I, along with a great many others, have a big issue with the whole ‘standing’ concept. It’s been argued here, ad nauseum, but it still just doesn’t make sense to rational people that a US citizen, or a member of the Armed Forces of the US, or a directly opposed candidate from the same election cycle...not one of them has ‘standing’ to challenge this pretender in the US Court system. It’s simply preposterous. A classic example of the frequent conflict between what is legal and what is right.


“Standing” as a lawyer once told me “means whether the judge got some last nite, or not”.

Standing in a court case is the excuse used by a judge to not hear a case. Amazing that the ACLU always has “standing” no matter how vague or frivilous their case is....but someone asking Obama for proof of birth location.....nope.

Bears repeating.

Some birther-control devices are more reliable than others.
