Voeltz v. Obama Dismissed

[TheOldLady]

The Great Pretender is spinning in his grave.

So now Squatter's Rights extend to the White House.

The gist of it was he was up for reelection and if he ruled against Santa Claus, his campaign would be doomed. Maybe there’s a parallel?

Plaintiff’s rememdy, if there is any, (and this Court does not suggest there is) lies with Congress pursuant to Title 3 U.S.C. [Section] 15. See also Robinson v. Bowen, 567 F. Supp. 2d 1144, 1147 (N.D. Cal. 2008)(concluding that issues regarding Presidential qualification are committed to the Congress).

EXACTLY!
However, Birthers are LIBERALS who demand that the COURTS settle everything!
Congress has Jurisdiction over these matters, and Congress has MADE its decesion!

What the court actually found:

---

Again, Birthers are Liberals who seem to believe that the Courts are the FINAL say on any matter.
You can not get more Liberal than to support “Judicial Supremacy”.

Ray, this is an issue for the SCOTUS.

They have ducked it. Until they accept an appeal to hear a case on its merits, this schmuck judge has just as much right to say what he said as anyone else. Of course he is an obnoxious anus, but then again, he is pretty sure he won't be reversed because the case is going nowhere on appeal.

It's like Sheriff Joe, OK. He has the goods on Obama. So frickin' what? Where's he supposed to take the evidence? Cops are not triers of fact. If the SCOTUS won't correct them, lower courts can do as they wish.

The only way for this general case to have any chance of success is to make Obama the Plaintiff.

In other words, some state official (AG, Governor, etc) would have to take Obama off the ballot, which they have a perfect right to do under state constitutional authority, and which in fact they do in many an election. They rule on the eligibility of candidates for every office in the state! If a candidate removed from the ballot, has a beef with the official's decision, that candidate beconmes the PLAINTIFF and the State THE DEFENDENT, automatically giving the PLAINTIFF standing in a lawsuit seeking relief.

That's the way to get this to the SCOTUS. However, since NOT ONE, NOT 1 state official in the country has seen fit to do his constitutional duty and honestly question Obama's eligibility, he ran, won, and serves ... although IMNSVHO ...constitutionally ineligible to do so.

Sorry, but Obama’s own lawyers have cited courts (including state courts) for defining NBC (although not correctly). The Constitution does give the courts the power to resolve controversies arising under the Constitution. There’s nothing that specifically gives Congress exclusive power to resolve a Constitutional issue.
