Good questions. The “standing” determinations seem to be just a big eraser the O admin uses to protect itself from the law. If U.S. citizens do not have standing then who the hell was the Constitution and Bill of Rights referring to.
I guess I just can’t accept the position that eligibility is a “nonstarter” and we need to focus elsewhere.
Any chance of going after this in a State court? All of the suit thus far have been federal, and all have, or are apparently about to, meet the same fate.
Some place in this chain is going to be its weakest link. And it could be a link that no one had ever thought of before. That weak link will continue to be weak, regardless of how sturdy every other link is. Of course a lot of the links can't even be tested since so far no one has been found to have the standing to demand a test.
If Obama is as phony as he appears to be to most of us around here it's only a matter of time before something catches on, and that's all it will take. Just one.
Many of the Obama eligibility lawsuits are state court suits. Thus far every state level lawsuit has been denied or dismissed for lack of standing. Some of the earliest lawsuits even tried to sue the state Secretaries of State (Leo Donofrio’s suit in New Jersey and Alan Keyes’ in California for example). None have yet succeeded.
Oops! I though the ones so far had been in Federal court.
Who would have thought it would so damned difficult, impossible, to handle something so clearly spelled out in the Constitution?
