9th Circuit panel rejects suit filed by 'birthers' against Obama

A group of Southern Californians who insist that President Obama was born in Africa and should be ousted from the Oval Office had their case thrown out by a federal appeals court Thursday, but vowed to press their conspiracy theory with judges at the top of the judicial chain.
None of the "birthers" who filed suit on Inauguration Day 2009 can show that they suffered any harm from the Obama presidency that would give them the right to sue him, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said in dismissing the lawsuit brought by dozens of opponents.
Even the political candidates who lost to Obama in 2008 would only have had standing to sue if they had filed their complaint alleging unfair competition from an ineligible candidate before the election, the 9th Circuit judges said.
Lawyers for dueling factions of birthers said they would appeal the decision, with one group planning to seek review by a full 11-judge panel of the 9th Circuit and another that will go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court with a petition to reverse Thursday's decision.

See #16.
As I mentioned numerous times, a candidate with an accent that is refused a place on the ballot can have standing and sue for harm. A demand to show original papers, if any, would put 0b0z0 to pasture!
Unfortunately, when this really happened, the FEC let Abdul Hassan run to avoid an 0b0z0id disaster and to have a spread-the-Islamic-wealth election! LOL!

Will the Obot trolls show up to gloat over another ‘victory’ for their Won?

I don’t really care as long as we have “diversity” in the Presidential race!
Let’s wait until they allow environmentally friendly candidates to run. Such as windmills, solar panels, snails, snakes (we only have a confirmed one,) and others that just mentioning any of them will have this post pulled.
Thanks for the ping!
Amazing what the usual suspects will do to keep Hussein in office.
If you want to screw justice and the law, always go to the 9th Circuit panel. They have the nerve.
