In all of these proceedings, Team Obama has had the advantage of being the Defendant. The chance for a state official to make Team Obama the Plaintiff in an action seeking relief for .... O say, removing him from a state ballot ... has long past.
Factor in the SCOTUS, which has assiduously ducked the issue, and we are left where you realistically surmise that we are. But Nana is right. The guy is ineligible. The fact that there is no venue wherein this can be proven isn't that dear lady's fault.
We have lived through an anti-constitutional coup. Happens in every country. Just our turn.
I might buy your opinion except for the fact that in about 90% of the more than 200 Obama eligibility lawsuits that have been filed, there was no defense at all presented by Obama. Such was the case in Lamb v. Obama in Alaska. There was only a plaintiff’s brief for the Court.
Why would Obama ever allege that he had been damaged by being declared eligible as a natural born citizen? You cannot force someone to become a plaintiff. When a party offers no defense, they are leaving it up to the court to rule, solely on the position of the plaintiff.
Obama eligibility lawsuits have failed primarily due to one simple fact: the four persons who did have standing to file suit decided not to sue or even to support any eligibility lawsuit by filing an amicus brief. The persons with standing are John McCain, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the only other persons who received electoral votes and who had a chance to hold the office if Obama is ineligible. It is also conceivable that a judge might have granted standing to the Republican Party on behalf of its candidates but the Republican National Committee has never challenged Obama’s eligibility either.
Team Obama has not presented any bona fides. They’ve made verbal assertions of “citizenship” and “eligible”, and staged PR stunts. That’s it.
