It seems to me the Freepers did not file the lawsuit.

You are correct.

Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit--just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver--for the health of the Democratic Party

I think we should let play out. There is a complaint and cause of action. The defendant will have to answer the complaint. Due to the immanent nature of the planned proceedings, I would thing the Judge would fasttrack the hearing on this. Obama cannot simply ignore the claim,...they must repond or else without a refutation of the facts before the court the court will grant the petition as requested.

It will get interesting. I really suspect the powerbrokers will step in and scare hell out of the judge. However if the Judge is an independent type he may say, "No, I will hear the case".
