Duh. When you had asked why I wasn't filing any suits I assumed you meant on my own behalf. But Orly doesn't seem to be having any luck finding clients with standing to sue either.
IMO they all have standing, especially Alan Keyes...now why does the court disagree?
Maybe the judges don't have your creative imagination? Why do you think they all have standing to sue?
They have never explained, just made the pronouncement.
Read the decisions. The judges lay out their reasons there.
According to the definition of “Standing”, at the very least, Alan Keyes has standing....
I'm familiar with the definition of standing. Why do you think Keyes qualifies?
This was Carters Decision:
Judge Carter ruled that the non-candidate plaintiffs, which included various military personnel and a few state legislators, do not have standing. He was hesitant to rule that Alan Keyes lacks standing, because Keyes did run against Obama in the presidential election of November 2008. On the other hand, the judge emphasized that Keyes’ showing was so weak, that he could not possibly have been elected; he was only on the ballot in three states. The decision says, “It does seem highly unlikely that the replacement of President Obama with another Democratic nominee such as Hillary Clinton would have resulted in a victory for Plaintiffs Keyes, Drake of the American Independent Party.” But, the decision says, “The Court is troubled by the idea that a third party candidate would not have standing to challenge a major party candidate’s qualifications.”
The decision then decides not to decide the question of whether Keyes had standing, and instead rules that even if Keyes does have standing, his suit must fail because it was not filed until after Obama was sworn into office (the judge notes that the case was filed at 3:26 pm Pacific time, January 20, 2009). The decision then says that the power to remove a sitting president from office resides with Congress, not the Judicial Branch. The decision says, “There may very well be a legitimate role for the judiciary to interpret whether the natural born citizen requirement has been satisfied in the case of a presidential candidate who has not already won the election and taken office. However, on the day that President Obama took the presidential oath and was sworn in, he became President of the United States.”
It confuses me that Carter says Keyes MAY have standing, but that the date of filing is at issue. Standing is standing. Carter did not rule that he did not have standing.
Quote: By the way, the attorney does not have to have standing, just the client.
