California Judge Dismisses 'Birther' Lawsuit

A federal judge in California has dismissed another case questioning President Obama's qualification to hold office, Politico 's Josh Gerstein reports . In a withering 30-page ruling, the judge attacked the suit brought by prominent "birther" leader Orly Taitz on behalf of military personnel and others, and accused the plaintiffs of trying to avoid going to war. "This Court will not interfere in internal military affairs nor be used as a tool by military officers to avoid deployment. The Court has a word for such a refusal to follow the orders of the President of the United States, but it will leave the issue to the military to resolve," the judge wrote.

The California case was the latest in a string of "birther" lawsuits to be angrily tossed by judges, usually accompanied by strongly worded rulings. Taitz, who has become a leader of the litigation campaign nationwide, typically finds military personnel who will request a "stay" of their deployment on the grounds that Obama has no authority to send them out on duty. ("Birthers" believe Obama was not born in the United States and cannot legally hold office.) A similar case was dismissed in New Jersey last week, and another in Georgia earlier this month. In the Georgia case, the judge fined Taitz $20,000 for violating the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Frog,

It was a frivilous lawsuit anyway. The birthers are wasting court time. In fact, they are wasting everyone's time with this.

Obama's official bc was displayed on MSNBC twice that I know of. I wonder why they won't accept it.

By the way...we have a new Obama supporter. His name is Joel. You can find him on my contacts. Let PattyP and the rest know when you run into them. Thanks

little richard, there is no such article. plus more than 1 judge have told these wacko birthers to take a hike. you nut jobs send your money to these people to spend a couple bucks to file a law suit. they know it will be turned down and they pocket millions off of you wackos. its a nice scheme to make money off of the paranoid right.

Richard,

So, I guess EVERYONE is helping to conspire with Obama? Even his mother, grandparents, wife, friends, the governor who signed his Hawaiian BC, and all. This can't be true that he is a natural born citizen. NOOOOO! Everyone is conspiring to help him. From the time of his birth people have been conspiring to help him become president.

That sounds paranoid and downright LOONEY! The birthers themselves are a group of NUT CASES!
