You you can just file a lawsuit, and have a Federal District Judge remove from office the President of the United States who was selected by the Electoral College, and whose election was certified by Congress?

Wow, for the past 220 odd years people thought that the Constitution specifically provided that impeachment by the House of Representatives, and conviction by the Senate, was the only way to remove a President from office. Good thing that none of the Lefty lawyers are as brillant as Orly -- they would have had some Carter or Clinton appointed District Judge remove George W. from office by 5:00 pm Eastern on 20 January 2001.

For those who need it /sarcasm

Ever notice that the attorneys in these Birther cases seem to be either (1) the victims of a mass conspiracy to thwart their righteous lawsuits, or (2) grossly incompetent? Now I certainly think the correct answer is # 2. But tell me, is there a possibility # 3? Can Orly be so utterly unfamilair with litigation, never mind the constitutio, that she really thinks that, even if the Judge ordred Obama to produce a longform birth certificate, which he did not, that the case will have concluded, and Obama removed from office, within 30 days?

Could this be an "Operation Trust" situation. Never heard of the Operation Trust? When the Communists took over Russia, after WWI, they faced considerable internal resistance. Rather than immediately crush every opposition group, or emigre group, the Communists set up the Monarchist Union of Central Russia.

The MUCR became an umbrella group for anti-Communist activists, which allowed the Communists to monitor and control, and when they were strong enough to eliminate, their opponents. Vast sums of money were donated to MUCR, which meant donated to the very Communists the donors were trying to overthrow, and anti-Communist agents were methodically identified, and either killed or turned.

Could Obama's people be that devious? Maybe. Certainly the Birther attorneys are the Washington Generals of the legal profession. Is BO just lucky in that regards, or he making his own luck? Is it all a conspiracy?

I don't think it is a conspiracy. I think that if there was anything remotely approaching a case there, Free Republic's own Congressman Billy Bob would litigating away. He is not, and neither is any other attorney 1/10 as good as a below average, semi-literate, felon filing lawsuits from some maximum security prison.

But if you just have to believe in a conspiracy, this one at least explains (1) why BO would rather keep this going, than release his longform birth certificate, and (2) why the attorneys "suing" him stumble from one fiasco to another.
