Why does the DOJ want to drop the lawsuit before it gets to court? Hmmm . . . .

Why is the DOJ weighing in on this so called “non issue”?

federal attorneys argued that the suit is inherently flawed because such disputes can't be resolved in court

..... and .....

because the dozens of plaintiffs can't show they are directly injured by Obama's presence in office.

DOJ sounds fishy to me.....

Tally ho! This is significant! When before has the DOJ been involved in any altercation concerning the BC? If nothing else, this makes the SRM even more derelict if they won’t report.

“the dozens of plaintiffs can’t show they are directly injured by Obama’s presence in office.”

Really? I doubt that that’s true.
In any case, Is everyone in the DOJ involved in a giant coverup? It makes no sense. There’s a law governing qualifications for president but no way to enforce that law?

Because the plaintiff lacks the standing to sue. Same reason why all the other cases have been tossed.

Because since they're suing the president, the U.S. Attorney handles the defense.

“”It is clear, from the text of the Constitution, and the relevant statutory law implementing the Constitution’s textual commitments, that challenges to the qualifications of a candidate for President can, in the first instance, be presented to the voting public before the election, and, once the election is over, can be raised as objections as the electoral votes are counted in the Congress,” Assistant United States Attorneys Roger West and David DeJute wrote. “Therefore, challenges such as those purportedly raised in this case are committed, under the Constitution, to the electors, and to the Legislative branch.”

In other words, “You didn’t get us to court before he was sworn in, too late! Obama won.”

I think as time wears on, this is not going to be seen as a ‘conspiracy theory’ that Obama wants it made out to be.

Also, this somewhat explains why the Congress is not wanting anything to do with this. They KNOW they should have vetted him before casting the electoral votes and they didn’t.

He’s ingested far too much Obama juice to be taken seriously.

OBOZO is sweating bullets since the case is getting closer to actually happening. Let's hope Judge Carter does not fall to pressure OBOZO's thugs will use.

Also, any update on the last sentence?

("..since a couple of plaintiffs in the case are now in a dispute with Taitz and have sought to bring in a different attorney to represent them in the case.")

Kind of like all the stuff Taitz and the Birther community crank out.

The DOJ should not be involved. Obama should have private attorneys fighting this. Orly needs to get someone to proof read her filings.

Apparently so.....

.....When the USSC had the opportunity to look into the issue, they punted.

I guess it's been the trojan horse in the Constitution, rules with no enforcement mechanism.

In the words of Algore, "No controlling authority" means its a rule you don't have to follow. The RATS are the party of legalisms, loopholes, backdoor judicial legislation, and un-confirmed executive branch czars. Rules don't matter to them.

I agree. We all are subjected to anything and everything the President says and does and none of us more so than the military. Disregarding orders is a flagrant violation of military code, but that doesn't mean following orders blindly, without question, especially if the one giving those orders is fraudulently holding that rank. We aren't talking about a school crossing guard, but rather the President who can order us to war.

If the President is merely inept, incompetent and/or stupid, that's a matter for the ballot box to correct.

But if the President isn't Constitutionally eligible and may broken various laws in a quest for that office, that is a matter for the legal system.

The intent of the founders that the President be a natural born citizen with no divided loyalty to America and to some other foreign power(s) is very clear.
