Why would that be the easiest route, or even necessary? The judge had no problem finding reasons to dismiss the case without even going into whether the defendants name was Obama or Soetoro. The original ruling is here.
Thanks for posting the ruling. It shows that the court lied outright.
“The issue of the President’s citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama’s two-year-campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court.”
This is as ignorant a statement as could be made. Who’s the authority among the ‘vigilant citizenry’ that allegedly vetted Pres’ent Obama’s citizenship?? The rest of the ruling reads like a personal vendetta rather than a legal summary.
