The case in Santa Ana, CA is to be before a judge on the issue of President Obama's eligibility to hold office on 09-08-2009. The plaintiffs are saying that Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore not qualified to be either President or Commander in Chief.
Weather you agree or disagree with the birth status of the president, doesn't it seem wrong for the Federal Department of Justice to try to influence that judge in California to drop the case. I do not see anywhere in the Constitution where a federal agency can try to exert power or influence over a court sanctioned under the Constitution. Any court below the Supreme Court is considered an inferior court per the Constitution (3 sections 2-3). Only a higher court can have a real legal impact on a lower court as far as I can tell.
