Pretty much what one would expect. The Courts give people a lot of leeway, but eventually toss this stuff back on the rubbish heap.

I agree but the BIRTHERS have been jumping up and down since this case began, "this is the big one, this is the one that will kick Obama's butt out of OUR white house"!!!

Full text of the Order denying TRO:

Rhodes v McDonald – Doc 13 – TRO Denied « Native and Natural Born Citizenship Explored

Quote:
the Court finds that it is not authorized to interfere with Plaintiff’s deployment orders. First, Plaintiff’s challenge to her deployment order is frivolous. She has presented no credible evidence and has made no reliable factual allegations to support her unsubstantiated, conclusory allegations and conjecture that President Obama is ineligible to serve as President of the United States. Instead, she uses her Complaint as a platform for spouting political rhetoric, such as her claims that the President is “an illegal usurper, an unlawful pretender, [and] an unqualified imposter.” (Compl. ¶ 21.) She continues with bare, conclusory allegations that the President is “an alien, possibly even an unnaturalized or even an unadmitted illegal alien . . . without so much as lawful residency in the United States.” (Id. ¶ 26.) Then, implying that the President is either a wandering nomad or a prolific identity fraud crook, she alleges that the President “might have used as many as 149 addresses and 39 social security numbers prior to assuming the office of President.” (Id. ¶

Quote:
Finally, in a remarkable shifting of the traditional legal burden of proof, Plaintiff unashamedly alleges that Defendant has the burden to prove his “natural born” status. (Id. ¶¶ 136-138, 148.) Thus, Plaintiff’s counsel, who champions herself as a defender of liberty and freedom, seeks to use the power of the judiciary to compel a citizen, albeit the President of the United States, to “prove his innocence” to “charges” that are based upon conjecture and speculation. Any middle school civics student would readily recognize the irony of abandoning fundamental principles upon which our Country was founded in order to purportedly “protect and preserve” those very principles.

Birthers, Teabaggers, Hatriots - smarter than a 5th grader? That's the problem right there.

Don't worry. In 24 hours they will have a completely different and equally idiotic champion.

From your link above:

"Land also put attorney Orly Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes and is a leader in the national “birther” movement, on notice by stating that she could face sanctions if she ever files a similar “frivolous” lawsuit in his court."

IIRC a military officer does NOT have a choice of commanders. Officers and enlisted go where they are ORDERED to go!
