Allen v. Soetoro

The suit, brought under the Freedom of Information Act, is an interesting approach. Allen is alleging that President Obama is an illegal alien and therefore not protected by provisions of the Freedom of Information Act that prevent disclosure of information about living persons.

Allen will attempt to prove that President Obama is an illegal alien and therefore federal agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State, must comply with his request for immigration information. I’d be interested to hear what the lawyers think about this approach.

It appears to me that the particular lawsuit in question here is fatally flawed in that FOIA lawsuits can only be brought after all administrative avenues have been exhausted, and I do not see that this has happened based on the complaint. Of course, Mr. Allen has no chance of proving President Obama is an illegal alien using the imaginary travel ban to Pakistan and the other birther nonsense.
