Stringing out what a party considers a nuisance lawsuit is common practice. The complaint is filed. Shortly before the deadline, the defending party asks for, and generally receives, an extension to answer. The “answer” usually is a motion to dismiss based on some perceived defect such as standing, forum non conveniens, statute of limitations, inadequate pleading. The motion is answered and a hearing is scheduled a month or two down the line. If the motion is dismissed, the defendant is given another 30 days or so to answer.

So it is very easy to string this out until past the election. If Obama wins the election, the lawsuit might be able to proceed but if it is successful, it just results in a Biden presidency. If Obama loses, the lawsuit is rendered moot and any challenge to his bona fides as a U.S. citizen would probably have to be brought in Illinois. The Obama campaign gains nothing by taking this lawsuit seriously beyond procedural challenges.

There is one thing I have to add.

If the law suit proceeds after the election, the electoral college may take notice of it, and refuse to vote Obama on constitutional grounds of his not being "natural born."

Obama could end all this by producing a COLB.

Has the election commission seen one?

Produce the evidence case dismissed. All other 'procedural challenges' in this case is crap total crap.

Great reply btw.

it just results in a Biden presidency.

I knew it! Biden himself said Hillary was more qualified than him to be VP. So, Biden gets the gig- picks Hill as VP, and then bows out due to bursitis or something equally debilitating, and she's President!

Man, I don't have to visit Arkansas, it's coming to us! Again!

Trouble is: Sarah Palin will bust a cap in all their plans after her debate with Biden. Thursday, two days from now, will be a day to be remembered. That's the day the Marxist Machine and all who ride in it gets turned upside-down. I'll drive the Al-Can highway just to shake her hand in thanks.

It would necessarily be moot if Obama loses.
Obama would be guilty of massive fraud, unless it could be established that he didn't know he wasn't constitutionally eligible. (Heck of a note for a US Constitutional Professor!) He has defrauded the Democrat party, the American people, and anybody else who in good faith donated money to him. (And don't forget the Illinois Bar Association & the State of Illinois for his law license!)
