No “standing”? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

‘Judge Richard Barclay Surrick ruled that Philip Berg, an attorney in the state of Pennsylvania, lacked standing to bring such a suit.’

BERG APPEALS TO SUPREME COURT AND ASKS – WHO DOES HAVE STANDING?

So says the ‘Sunday Nation’ (African site). This publication also made the claim that this is a desperate attempt by “extremists” to prevent Obama from winning, neatly omitting to mention that the complainant is a Democrat and NOT a (right-wing) Republican.

‘Many of the same extremists have sought to link Senator Obama closely to Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who is portrayed by Obama-haters as both a communist and a supporter of radical Islam.’

AN EXPERIMENT

TONY BLAIR STANDS FOR US PRESIDENCY

Listen up, folks in Africa, America, Europe or elsewhere who are throwing the racist jibes around.

Let’s replace Obama with a white non-American … oh, I don’t know … let’s say Tony Blair for the sake of argument.

Tony Blair with Senator Obama earlier this year.

If Tony Blair had been chosen as the candidate for either party on the grounds that he was popular, respected and could bring people together right across the political spectrum, do you really think no-one would question his eligibility? Of course they would, on the grounds that he was born in Britain. People of all races would be right so to do.

According to the US constitution you need to be a “natural born Citizen” to stand as President. No ifs, no buts.

So Blair’s candidacy would be thrown out, and rightly so.

WHAT IF…

If Mr Obama IS elected president and afterwards it is confirmed that he was NOT born in the USA, what happens then?

• Is it a fait accompli and the constitution is altered retrospectively to allow any and all others from any and all countries to stand for president. (Might we have President Ahmadinejad in 2012?)
• Or is it accepted as a one-off boob – a bit like the female catholic pope?
• Or does Obama stand down, do a spell inside for misrepresentation of the facts, as Joe Biden becomes President?
• Or do the Republicans take over by default?
• Or are there new elections with a new Democrat candidate?

It seems an odd decision to say that Mr Berg has “no standing” to file such a claim about the potential leader of the Free World.

We are still awaiting confirmation that Mr Obama’s birth certificate has been cleared as genuine. When that is done by a court/body trusted on all sides, we can all forget the claims. And I’m sure we will.

The Count Us Out site has a scanned photocopy of the judge’s decision (pdf)

They quote Berg here:

This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution. If I don’t have standing, if you don’t have standing, if your neighbor doesn’t have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States – the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world – then who does?

So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned.

According to Judge Surrick, we the people have no right to police the eligibility requirements under the U.S. Constitution.

What happened to ‘…Government of the people, by the people, for the people,…’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863.

We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the Office of the Presidency of the United States,” Berg said.

And Berg’s ‘Obama Crimes’ site has the press release (pdf) which he has released.

WHO SAID: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction”?

But if they want Obama in many if not most European countries, what does it matter if he is ineligible to stand?

Billboard in Belgrade, Serbia. WHY? Do THEY have a vote? "Change we can believe in. Europe has no alternative". What absolute ignorant codswallop!

After all …
