the plaintiffs couldn't show they had been harmed

The judges should buy a newspaper once in awhile.

My understanding of the courts is that the 9th Circuit is the most liberal of them all. Why did they bring this action in the 9th? What am I missing here?

Ahh! The overused, abused ‘legal standing’ issue once again rears its ugly, judicial-activist head.
The fine legal minds here on FR have explained this over and over, and still it makes no logical sense to any rational human being, especially in this instance.

This bozo needs to vacate the office to which he pretends; and, soon.
This country can’t withstand another four years of the liberal lunacy that is hell bent on shredding the Constitution in favor of its socialist non-utopia.

Articles like this in the LA Times I can’t even get through. The bias so easily seen in how they pick and choose which points to bring up, and especially in their choice of wording — completely supporting the courts decision, and deriding the plaintiffs and their case as nothing but a conspiracy theory...

It’s one thing to report the findings, it’s another to write an article as if one’s classmate just got in trouble with the principal and you’re standing in the middle of the playground gossiping, and making fun... I guess some people never grow up (without looking I’m going to guess it may be a female writer because it definitely sounds like it was written in a “mean girl” style).

This is a total political hack job and NOT a “news article” by any stretch of the imagination... This type of “journalism” literally makes me ill.

LOL - I guess I was right about it being a woman who wrote this... “Carol J. Williams”. Tried looking up a bio, but no luck as of yet. I just get this feeling from her writing that she’s not someone you’d really want to be friends with - just gives off that “mean girl” vibe I guess (she’s probably known as a “really nice person” among her liberal cohorts).

The Diversion Continues.

Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

I don’t get the harm thing. What does someone breaking the law and not harming me have to do with anything. People who drive without licenses don’t harm me personally but they do break the law and do get fined for breaking the law every day.

Sooprize, sooprize.

The 9th circuit needs to lose its tax-exempt status.

It’s a political activist organization.

What happened to Trump’s investigation in Hawaii?? He said his ‘investigators’ turned up amazing stuff there on Obama.

Even the political candidates who lost to Obama in 2008 would only have had standing to sue if they had filed their complaint alleging unfair competition from an ineligible candidate before the election, the 9th Circuit judges said.

Okay, we are now in a period of time before the election - the 2012 election. Somebody needs to re-file and use the 9th Circuit's dictum against them.

If you want to screw justice and the law, always go to the 9th Circuit panel. They have the nerve.
