I wish Drudge wouldn’t link to AP. The AP story about the dismissal confidently states, “Obama was born in Hawaii.” Get a clue! That’s the whole point at issue in the lawsuit! But we all know he was born in Hawaii, don’t we? Talk about begging the question....
Yes...and Drudge titles the link “Judge tosses lawsuit challenging citizenship...”
directly under “Palin alarmed at nanny state..”
Makes it look like it’s a link about Palin...
This “No standing” is the new excuse to toss out lawsuits...the US Supreme Court just used it for the Ohio ACORN fraud...I guess a concerned citizen doesn’t have standing.
A citizen not having standing to sue in court to prove a presidential candidate meets the qualifications is like taxation without representation. The courts are a branch of government that checks and balances the other two branches...if U.S. citizens aren’t a party with an interest in whether a candidate is qualified under the U.S. Constitution to be president then who is? The lawsuit simply asks for Mr. Obama to produce a certified copy of birth certificate. This “SHOULD” be a mandate for presidential candidates...and not their copy but a copy issued by the state...sent from the state to the F.E.C.
I’d also support a bill that would require any citizen in the United States to request as an interested party a copy of a U.S. Presidential candidates birth certificate...even if it is just for curiosity or a souvenir collection (like campaign buttons). You do lose some privacy running for president. I think there should be a law or regulation that allowed citizens access to acquire a copy of the presidential candidates birth certificates....this wouldn’t be free...we’d still have to pay...but we have more of an interest in candidates than just some joe schmo off the street.
