Half a million Americans have signed a petition in support of these eligibility lawsuits and the courts dismiss it as frivolous.

“Half a million Americans have signed a petition in support of these eligibility lawsuits and the courts dismiss it as frivolous.”

I was not aware that Courts are required to make decisions based on the number of people that happen to sign a certain petition.

In this case, this is what the court is saying make it frivolous: "failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted." So even if Obama is proven ineligible, the court can say there's no way for the court to provide relief for the claim ... as in the courts don't think it's in their jurisdiction to declare a president ineligible, remove the president or nullify the elction results because the Constitution doesn't specifically give them these powers. Nevermind that the court gives itself plenty of other powers not defined in the Constitution or elsewhere. This is their fallback excuse for staying out of the issue.

Half a million Americans believe Elvis was an alien.
