From Dr. Sai… UPDATE: AUGUST 16, 2011 — On August 12, 2011, Appellees (Clinton, Gates and Willard) filed with the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit a Appellee’s Reply in Further Support of Their Motion for Summary Affirmance. Appellees are claiming that the Appellant (Dr. Keanu Sai) does not understand the political question doctrine. Appellant argues it is in fact the Appellees that do not understand the political question because they are using it to protect a “political decision” made in 1898 to annex the Hawaiian Islands. Appellee cannot use the court to protect a “political decision” that violated the Lili`uokalani assignment and call it a political question. Appellant’s case centers on the violation of the 1893 Lili`uokalani assignment and the tort injuries suffered as a result of the President not faithfully executing this sole-executive agreement. What the President did five years later 1898 to seized the Hawaiian Islands for military purposes during the Spanish-American War cannot be protected as argued by the Appellees, even if it affects the legal status of President Obama who cannot claim to be a natural born Citizen.
