Maybe he wants to add these folks who put Barry on the ballots, accepted Barry's petitions to get on the ballot, and others who failed to perform due diligence by declaring Barry a legitimate candidate.

All the reading I've done shows that the place (and time) to determine eligibility to serve is when the Electoral College acts to not only declare a winner, but to affirm eligibility. This, of course, is a little late in the game and could (heaven help us) lead to a constitutional crisis the like this country has never seen. All because of simple stubbornness or the reality that Barry is ineligible.

If he waits until after the election and ruled inelegible, then there will be racial unrest/rioting all over the country.....maybe that is what obama wants.

Except that is a state issue, not a federal issue, and doesn't belong in federal court.

November 4th is not a federal election. It is 50 separate state elections and one election in the District of Columbia (which isn't a state).

When we go to the polls on November 4th, we are not electing a President, we are appointing our state's electors. And according to Article II of the Constitution, the appointment of electors is left entirely up to the states.

So any issues as to who appears on the various state ballots is a state issue and should be taken up in state courts. Not federal court.
