I had heard that a similar lawsuit against McCain had been dismissed. One would think that the lawyers for McCain would have a field day over the evidence for the birth certificate forgery in Obama's camp.
Here is the key paragraph, perhaps holding the McCain team back a little bit: Anyhow, they argued, the Constitution says issues of presidential eligibility are to be decided by voters and the Electoral College and not the courts — a matter of separation of powers among the government's branches. And federal courts lack jurisdiction and cause to direct Bowen to exceed her statutory powers by questioning a party nominee's eligibility.
What a joke of a competition for POTUS when even questions about where both McCain and Obama are born and presidential eligibility because of this are in question! McCain should truly be all over Obama over Obama’s fake birth certificate!

Slightly off topic, but very funny. Are these the same voters who couldn't figure out which hole to punch in the 2000 Florida ballot?
Alan Keyes truly isn’t Presidential material, not after losing elections to a variety of political offices nine times in a row! Alan is a decent speaker and a decent writer, but he would truly be lousy as POTUS, IMHO. Alan Keyes and Newt Gingrich are somewhat in the same boat where they are terrific in both writing and speaking, but they are truly lousy in executive positions. Alan Keyes also truly has the additional weakness of being nutty, and I truly hope that Newt Gingrich doesn’t follow suit.
My take on this is that the High Court of Fruits and Nuts (Kalifornia) is laying the groundwork for Obama's case to also be thrown out. I would like to know where in the Constitution it states that presidential eligibility is a matter for the voters to decide.
Also, since when are the voters and EC a branch of government whose powers need to be separated? There are four branches of government now?
It IS the Court's powers to interpret the Constitution, and they are claiming it's not. It is certainly within their powers to decide a Constitutional question...they do it every day of every week. If Obama gets the popular vote, then he must be eligible. If McCain doesn't get the popular vote, then he must not be eligible. What a crock.
>>>they argued, the Constitution says issues of presidential eligibility are to be decided by voters and the Electoral College and not the courts — a matter of separation of powers among the government’s branches.
Is there any truth to this statement or was this just written for this argument?
Because, if this is true, than isn’t the department of health and vital statistics obligated to release Obama’s birth certificate in that FOIA that that blogger submitted?
Also, I had contacted the Department of Homeland Security a few weeks ago to see if we could register our republican organization for the eVerify program. Then an eligibility check could be run on people seeking public office and wanting our backing. I was told by DHS that politicians don’t work for the citizens, they worked for the government.
Any thoughts?
This bogus lawsuit against McCain should be tossed for the same reason that the suit against Obama in Philadelphia should be tossed. In neither case does the plaintiff have any standing to sue. And I’d like to see the judge in both instances make the plaintiffs pay compensation for the costs.
What a cast of characters. Empty suit Obama the Rock Star (by itself a reason not to vote for him); nasty, loony tunes John McCain; the evil-eyed Cindy (photos were posted on a FR thread which showed her with an evil stare); now Palin exposing her pregnant under-aged daughter to trashing.
This election would make blockbuster film with race, sex, adultery, money, drugs, embezzlement, amnesty, mental issues, Hillary, fears of Manchurian Candidate.
The founders were right. Who knows, we might get some nabob that hangs around Ayers and other commies.
If they are so confident, why not argue the merits instead of a technucality?
An intriguing aspect to the whole mix of these suits and the balls of wax that roll around within them is this(based on the information I’ve seen so far): Here we have the McCain team actually trying to fight, to openly try to answer and have the suit against their candidate thrown out; basically, stepping up to the confrontation and engaging at some level.
Meanwhile, we have the Obama camp apparently not even being attributed in any report that I’ve read with any kind of response or acknowledgment that Berg v. Obama even exists; if they have in fact successfully been served, I’d really be surprised, because last I knew, Berg said in interviews that service was being attempted and there was a run-around at the FEC, etc., but nary a peep from the official Obammunists.
I suspect the signs point to confidence in McCain’s legitimacy, and cowering evasiveness and reluctance to engage due to knowing fraud by Obama.

Not this.
McCain's been certified to run, and not Obama.
McCain showed his birth certificate to the media, Obama has not.
Thanks, Kevmo.
