The “birthers” lose, again.

This morning, a U.S. District Court Judge in Santa Ana dismissed a federal lawsuit challenging President Obama’s election on the grounds he wasn’t born in the U.S.

In his opinion, Judge David O. Carter stated that it is not within the constitutional power of the federal courts to “overthrow a sitting president.”

The case, brought forward by California attorney Orly Taitz, a leader of the so-called “birther” movement, claims that Obama doesn’t meet the constitutional qualifications to be president because he has not shown he is a “natural born citizen” of the U.S.

Obama has produced a birth certificate from Hawaii, but Taitz claims there is evidence he was born in Kenya.

This case has failed to advance beyond several lower courts. Taitz was also fined $20,000 on Oct. 13 by a federal judge in Columbus, Georgia in part because Taitz had used the legal system to pursue “political rhetoric and insults,” the judge in that case stated.

In the most recent case, Carter wrote in his opinion how “plaintiffs have attacked” anyone who has dismissed their claim as “unpatriotic and even treasonous.”

“Respecting the constitutional role and jurisdiction of this court is not unpatriotic," he said. "Quite the contrary, this Court considers commitment to that constitutional role to be the ultimate reflection of patriotism.”

I would go with treasonous. To me it looks like there is not any justice.
The people are not able to be heard. I don't think we have heard the last of this.

I don't know if we'll ever know for sure where the Kenyan was hatched, but I'm betting that if there were any doubt about a Republican's origin, it would be the most investigated story ever.

Actually, I want no harm to befall this communist halfrican that lives in the White House.  This country apparently needs a good lesson in freedom, liberty and economics and how far down the road to ruin it is possible to go when you choose a pied piper to lead the parade.   

There's another lesson that this country needs to learn and that is that although the Republicans left a lot to be desired when they were in power (Congress and the White House), the Dumbycrats are worse by an uncalculable factor.
