The fascinating thing to me is the Lucy and the football aspect. It seems every freeper lawyer who comments on this tells the NBC'ers the same thing - born in the US (usual diplomatic exceptions) has been held by the courts to mean natural born, and no court will find otherwise now just because some people want a shortcut to the hard work wining the 2012 election. Why they think a judge will find a different outcome this time is beyond me. And it just makes people look like the tin foil hat brigade to accuse every judge of treason for a judgment that was completely predictable given the plaintiffs entered the Hawaii COLB into evidence and stipulated 0bama was born in Hawaii.

There is reality, and there is the court's opinion of reality. Sometimes they coincide, and often they do not. The Court's opinion clashed with reality in the case of Roe v Wade, Kelo v New London, and Lawrence v Texas. (et al)

That it should clash with reality in the case of eligibility challenges to the Fuhrer is hardly surprising, because the court system is an extremely slow learner. It is like a dull witted child that relies too heavily on what it has heard others say.

Trying to get the courts up to speed is difficult, because they already think they know everything. The one type of person that you cannot educate is a "Know it all", and that is an apt description of our Legal system. As Reagan said:

The problem with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it is just that they know so much that isn't so.

Indeed, another apt description of the courts.

Except in this case, as I have posted for you many times in other threads, the decision is consistent with many earlier decisions, and with the common law heritage of this country. Anyone who thinks the court is going to ignore over a century of precedent is dreaming. Claiming that the judges are all idiots or slow witted isn’t going to change that.

What I want to know- is Orly gunning for another sanction and fine?
