Ethics

Klayman, Obama and UFOs

By Ed Brayton

Larry Klayman seems to be moving to a slightly different neighborhood in the loonisphere. He's already gone off the deep end over Terri Schiavo and many other issues, now he's joining the "OMG, the government is covering up the UFOs" crowd. He's planning to file a lawsuit demanding that the government turn over its "classified" information on UFOs.

"We're not waiting for them to go through their administrative aspects," Klayman says. "We're going straight into a court of law because they're in violation." Which portends taking depositions from government officials who "shouldn't have a problem with this if it isn't a national security issue, as they claim."

Should the legal narrative play out as Klayman predicts, he could file for a summary judgement where the court could rule on inconsistencies in sworn testimony without a trial. "This is generally where these guys get caught, fudging or lying on an affadavit," Klayman says.
