I doubt it but IANAL. Our system of justice requires the plaintiff to prove his case. It doesn’t require the defendant to prove his innocence or the plaintiff’s case.
Birthers continue to pose one ridiculous scenario after another in an attempt to obtain a different answer - an answer with which they agree.
Isn’t that the definition of insanity? Repeating the same action and expecting a different result?
That is a not a definition of insanity, but it is a common saying. If it were the definition of insanity, 99.95% of people could be 72 houred right now.
What’s fascinating about this is that they’re carrying on about issues which, as Old Deck Hand said, aren’t controversial at all. Legally, they are CRYSTAL CLEAR.
If these people want to complain about legalese and Alice-in-Wonderland stuff, they should latch on to environmental and safety regulations. I did work for private industry once that has made me a consultant on certain types of cases, and Good God Almighty. Way too much of that is just completely mindless. I actually did a case once that turned on how much exposure to a certain chemical a worker could get if he could stay alive in a room engulfed in flames. Seriously. I found a sentence in a related reg that weaseled out of that, but it’s so painful. You have to think like them to beat them.
And “gun-rights activists” continue to challenge gun restrictions; yet that there are still restricted areas [like courtrooms] obviously means that their cause is insane.

Such behavior, minus the false deprecations you presumecated upon the efforts, is indeed the mark of genius, resolve, steadfastness, leadership in crisis and even first rank genius.
On October 29, 1941 Winston Churchill said to the student body assembled at Harrow School:
"Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
The founder of Honda Motors noted the following :
"People see my success is only one percent. But, they do not see my 99% failure "
American inventor and entrepreneur Thomas Edison agreed with that:
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
