Because it’s a farcical “legal reason” to declare a case has no merit. It’s bold in it’s absolute disregard for common sense, much less any basis in LAW, or under ANY examination of process of law, or any POSSIBLE absolute credibility, could a judge — unless he needs to have charges filed against him and his license to practice law removed from him — possibly honestly rule that an issue of such importance as a Constitutional REQUIREMENT to insure the NATIONAL SECURITY of this Nation against HOSTILE enemies who would seek to destroy us from within (meaning those who completely and willfully disregard the rule of law, commit fraud upon the people as a whole, and systematically start imposing laws that fly in the FACE of the Constitution and destroy our country, and hurt our citizens)... Could POSSIBLY be “decided” in the court of public opinion. Especially when even the COPY of the Birth Certificate Obama DID provide he REFUSES to give to the courts to verify it’s authenticity. This judge took the word of the WEBMASTER of FACTCHECK, and a BLOGGER AT DAILY KOS, and TWITTERING, as his evidence in this case!
Therefore, he makes the decision SO outrageous that the appeals court basically HAS to listen to it and decide against him. In fact, Berg could probably argue that this judge needs to be relieved from making any more decisions on ANY case at all, frankly...
Maybe I’m totally wrong, but this seems too outrageous to be true... Then again, if you had told me yesterday that Obama had a Mad Scientist in the basement of the White House planning on sending up a rocket full of pollution to block the Sun’s light I probably would’ve thought you were crazy, too. :)
That doesn't change the merits of the case, or lack thereof. And it doesn't establish standing if there was none in the first place.
