The issue of the President’s citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama’s two-yearcampaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court.

The problem with that stance is only a court of law can "get to the facts."

Vigilant citizenry can talk all they want amongst themselves but these words suggest facts are trumped by action of the voters. When has "Will of the People" stopped a court from striking a voter approved law down as unconstitutional?

The "birther" questions are the easiest ever to settle. It amazes me the issue continues to be presented without having been definitively resolved.

The possibilities are this is a red herring when there's no issue and it's just seen as good political strategy, or there is an issue. I lean towards the former because it smells like Dem politics.

We know if these questions were about a Republican, all records, no matter the law or how tightly sealed, would have been leaked a dozen times over by now.

If that were the case, why wouldn't they have played that card prior to Nov. 2nd when Pelosi and so many others loosing power (or their seat)? Not to mention any change of political momentum (or loss thereof by the Dems) across the country as a whole. That would seem to be terrible strategy.

No, IMO, if it were a red herring...the time to expose it would have been prior to 11/2/2010.
