Federal judge dismisses reservist's suit questioning Obama's presidency

A federal judge this morning dismissed the suit filed here by a U.S. Army reservist who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.

Judge Clay Land sided with the defense, which claimed in its response to Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook's suit, filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, that Cook’s suit is “moot” in that he already has been told he doesn’t have to go to Afghanistan, so the relief he is seeking has been granted.

"Federal court only has authority of actual cases and controversies," Land said. "The entire action is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction."

It appears that Obama will avoid at all cost - the requirement to PROVE his place of birth...

We should all know why, shouldn’t we?

So the get-out-of-war card, is a court filing (similar to Cook’s).

Yes, but what his job now that’s been fired for daring to challenge this fraud in the White House?

It would have been dismissed on lack of standing anyway.

This is interesting. Now a president has been set. All you have to do is say, “I don’t want go go because the president isn’t legit,” and you’re off the hook. No court-marshal, no nothing. (Except the sabotage of your personal and professional life - an issue which still has to be addressed by the courts.)

hmmm...

I think we can be pretty sure that it would show that he’s not qualified for holding this office—otherwise, we would have seen the birth certificate by now, and the ‘Rats would be beating us over the head with it.

Instead...

Just...

((((crickets))))

I get a real kick out of the ‘seasoned and reasoned’ forum posters, who take folks to task for not accepting that Obama is a citizen. My take on it is that he is definately not a natural born citizen. Further, it’s my take that this is only the tip of the iceberg.

I imagine he will no longer have a security clearance.

Wow, is right!

Normally, refusing an order to a combat zone is a serious breach of military disipline that brings many years in prison.

This should change a few people’s minds about the 0bama birth issue.

The thing is, the judge *did* imply that he had standing by taking the case. He only dismissed it after relief was granted. Basically, Cook won by default.

It will take lots of courage but who will be the next soldier, airman or sailor to step up to the plate?

Doesn’t putting your life on the line constitute “standing” ?

I cannot see any federal judge going against Jones V Bush.
