There’s no getting around the fact that this action by DoJ demonstrates they take it seriously.
This fact refutes the central argument of the anti-birthers (that it’s not a serious issue).
As you can see, your general position on this issue is slipping in a downward direction.
Yep.We've made tremendous progress in the past year.
The cycle of a new idea:
Ignore it.
Ridicule it.
Fight it.
Then insist it's obvious and you believed it all along...
What do you expect them to do? Ignore it? I mean come on! There was a suit filed by 100 kids in LA not too long ago against Obama for having their parents deported. If the Justice Department responds to that and moves to have that dismissed, does that mean they're taking that one seriously, too? All the suits that were filed against Bush and Cheney over the legality of the war, should the U.S. Attorneys ignored those because to do otherwise would mean they took them seriously?
Taitz filed the suit, so the defense has to act. The best way to deal with it is the way that has worked in all the other birther suits to date - move to dismiss on grounds that the plaintiff lacks the legal standing to sue. The best way to kill the suit is not let it get into court. And they're batting a thousand on that so far.
