WOW ! What a great idea to impose possible sanctions for those foolish enough to actually BELIEVE in the Constitution ! Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the best way for a defendant to settle a lawsuit is to provide something called ‘evidence’ ?

GOD FORBID any of these sinister judges actually request our mega-million dollar funded Pres__dent to spend $12.00 and produce a real birth ceritficate !

In our legal system, the defendant isn't required to prove anything. The plaintiff always has the burden of proof. (And that's the way it should be.) It's usually in a defendant's best interest to answer the accusations to avoid an unfavorable decision, but he's not required to prove the plaintiff's accusations are incorrect.
