Judge Carter to Dr. Orly - No, you can't have trial, not yours!

Judge Carter has made a ruling in Keyes/Barnett v Obama today, regarding the DoJ and Defendant's Motion to Dismiss the case.

Motion Granted.

(Scribd link here)

(Bold face mine)

"Plaintiffs are third party candidates from the American Independent Party for president and vice president in the 2008 presidential election, inactive and active military personnel, and state representatives. The third party candidate plaintiffs are Alan Keyes, Gail Lightfoot, and Reverend Wiley Drake. Keyes and Drake received a total of four-hundredth of one percent of the popular vote for President."

Oh ouch!

Because Plaintiffs failed to bring their claims in this Court until after President Obama was sworn into office, the Court has been presented with much more than an action against a political candidate asking the Court to interpret the candidate’s qualifications to run for office. Instead, Plaintiffs ask this Court to declare that the current President of the United States is illegitimate and fails to meet the constitutional requirements to hold office. In their Motion to Dismiss, Defendants challenge the ability of the Court to hear Plaintiffs’ claims and redress their alleged injuries through the removal of the sitting President."

I think this is the legal argument known as "you snooze, you lose"
