I’m not surprised but Surrick could have made this call 30 seconds after he received the case.
One in a lower court, no way!
Yes, but by waiting, he removes a lot of options until after the election. The bet is, that if 0bama wins, no court, including the Supremes, will want to "go against the will of the people" and the Constitution be damned.
Dr., at this point I will remind you that you are clinically insane, so the above can be interpreted in that light.
Wright is a non-issue. He already got his airtime and the Dems countered with Hagee. Obama was not hurt by Wright in the eyes of the chuckleheads who are enamored with his exterior paint job (they certainly have done no snooping under the hood).
If the serious question of Obama's citizenship were to get major airtime I think even you would acknowledge the likely damage to Obama.
Thank you.
“real silver bullets”
heh heh
very funny
It ain’t over. There are 7 other lawsuits filed.
We also need to slamming Obama on the 401K nonsense that is now before thew House Ways and Means committee. Put him on the spot (on the record) and MAKE HIM DEFEND TAXING EVERYONE’S 401K PLAN. Get John McCain on the record stating he will veto any such bill that appears on his desk. Then play it up for all it is worth.
There is at least one case, however, in southern California, where the candidate/office holder was running for reelection when it was established that she was an illegal alien, with no right even to register to vote, much less to run for public office.
The problem with amateurs in election law bringing cases like this is they do not know and use the prior cases which demonstrate how to establish jurisdiction in a way that the trial court cannot deny it. Of course, any judge wants a case like this to go away without having to decide it. That's exactly why the case has to be set up properly from the get-go.
Berg blew it, and gave the judge an opening to throw the case out. IMHO. I hope the case is better handled when it is filed in all states that Obama wins, to obtain a court order that his Presidential Electors cannot vote for him because he is not qualified to be elected President.
These things are relatively simple. But you've got to KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Latest article, "Brides from a War Long Ago"
The Declaration, the Constitution, parts of the Federalist, and America's Owner's Manual, here.
A far more likely path to get the issue into Court would be a suit by a State Secretary of State seeking a Declaratory Judgment as to whether he can properly certify Obama’s candidacy and electors on the November ballot. That should take care of the Standing Issue. A slightly weaker but still possible method might be a suit in Mandamaus, to compel the Secretary of State to determine Obama’s eligibility, etc..
Focus on what you want. And be sure to ping us all on those laser-beamed focused ‘important issue’ threads you want us all to comment on.
Thanks
The Purpose of the Constitution is to limit the government.
If only the government can determine if its been breached then the Constitution become only a piece of useless paper.
Thanks for the information and clarification too. Do you think that the case in Washington and Georgia, (”Lawsuits in Washington and Georgia are seeking state superior courts to force the states’ secretary of state, as the chief state elections officer, to require Obama to produce original birth records from Hawaii, or else decertify him as a candidate for the presidency.” (from: http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_birth_certificate/2008/10/24/143882.html )will have any standing?
It's not over. Berg is appealing it.

Thought you two might enjoy each other’s posts.
Only a person who could show significant personal damage has standing. For this case, that would be another presidential candidate. If no other candidate raises the issue they are presumed to waive any objection to possible disqualifying deficiencies.
This line of reasoning is, of course, appalling in a democracy. Basicaly, it says only those contending to be among the governing class have standing. The rest of us are assigned to the status of “commoners” or “peasants.”
With public eduation brainwashingthe vast majority it is only a matter of time before we lose all of our freedoms. We are, indeed, on the road to serfdom.
Yes, but also a Hitlery supporter.
Awesome Thanks!!!!!!!
