Berg's "whistleblowing" lawsuit - "Illegal Alien" claim made against Obama

(Cross-posted to my LJ and Yes To Democracy)

I stumbled across an interesting bit of news. Interesting because:

a) It's so far flown under the radar, and
b) Philip J. Berg may have done a massive screwup.

Now, some of you may know what PACER is. PACER is an "electronic public access service that allows users to obtain case and docket information from Federal Appellate, District and Bankruptcy courts, and from the U.S. Party/Case Index. " It is a Government website, and is pretty reliable. It's a good resource for lawyers, but non-lawyer and "legal geeks" can also use it.

It's free to use, downloads will cost money though. Not a lot however.

While searching "All Courts", I found Philip J. Berg's name attached to a new case, "Berg vs. Obama", 1:08-cv-01933-RWR, filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia on 7 November 2008.

Australia rocked by 'lesbian' koala revelation

"The furry, eucalyptus-eating creatures appear to develop this tendency for same-sex liaisons when they are in captivity. In the wild, they remain heterosexual.

Scientists monitoring the marsupials with digital cameras counted three homosexual interactions for every heterosexual one.

"Some females rejected the advances of males that were in their enclosures, only to become willing participants in homosexual encounters immediately after," say the researchers.

"On several occasions more than one pair of females shared the same pole, and multiple females mounted each other simultaneously. At least one multiple encounter involved five female koalas."

Or maybe it's because the male koala's just eats shoots and leaves........
