Today, Leo Donofrio posted an article in which he posits that the best way to achieve standing in challenging an ineligible President, in his view, is to gather as many active military personnel and file suit in federal court:

This is EXACTLY what I have been saying. Leo rocks!

Ping, thoughts?

Good for him. Anything that weakens the Obamanation works for me.

Thanks for all of your pings. I am now returning the favor. :)

Deuteronomy 28:15-68 (New International Version)

43 The alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be the tail

Unfortunately, this will be as effective as urinating against the wind.

Favorite paragraph:

Lawyer” told me to look at footnote 1 wherein the Obama legal team requests that the court take Judicial Notice of something written at Factcheck.org. As if something written at Factcheck.org (a phony baloney name for a shill site if there ever was one) was proof of the matter asserted and just by their making a blog post a Federal Court should simply accept its veracity. Just because a blogger writes a story doesn’t mean that a Federal Court should accept that story as true. It’s patently ridiculous. Additionally, while Hawaii has gone on record to say they have a long form BC, they have never said that the long form BC proves Obama was born in Hawaii. This isn’t really my issue as I believe Obama isn’t eligible wherever he was born, but the way they are spinning words to make things look legit must make one wonder why they don’t just show the damn long form BC.

Okay let’s break down Bo’s lawyer Bob’s footnote.

1 President Obama has publicly produced

False. No proof that bo produced the BC.

a certified copy of a birth certificate

False. False. Not certified copy. Not a BC.

(concluding that the birth certificate is genuine,

False. False. Not certificate and not genuine

Executive orders are being signed: these would appear to open up “standing” to millions, not just millitary service members.

Example: Union workers impacted by work rule changes should have immediate standing, and if an action was taken by union members from several States, SCOTUS should have original jurisdiction.

if a active member of the military challenges the pres. on not being qualified to hold the office, in my opinion him or her are going to need plenty of support from the american people to make the voice loud enough so that the powers to be can not ignore it,we must demand of our political leaders, judges etc. to bring out the truth and let the chips fall where they may

bo's lawyer's argumentation can only be seen--by unbiased viewers--as an attempt to provide corrupt cover for jurists who desire to see bo skate out of his problems wrt these suits. No judge that escaped the sixth grade could fail to see the multiple fallacies in such argumentation.

If such putrid stench prevails in court, we are the banana republic we've long feared we could become.

Allow me to preface my remarks by saying that pro bono I have drafted a brief that overcomes the Standing problem among other troublesome issues.

I have been in daily communication with Orly and I think she is going to incorporate my brief with hers and file it for her next suit.

I have also offered my brief to Berg but I have not heard back from him. Donofrio could have it too, now that he is inclined to get back in the game.

The problem here is that other than Orly, we have lawyers who are letting their egos and political considerations get in the way of not getting the job done for the good of our Country.

Any service member that does this is treading on very dangerous ground and should check with JAG before signing on.

Thanks, I knew that was definitely a not recommended action re the UCMJ during the election, but that is good advice for anyone who wants to jump in this.. it is important to be aware of personal legal risks.
