The case was well-argued by Klayman. Obama's attorney's basically argued there is no opportunity for any court to review the eligibility of the nominee of a party for president, which Klayman argued could not have been the intent of the drafters of either the US or FL constitutions.

An easy prediction: the MSM will find none of the arguments presented by the Obama team as even a little bit odd or of any interest whatsoever.

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

If Obama IS eligible to be President, why is his attorney fighting so hard to get the challenge thrown out? THAT is the question.

[jcsjcm]

Why doesn’t the attorney ask BO’s attorney “Is Obama eligible to be President?”

I would love to hear the spin coming out of his mouth avoiding the question completely! In a courtroom, the lawyer would have to state the truth or ignore the question - thus dance around it!

I’m waiting for the day that Kenyan turd blossom is standing before a military tribunal to answer for his treasonous crimes.

[Mr. K]

So the judge should say “OK then, IF he becomes Dem. candidate I want to see a real birth certificate AND his parents, to determine eligibility, and see if he was born here, or if his parents were NOT US CITIZENS at the time of his birth”

Put it right back on the defense lawyers to put up or shut up- don't let them weasel out of it with this.

Obama's attorney's basically argued there is no opportunity for any court to review the eligibility of the nominee of a party for president, which Klayman argued could not have been the intent of the drafters

So Klayman is insisting that, because the Constitution was written before there were parties and therefore before there were nominations, that only Congress can review the eligibility of a successful candidate for the Presidency, and then only after the electors have affirmed his election?

So an ineligible person like Obama runs the entire course, wins election, is elected by the Electoral College -- and then and only then can the Congress interpose and reject the candidate who is ineligible under Article II?

Is that about the argument?

[Red Steel]

But the judge noted that the party wrote to Florida’s secretary of state a letter indicating Obama’s name was the only one submitted, and he thought the state’s electors were bound to vote for him.

Yeah submitted by the DNC or Demo National Committee to the SoS without regard to Florida law or without Florida having a chance to vote for other Dem candidates.

WHO REALLY IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[savedbygrace]

The WH released copies of a long form BC some months ago. Were they not able to give the original copy to his Florida attorney in time for this trial?

Huh.

Before the primaries we made the case.
They said it wasn't the right time because he wasn't actually his party's candidate.

Before the main election we made the case.
They said it wasn't the right time because he wasn't actually the president elect.

Before the electoral college vote we made the case.
They said it wasn't the right time because he hadn't actually been elected until the electoral college said so.

Before the congress accepted the electoral college vote we made the case.
They said it wasn't the right time because he hadn't actually been approved until the congress accepted the electoral college vote.

Before was sworn in we made the case.
They said it wasn't the right time because he hadn't actually violated the constitution until he became president.

Now that he is in the White House, they say it's too late, you should have said something sooner!

It seems we've played this game before.

Rope-a-Dope.

[snowsislander]

Let's hope for the best. This appears to be a good judge, one willing to deal with difficult situations.

It certainly seems less than responsive to argue that the candidate's eligibility is irrelevant: it would be far simpler to quash the whole issue with clear and unequivocal evidence.

I would assume that such evidence simply doesn't exist.

As to the Kenyan Clown's lawyers arguing that he's not yet a candidate, that's a stupid and obtuse argument. He's already appeared on a Florida ballot in the primary election; it is perfectly fair to challenge that appearance on the ballot if he's not an eligible candidate. This type of challenge has been upheld before, and candidates have been removed from ballots because of prima facie ineligibility to be elected.

[Forty-Niner]

Throw him off the ballot first and let him prove he is eligible to get back on.

[Mr. K]
