so we wait to see if the man is elected, and then you contest it in court? this is rediculous. It needs to be ferreted out now.
the question is, Are McCain and Obama eligible to become president of the United States? the voters have a right to know this BEFORE they vote..
Essentially, yes. American courts don't rule on something that could potentially happen. There needs to be an actual legal controversy before them. Neither Obama nor McCain have been elected to the Presidency. At this point, asking the courts to rule on their eligibility for the office would be like asking them to rule on the eligiblity of you or me- there is simply no legal question before them.

I agree that the voters have a right to know, but the courts are not the appropriate place to find the answer.
