Another Obama citizenship lawsuit thrown out...this is kinda hysterical
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday threw out a lawsuit questioning President Barack Obama’s citizenship, lambasting the case as a waste of the court’s time and suggesting the plaintiff’s attorney may have to compensate the president’s lawyer.
In an argument popular on the Internet and taken seriously practically nowhere else, Obama’s critics argue he is ineligible to be president because he is not a "natural-born citizen" as the Constitution requires.
In response last summer, Obama’s campaign posted his Hawaiian birth certificate on its Web site. But the lawsuit argues it is a fake and that Obama was actually born in his father’s homeland of Kenya, even though Hawaiian officials have said the document is authentic.
"This case, if it were allowed to proceed, would deserve mention in one of those books that seek to prove that the law is foolish or that America has too many lawyers with not enough to do," U.S. District Judge James Robertson said in his written opinion.
The lawsuit didn’t even use Obama’s legal name but called him "Barry Soetoro," the name he went by while attending elementary school in Indonesia. It’s one of many that has been filed claiming Obama is ineligible to serve as president.
Robertson ordered plaintiff’s attorney John Hemenway of Colorado Springs, Colo., to show why he hasn’t violated court rules barring frivolous and harassing cases and shouldn’t have to pay Obama’s attorney, Bob Bauer, for his time arguing that the case should be thrown out.

Nice to see that the courts are able to recognize bullshit when they see it. How many times has this "case" been thrown out in how many courts? How many more times are we going to have to hear about this?

Yeah. Every time this topic shows up, there’s at least someone who says it should be heard.
I don’t think many people understand the concept of what it means when a case is thrown out.

I must have read a different Constitution then :) I seem to remember one where only Congress can declare war, right to privacy and a bit about Congress making no law about religion.
