I’ll pass on what I read on another board.
The theory is that Obama, being a Constitutional scholar, feels that ordinary citizens lack standing to challenge anything in or about our Constitution.
Therefore he is using this ‘birth certificate’ deal as a test case to verify his theory.
In other words, only the courts could challenge him on this issue, and since the court has decided that Mr. Berg et. al. do not have standing, and the court has stated that it doesn’t feel the challenge is really necessary, because it would cause a great deal of pain and suffering to all those who have voted, it looks as if nothing will be done.
Soooo, Obama will be free to say that The Constitution is a ‘flawed document’ after all, and change it as he sees fit, or do away with it altogether
I know, it’s a reach.
But stranger things have happened in this election cycle!
“The theory is that Obama, being a Constitutional scholar, feels that ordinary citizens lack standing to challenge anything in or about our Constitution.”
Some of us ‘ordinary’ citizens beg to differ.
In any case — as a Presidential candidate — Alan Keyes should be found to have ‘standing’(see below).
KEYES LAWSUIT:
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/AlanKeyesSuit.pdf
Excerpt:
WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully prays:
90. That the court issue a peremptory writ in the first instance barring Respondent Secretary
of State of California, Ms. Bowen, from both certifying to the Governor the names of the California
Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until such
documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a ‘natural born’ citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain. In addition, this writ requests that the court issue a peremptory writ barring Respondent California Electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a ‘natural born’ citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.

Since we do not vote directly for the president, that argument might hold water. But several electors from the electoral college have joined in some of the lawsuits and since they DO vote for the president, they do have standing. Also, the lawsuit Alan Keyes is involved in is suing to prevent the 55 electors from CA from being released to vote for Obama until he produces his original birth certificate, not just a forged COLB.
There is a case with the supreme court right now, and Zero has until Dec. 1 to respond, and Dec. 5th all 9 justices will conference on it. Another case was filed with the SC last week. Apparently Justice Thomas felt there was something here to at least look at. We'll see.
