U.S. District Court Dismisses Lawsuit on McCain Eligibility to be President
July 26th, 2008On July 24, a U.S. District Court in New Hampshire ruled that an ordinary voter does not have standing to argue that Senator John McCain is not eligible to be president. Hollander v McCain, 1:08-cv-99. The voter had argued that McCain is not a “natural-born” citizen. Thanks to Jon Roland for this news.

Did the judge say who DOES have standing to file such a lawsuit?

I haven’t seen the opinion. I just read a news article about it. I will try to find it on Monday. But since he ruled from the bench, there may not be anything in writing yet.

IOW, the judge ducked the indisputable facts…

If a citizen of the United states of America cannot defend the Consitution from corruption, who can?

While I don’t agree with the merits of the lawsuit, I find fault with the preliminary version of the judge’s decision. Certainly the government can bring such a lawsuit, and since a taxpayer and voter in a democracy IS the government, he should very well have standing.

“If a citizen of the United states of America cannot defend the Constitution from corruption, who can?”
This [unabridged] constitution of the Corporate States of Amerika re-enforced slavery, counting them as 3/5th of a human being! Did not recognize political parties, per non partisan George Washington, did not allow women or non property owners to vote!
Think, man, think! No citizen/ registered voter in Guam, the Mariannas, American Samoa, United States Virgin Islands [including Saint Thomas and Saint Croit], Gitmo, Puerto Rico, and WASHINGTON DC can vote for POTUS! Not one.
Ah, we say we are a democracy, but we are not!
Ah, we say we are a nation, but we are not!
We are an imperial fascist global empire!
I know that modern life is complex and over whelming, but when it comes to public administration YOU have been sleeping with your eyes open….
