I only read parts of the ruling.

This court considers Obama to be POTUS, solely because he was sworn in as POTUS. (I disagree with the judge, but the judge puts a LOT of emphasis on the swearing-in ceremony). Obama’s removal would then have to be by Congress. Because Obama is now POTUS (in this court’s opinion), Alan Keyes no longer can demonstrate injury, and thus does not have standing.

There are some very positive things here, things that will work in favor of discloure of the BC in an appeal.

First - the case was dismissed because this judge felt that he lacked jurisdiction to take action against another branch of the government. Implication is that a higher court might have jurisdiction.

Second - he discusses that, as a candidate, Alan Keyes, DID have standing, even though he was a minor candidate. The judge seemed particularily concerned that this suit wasn’t filed until after the swearing-in ceremony (Orly and Kreep are responsible for this delay). IMHO - This will make it very difficult for Obama to run in 2012 without disclosing his BC.

“...Alan Keyes no longer can demonstrate injury, and thus does not have standing....”

That raises an excellent question, namely, just WHO in the hell DOES have standing?
