another birther ballot challenge has been shot down in flames. what's interesting about this decision is it directly contradicts the birthers' interpretation minor v happersett:

" Most importantly, Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, Arizona v. Jay J. Garfield Bldg. Co. , 39 Ariz. 45, 54, 3 P.2d 983, 986 (1931), and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. See United States v. Wong Kim Ark , 169 U.S. 649, 702-03 (1898) (addressing U. S. Const. amend. XIV); Ankeny v. Governor of the State of Indiana , 916 N.E.2d 678, 684-88 (Ind. App. 2010) (addressing the precise issue). Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise."

This idiot could murder 1,000 people in Washington Square, and he'd get a medal.

Do people not understand that the King is beyond and above the law, and always has been--no matter how much we say different?

You mean the state where the lovely sheriff swears that Obama is not eligible?

Even moreso proves that he's full of s.....excrement.

that may or not be true, but in this situation........ it's just a simple mundane matter of the birthers being wrong.

Last time I looked the number of birther challenges of all types were in the hundreds, and no state has accepted any birther ballot challenge.

Doubly sad after Sheriff Joe's big "investigation"...which turned out to be a bunch of year old already debunked conspiracy crap.

Do you really think one more loss will really faze these bigots?

Fiscal "conservatism" at work.

the court cases are around 110 ( 99 loses, 11 pending i believe ). the ballot challenges have been around a dozen ( with a loss for each one heard to date ).

Thanks for the update.
Weird how "birtherism" pervades in Arizona, the same state where legislators wanted to make guns legal on all campuses
