You realize how foolish birthers look every time they step into a court, don’t you?

No, I realize how standing was not in place when the Constitution was made and Presidential eligibility was made. The fact that standing is now being used to try and thwart the people who are trying to enforce the eligibility requirements is what is foolish to me. People like you who claim to be patriots who do the same look foolish to me.

Just because you feel a grievance doesn’t mean you have a case. And just because a handful of people agree doesn’t mean you have a case. This isn’t peculiar to Obama, but a long standing principle of American law. Wiki has a concise article here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_%28law%29

But all you would need to do to force a court case would be to have a state legislature or DA or SecState rule that having two citizen parents is required for being placed on the presidential ballot. The moment you do that, the other states would have to sue to prevent different standards being placed on federal candidates.

The problem is that you haven’t been able to convince anyone to make such a ruling or pass such a law. Nor have you been able to convince the Supreme Court that they need to step in on this issue.

So you can call me names, and say my arguments have no legal merit, but I’ll merely respond that every state & every Congressman and every court to date agrees with my legal theory and disagrees with yours. And that is hard to deny.
