“...damages and costs for pursuing a frivolous appeal.”
But....World Nut Daily said “Appeals panel considers whether Obama is even American”

Admittedly, OldDeckHand wrote:
” The 3rd Circuit ISN’T going to “consider whether Obama is even American”. What they are considering is if the trial court erred when it granted defendant’s MTD, based on the lack of standing by plaintiffs. That’s it. If the 3rd Circuit three-judge panel concludes that it (the lower court) did err in granting the MTD, then they’ll remand to the district court. Since they’ve not scheduled oral arguments in the case, it’s not encouraging for appellants.”
But still...they don’t seem to have considered the case on its merits...or even that it HAD merit. Of course, the ‘standing problem’ was described here:
“We reaffirm Levitt in holding that standing to sue may not be predicated upon an interest of the kind alleged here which is held in common by all members of the public, because of the necessarily abstract nature of the injury all citizens share. Concrete injury, whether actual or threatened, is that indispensable element of a dispute which serves in part to cast it in a form traditionally capable of judicial resolution.””
Could it be that ODH was right, and the superb WND was...wrong?
WND can’t be wrong because Obama is bad.
This constitutes heresy around here. lol
Wing Nut Daily wrong? Say it ain't so! And I've always held in such high regard their "We found it on a blog somewhere and omitted the parts that didn't fit the story" style of investigative journalism.
The WND article was completely accurate, if you read the body of the article. (who bothers to do that?)
The title, as is usual in all news stories, was designed to hook the reader into reading the article. This is old hat in the news business, but the trolls here, the same ones that hate WND for its vocal Christian philosophy, will try to make an issue whereby they can attack the only site on the www that presents all the relevant news, not just the comfey stuff.
No surprise, huh?
Or was it the fact that the title did hook you into reading?
FR rules do require that original titles be used, so the postor did no wrong. - Take a tranquilizer or two.
