Well let's see if we can't get a good ole down home southern Mississippi Judge to make that boy in the White House to show his cotton pickin papers to prove he eligible to be on the Mississippi Ballot. The man named to the case by the Mississippi Supreme Court is the Honorable R. Kenneth Coleman, Senior Status Judge who will preside over the matter. The parties named in the suit are the Democrat Party of Mississippi and the Secretary of State of Mississippi. If you've ever been to Mississippi, it's a beautiful place but they see things a little different than the rest of the country. The MS supreme court sure did act quickly on this filing. This should be interesting to watch.

And the federal district judge will then strike this down. So this is a great use of your tax dollars at work

The term 'cotton pickin' is used in everyday small talk in the south. It's no big deal to folks there. The special judges hometown of Okolona, MS is noted for it's cotton fields and Gins and it's also noted for a Civil War battle where the Confederates under General Nathan Bedford Forrest routed the Union troops there. I bet this judge has 'Southern Pride'.

It appears you have never lived in the south.

I have.

And I have never once heard anybody ever use the phrase.

Well... you first problem is that there is no such thing as the "Democrat Party of Mississippi."

"boy" huh?

Guess Orly Tatz hasn't learned. Getting slapped down by every court so far, including the U.S. Supreme Court, wasn't enough of a hint. High Court rejects Taitz's 'birther' appeal | abc7.com
