Yes, on matters of high crimes like potentially forging citizenship, I can see how a judge would let some Obama minion write such an asinine opinion for him.
If he had ruled the other way, the Plaintiff would’ve written the decision.
Ultimately, he ruled that Berg didn’t have standing to sue. McCain might have legal standing, as he can allege demonstrable legal harm — though few people, conservatives or liberals, are taking these rumors very seriously.
Personally, this looks like a desperation ploy to me. Many conservatives are simply so afraid of Obama winning that they’re willing to seize on ANY scandal, no matter how much of a longshot.
Now, you’re seizing on a non-scandal within a non-scandal and trying to destroy the career of a judge because he (1) employed a law clerk that works for Obama’s former (gigantic) law firm, (2) forgot to date stamp the ruling, and (3) has an unexplained 9-minute fax differential.
This is silly. We lost this case. We’ll appeal. We may lose again (Berg’s legal standing is a bit questionable). I’m simply tired of conservatives and liberals trying to destroy the career of people who disagree with us (Tom Delay, Trent Lott, this schmuck judge, etc).

I’m also a bit tired of electoral politics having to go through judges. There was a time when the winner won, the loser lost ... and the judges stayed home.
Its better if we don’t set the precedent of having judges “qualify” presidential candidates ... lest we have to defend ourselves before the 9th circuit circus because of random rumors.
