United States District Court Judge Jerome B. Simandle has dismissed the Kerchner v. Obama lawsuit challenging President Barack H. Obama's eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States.
"The Court finds that Plaintiffs Charles F. Kerchner, Jr., Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James LeNormand, and Donald H. Nelsen, Jr. lack standing to pursue their claims and so the Court must grant Defendants’ motion to dismiss."
Judge Simandle's full opinion is at the link.
Thank you.

But why do other COLB’s indicate “Accepted”
on file does not equal accepted.
Why did 0bama not request a COLB stating his documents are accepted?
That was so easy.
I believe (as I said to another poster) that “filed” might indicate a birth outside of a hospital, that is, a “home birth” reported by the mother/other relatives to the Dept. of Health. “Accepted” on a CoLB might indicate a hospital birth.
Well we have found another guilt infested resentful tender foot.
Let Parsi carry his own water. He does not need to hide behind your skirts.
Nope, have to be eligible to be sworn in.
The Constitution outlines what happens until the Candidate becomes eligible. The Candidate must demonstrate eligibility before anything can happen.
We can vote a 34 year old to the office of President, but that person cannot assume office until they reach age 35.
This is too easy
Are you saying that all four plaintiffs in the Kerchner case are active duty military?
Why is a judge entitled to determine the chances of a political candidate?
How does Congress “repeal” a specific clause in Article II of the Constitution? Perhaps you or El Gato can explain. I am confused. I did not know Congress could simply repeal the Constitution. That would seem to make the Constitution worthless. Thanks for letting us know.

Easy enough, when eligibility is a mere function of time.
I understand that California Secretary of State Frank Jordan kept Eldrige Cleaver off the ballot as a presidential candidate because he wasn't old enough (and he asked to see his birth certificate for proof). I understand also that Mr. Cleaver was a natural born citizen and complied with Mr. Jordan's reasonable request.
Senator Joe Biden ran for Senate at age 29 but could not assume his Senate seat until he turned the Constitutionally-prescribed age of 30.
Fortunately for the rest of us you are only partially correct although your hubris knows no bounds. You call them like you see them through jaundiced eyes. The suits that will be dismissed and that have been dismissed are the ones that rely upon general Article III standing, the well-known lack of standing of the “general taxpayer.”
If McCain had won, would you want the courts involved to throw him out because pro-Obama people were suspicious about him being a citizen, or NBC, or whatever?
Yes
I see nothing in here that indicates that any of these plaintiffs were in the military and in fact the selection clearly signals that they were not. It is a discussion of generalized Article III standing. Why does the early post say that they were active miiitary? That would seem to be misleading.
Point is, it's specualtion either way. A "what if". Barrack Hussien Obama denied Keyes the opportunity to find out. To collapse the wave function as it were.
That doesn’t mean Obama is eligible. It just means, we can’t pursue this method of removing him. We’ll have to find another way.
It just means that you are delusional.
So the judge was able to prognosticate that if he won those states it would have made no difference if it caused McCain to win them?
This clearly indicated a difference between citizen at birth and natural born citizen, and probably indicated that (1) the original understanding of the term did not include such persons (except perhaps those born while the father was serving in "the armies" but outside the country) , and (2) they then realized they couldn't modify the original meaning without a full Constitutional amendment.
Mario Apuzzo’s lawsuit dimissed.
Time for celebration trolls! Drink up! Enjoy! Your 0bamessiah kingdom is safe for another day. That means your paycheck should arrive on time. Let's party!!
You have made everything perfectly clear. “Zealousness” of your sort from a person in your condition is quite common. Pscyh 101. Fortunately, not everyone such as yourself fails to overcome the problem.
Should read:
Then 5 years latter, they repealed that law, the correpsonding section of the replacement law dropped the "natural born" part and just left "citizens".
Which inherently makes it irrelevant.
