[Non-Sequitur]

Why does the DOJ want to drop the lawsuit before it gets to court? Hmmm . . . .

Because the plaintiff lacks the standing to sue. Same reason why all the other cases have been tossed.

I see my old friend “logical fallacy” is back to support the Kenyan.

Using that logic, if Osama bin Laden or Hugo Chavez were to pull a Hussein and usurp high office in America and deliberately run the country into the ground, no American would have any standing to sue and show how they’ve been greatly harmed by it.

The audacity to say that no one has standing is the equivalent of saying “I hate America.” But you already knew that. ALL Americans have standing. It’s still We The People, right?

The only way you Obama worshipers can justify anything is by pretending the Constitution doesn’t exist and by perpetually raising your middle finger at the American people.

Judicial power, as contradistinguished from the power of the laws, has no existence. Courts are the mere instruments of the law, and can will nothing. When they are said to exercise a discretion, it is a mere legal discretion, a discretion to be exercised in discerning the course prescribed by law; and, when that is discerned, it is the duty of the court to follow it. Judicial power is never exercised for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the judge, always for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the legislature; or, in other words, to the will of the law. -- Chief Justice John Marshall

The Verdict is still out on Judge Carter on "standing", Non-Seq. More likely than not, at least ONE of the 50-plus plaintiffs have that standing, in this post-inaugural case. He's given Orly "tips" on filing issues — I can't see why he wouldn't again. Judge Carter is sharp and will stay within his judicial guidelines.

Additionally, we'll have to see if the merits outweigh any pre-trial blunders and nagging post-election questions of Mr. Obama's eligibility questions. Judge Carter's interest in this case is apparent, while granting Orly significant latitude for no apparent reason.

As we know, what tagged Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton was not the deed, but the cover-up of the deed. If there's a hint of that here — especially now from any perceived tampering from Obama's Justice Dept — that alone might give the judge enough judicial justification (and just plain old curiosity) to authorize discovery to see what's REALLY going on here.
