So long as you are leaving, here is a project to work on while you are gone. Ask yourself: Why is it Birtherism loses in court, every time? I mean, apart from being factually groundless?

Because you can't a get fair shot at Obama in Court. Only the Senate can remove him from office, and then only if the House of Representatives first impeaches him. United States District Courts can't give advisory opinions, and the can't remove Obama from office, so they can't do squat.

But what about State Courts? They can't remove Obama from office. But they can remove him from the ballot. Of course, you have to have standing to sue to get a guy off the ballot. So if Birthers really want a shot at Obama in Court, they should form a political party.1 Study up on the nominating process, and ballot access process, in different states, then select the 2-3 that where it is easiest to get on the ballot. Get the Birther candidate on the ballot in those states, and:

Presto! Ballot access lawsuit. For once, it won't be Disgruntled Conspiracy Theorist v. President of the United States, but Candidate A v. Candidate B. The parties will be on an equal footing. Since you won't be suing Obama because he is President, he won't even be able to have DOJ lawyers represent him.

Will you win? Of course not. The State Courts will pour you out just like the Federal Courts, and there will be much wailing, and posting of "we wuz robbed." But you will have your day in court, trying a case on the merits, if you follow Pilsner's advice. Which is more than Orly will ever accomplish for Birtherism.

1. Don't call your political party Birther Nation. It has negative connotations.

What was it that happened in Honduras last year. Was it NOT their high court who ordered the military to remove their President, huh???
