Kerchner v. Obama Dismissed
Kerchner v. Obama has been dismissed by Judge Jerome B. Simandle.

This case has been handled for the Birthers by Mario Apuzzo in the District Court for the District of New Jersey.

As in every case before it, the plaintiffs have no standing.

If these idiots would simply read their constitution, the only potential plaintiff with standing is the House of Representatives. They would ahve to indict via articles of impeachment and the Senate would have to convict via a 2/3 majority vote.

No court in the land has jurisdictiion over this, and the courts know it.

1. No doubt Mario has waived his fees.

3. Given that the FReeps persist in ignoring that Land (Taitz's judge) is a "W" appointee
I'd say that this judge will also be labeled as a stooge who's in the tank for Obama.

8. I've seen posts where they believe that Judge is in cohoots with Rahm.
So apparently Rahm is obstructing justice and basically he's all under Obama's Chicago ways.

5. Not surprising....
It's pretty much how every birther case gets dumped. The interesting thing about this case though is that Apuzzo was one of the first to try the claim that "a Natural Born US citizen means both parents were US citizens at the time of birth." argument. This has been an increasing lynchpin in the birthers court case of late too.

6. Donofrioplayed that game first
and he's thrown his hat back into the ring, albeit without an actual case, yet.

It's amazing to me that they'll accept a Swiss philosopher's definition of "natural born citizen" over SCOTUS precedent (Wong v. Arkansas). Especially when that Swiss philospher wrote after the constitution was written!

9. Sooner or later
the birthers are going to hit on a judge who is a closet freeper and will give them the 'discovery' they crave.

It may even be Judge Carter in CA. He seems to be giving their arguments much more serious consideration than any of the others.

Also, in my experience, anyone who goes out of their way to tell you how 'non-political' they are, as Carter did repeatedly at oral argument, is usually just the opposite.

10. Nope
There isn't a judge on the federal bench that will give this any more thought that the motion to dismiss.

Carter's just drawing it out. He'll grant the motion to dismiss. Bank on it.

11. Just because they SHOULD doesn't mean they WILL.
Carter 'should' have never let this go on as long as it has.

I hope you are right, but these are interesting times.
