Obama's CAIR Lawyer
By Andrew Walden @ 12:51 AM :: 5476 Views

A Hillary Clinton supporter and former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General named Philip Berg is suing Senator Barack Obama in a Philadelphia Federal Court. Berg’s suit, filed in August, wants Obama to produce his birth certificate claiming he does not meet the citizenship requirement to be President. Rather than just product the birth certificate in Court, Obama’s legal team September 27 filed a motion to dismiss. One of the lawyers filing the motion was Joe Sandler of the Washington law firm Sandler, Reiff, and Young.

Sandler is an interesting choice because he has worked for the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in several attempts to intimidate organizations and silence speakers. CAIR is an organization with terrorist ties, and has been as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas Funding trial now being re-heard in Dallas, Texas.

In 2007 Sandler sent a threatening letter to the Young Americas Foundation in an effort to intimidate YAF into retracting a speaking invitation to terrorism researcher Robert Spencer. Sandler followed up with a threatening letter to www.Townhall.com columnist Mike Adams for writing about the Spencer incident.

Berg’s claim is meritless, but Obama’s choice of representation is yet another sign that free speech would be at risk of being strangled by political correctness and lawsuits under an Obama Presidency.
