focus people.
im actually glad this is over so we can focus on real silver bullets to take this clown obambi out..
Berg has got to be aN Obama plant to cover up stuff that would hurt Obama. He is a DEMOCRAT!!!
This makes it more suspicious than ever.
“Lacked standing”???? WTF does that mean?
Coverup! We all have status.
Ping!
And while I'm asking questions, where did the notion of standing come from anyway?

Philly’s another town with big shoulders.
Did anybody really think that ANY federal judge would take it upon himself to disqualify the Dem presidential candidate off the ballot?
I’m not surprised but Surrick could have made this call 30 seconds after he received the case.
There is at least one case, however, in southern California, where the candidate/office holder was running for reelection when it was established that she was an illegal alien, with no right even to register to vote, much less to run for public office.
The problem with amateurs in election law bringing cases like this is they do not know and use the prior cases which demonstrate how to establish jurisdiction in a way that the trial court cannot deny it. Of course, any judge wants a case like this to go away without having to decide it. That's exactly why the case has to be set up properly from the get-go.
Berg blew it, and gave the judge an opening to throw the case out. IMHO. I hope the case is better handled when it is filed in all states that Obama wins, to obtain a court order that his Presidential Electors cannot vote for him because he is not qualified to be elected President.
These things are relatively simple. But you've got to KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

The Declaration, the Constitution, parts of the Federalist, and America's Owner's Manual, here.
A far more likely path to get the issue into Court would be a suit by a State Secretary of State seeking a Declaratory Judgment as to whether he can properly certify Obama’s candidacy and electors on the November ballot. That should take care of the Standing Issue. A slightly weaker but still possible method might be a suit in Mandamaus, to compel the Secretary of State to determine Obama’s eligibility, etc..
The Purpose of the Constitution is to limit the government.
If only the government can determine if its been breached then the Constitution become only a piece of useless paper.
Regarding standing, how can the court say that a voter does not have standing when we, the people, are the government (“of the people, by the people and for the people”)? When “We the People of the United States” form our government and Amendment X plainly states that, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” who does have standing? If I am not mistaken, the power to vette is not delineated in the Constitution, thereby reserving that power to the States or the people.
Berg a Hillary supporter meets standing.
Obama won against Hillary.
What the hell? So is this judge effectively saying Congress would have to let an unqualified candidate get elected, then impeached and removed for the matter to be resolved? He's saying a legal voter has no standing because congress didn't specifically grant it?
That's a distressing legal view.
While I'm puzzled over varying recollections of which hospital Barry was born in and Kenyan relatives claim he was born there, and there may have been some "fraud" by his family in filling out school papers, the birth certificate produced by the campaign appears to be a legitimate certified copy from the state of HI. That doesn't mean it's an actual physical replication of the original as if from printed from microfilm or Xeroxed. It's clearly a new document printed on a modern form from 2001 (as noticed on the bottom left). I don't find this unusual.
