As I understand it a Federal Court, I think it was the Ninth Circuit Court, Disallowed a suit because the plaintiffs had no standing the reason given was that they DID have standing until the Election or maybe the inauguration for Obama was held.
But once that event occurred they no longer had standing only the Congress of the United States had standing and that was pretty much limited to impeachment proceedings.
Now with that logic then in this election season the President has two roles, One is as a seated President and the other is as a candidate running once more for his current office.
Therefore if my reasoning is correct, we as concerned citizens DO have standing as far as the person of the CANDIDATE for President is concerned and can voice our concerns via the Local And State Legal processes. We just don’t have any standing as far as the CURRENT President goes as long as he is ONLY in the role as President and not in the Role as Candidate for President.
Therefore a Lowly State Judge can have standing in enforcing the laws of his state on a current candidate for office.
To “The Working Man”, I think you are correct. That is how I see it too. Once 0zer0 was inaugerated, there is nothing the citizens can do. Only Congress could impeach him, and that won’t happen. The only hope is to challenge him as a candidate for re-election and have him removed from the ballots. Then he has to be elected as write-in.
I suspect the next line of attack from 0zer0 will be to play the race card against this Old Confederate State. If he can whip up the crazy occupy crowd and align them with blacks and have a few riots, then he can run against a “do nothing congress” and “ultra conservative rascits thugs tyring to deny the black man”.
The last thing he will do is produce his LFBC. Allowing himself to be removed from the Georgia ballot works to his favor in his twisted hate America world. We have to be prepared for dirt the likes of which we have never seen before. 0zer0’s narcissim will never allow him to quit, but will make him take down everyone else around him.
You are close.
It was the Taitz case with Judge Carter presiding (Keyes v Obama) in late 2009.
Judge Carter ruled that candidates, even those from minor third parties, have standing to challenge eligibility, up to the time of the election.
Citizens still don’t have standing because it is the electors that actually vote for POTUS. We vote for the electors.
