The telling point for me is and always been that every one of the court challenges gets squished before anything actually gets anywhere.

I've progressed from being dismayed by this birther nonsense, to being absolutely dumbstruck by it, and finally on to being amused by it. It's a better feeling than the dismay.

I mean, here you go citing the fact that this birther issue falls on its face every single time in court as evidence that it has merit.

Really. You actually just claimed that you're right because you have a 100% track record of getting laughed out of court.

Just hypothetically, what do you think the track record would look like if you were wrong? Is there some particular percentage of judges laughing you out of court that you wouldn't take as an indication that birtherism is about to revolutionize American history? 0% and 100% mean you're correct, so surely there's a magic number in between, right?

Actually, my understanding is that this is the first trio of cases that have actually gotten to be "heard". Prior to this, every single one has been dismissed on procedural grounds or due to "lack of standing". As if every voter shouldn't have standing in a court of law to demand irrefutable demonstration of the legal bona fides of a candidate aspiring to the presidential levers of power.

Puhleeze.
