This administration is now operating outside of the boundaries of the constitution and beyond the will of the people. This country is now treading on new ground. How the people act and react from this point on will determine the future of the United States of America and the destiny of the entire world. Obama is intent on taking this nation down
Manning, undeterred, says, “The ball is their (Congress’) court. The verdict is in, the trial is over.
“Of course they (Congress) will try and ignore it and hope I will go away. .. but anyone who knows me knows I will not go away.”
Manning probably understands that he is perpetrating an event that is not going anywhere. However, he is getting the word out to the inner city folks. And that is good news that warms my heart.
This is from a friend on Facebook that went to the trial.
This is his Facebook page..his name is Steve Cooper.
This is his blog/website
I attended the trial daily as a reporter for my site, The Conservative Monster. I am also a retired cop, so I know more about the law than many of these leftists that are attacking Manning.
Manning proved without a doubt that Obama never attended Columbia University. He did attend Harvard and Occidental, that is documented, but never Columbia. He is a fraud, but the fanatical left do not care, because they embrace his Marxist agenda.
….Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

A standing ovation for Rev. Manning. He is persistant and articulate. Now we need a couple of brave Congresspeople to pick up the ball and carry it to the right committees.
I’m afraid Rev. Manning is going to have trouble making the point that his “grand jury” has any legal validity.
Here’s what the judge said in the American Grand Jury case:
“…grand juries are convened by the court for the district in which they sit… Grand jurors are also to be selected at random from a fair cross section of the district in which they are convened… The individuals who have made this presentment were not convened by this Court to sit as a grand jury nor have they been selected at random from a fair cross section of this district. In addition, the individuals who have made this presentment did not meet under the supervision of any district court… Any self-styled indictment or presentment issued by such a group has no force under the Constitution or laws of the United States.”
Gee bigguy you sound just like the shil Gibbs who’s obama’s mouthpiece. And as we all know obama follows the rule of law to the letter. Like enforcing only the laws he sees fit to enforce, now that not Constitutional is it?
We are either a nation of laws or we are not. Obama swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, Has he done that ?
Just under the health care bill alone he has almost violated every Amendment in the Constitution, by inserting a government bureaucracy between patients and their doctors.
We are a Republic not a democracy. Too bad obama doesn’t understand that.
Tom, ditto what you said. Rev. Manning has been working so hard on this and I pray for his safety. He is a wonderful man.
bigguy, this is about one thing, our Constitution. There is no gray area, and the left wants to read it as touchie feelie and they are wrong.
Mark is spot on what he said.
Dr. Manning is a brave, intelligent American Citizen to be proud of! He is unwavering and solid in his feelings for America and his sense of right and wrong; fair and unfair. He mixes no words; he does not back down. He brings to light the truth and he preaches it consistently and fairly. He says nothing that he can’t back up; he’s a brave man and afraid of no man or anything.I pray for his safety and well being. Thank you, Dr. Manning, for taking a stand against the evil that is trying to take over and prevail in our great land. GOD BE WITH YOU!!!!
