We don’t have to prove anything.

Sorry, that is simply not the way the U.S. justice system works. If you go to court and claim he is not natural born, the burden of proof is on you and you better be prepared to back up your assertions or your case will be tossed. But before you even get to that stage, you have to prove you have the right to be in court in the first place. This is where the standing issue comes into play. The courts all ruled that none of these plaintiffs have standing. To have standing you must show that you will suffer irreparable harm unless the court takes your case. That irreparable harm must be direct to you. In other words, it is not sufficient to show that you will be harmed as a citizen. If your harm is no different than all other Americans, you do not have standing to be in court.

Rather than make blanket statements about who has something to prove, why don;t you show me how Berg or Donofrio has a special interest (greater than any other citizen in Obama's eligibility. That is what it is going to take to keep their cases going forward and I, nor any court, has seen it.

The plaintiffs in the case I’m involved with are a presidential candidate, a vice-presidential candidate, and a presidential elector. Do they have standing?

This is not a criminal case. This is a simple question of whether Barack Obama told the truth when he swore that he is qualified to serve as President. He hasn’t proven that he did.
