I said that some (not all or most) were not subject to appeal. Some of these cases also involved procedural objections, which had as much or more to do with the reason for failing on appeal. And you're only showing two cases appealed to the Supreme Court, which does not equal "several." But it doesn't matter. The legal foundations in these decision are all over the road. There are no consistent and sound legal foundations for reaching the conclusion that is clearly at odds with unanimous Supreme Court precedent. The most notorious of these cases is Ankeny which admits that its nonbinding conclusions are not supported by caselaw. These means the other cases that cited Ankeny (instead of the Supreme Court) have no legal basis. p
The Ankeny ruling was denied a hearing at the Indiana Supreme Court and not further appealed to the federal appeals courts. The Indiana Court of Appeals ruling seems to make sense to other judges, many of whom have cited it in subsequent rulings. The arguments for the defense in Ankeny were posited by Gregory Zoeller, the conservative Republican Attorney General of Indiana who represented Mitch Daniels, the Governor of Indiana who is the former George W. Bush administration Budget Director.
No highly respected conservative constitutional attorney has taken an Obama eligibility lawsuit as a case. I’m talking about the constitutionalist legal foundations such as the Pacific Legal Foundation, the Landmark Legal Foundation or The Center For Individual Rights. Additionally none of the former Solicitors General in the Reagan, G.H.W. Bush or G.W. Bush administrations has gone near an eligibility lawsuit or appeal.
The quality of the lawyering is a primary reason why many eligibility-related civil actions have been dismissed on dispositive motions. Orly Taitz, in particular, has had lawsuits dismissed for failure to effect proper service of subpoenas upon the people she was suing. A competent attorney simply hires process servers whose job it is to effect proper service.
The first eligibility-related lawsuit (filed in March, 2008) to be dismissed for lack of standing (July, 2008) was Hollander v. McCain. New Hampshire Republican Primary voter Fred Hollander sued John McCain and the Republican Party claiming that McCain’s birth in Panama made him ineligible. Mc Cain’s attorneys and the Republican National Committee attorneys got the lawsuit thrown out on the grounds that Hollander did not have standing to bring suit.
The first Obama eligibility lawsuit (Berg v. Obama) was filed in August, 2008 and dismissed in October, 2008.
