Love laughing at the idiots!
Jan. 20 Looks Safe




Conservative bloggers are furious that the MSM is ignoring the two petitions at the Supreme Court challenging Obama's election. But lawyers for Obama, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and the Bush Justice Department aren't paying attention, either.



One of the petitions is nonpartisan, alleging that neither Obama nor McCain (nor, for that matter, Socialist Workers Party candidate Roger Calero) should have been listed on the New Jersey ballot because none of the three is a natural-born citizen. That petition says Obama would not be a natural-born citizen "even if it were proved he was born in Hawaii," because his father was born in Kenya.



The other, filed by Pennsylvania lawyer Philip J. Berg, offers the argument that Obama himself was born in Kenya. Berg and his supporters are not buying the copy of the Hawaiian birth certificate the Obama camp has offered up.



Justice David H. Souter has denied applications for injunctions in both cases, though Berg's petition is on the justices' private Dec. 8 conference list (all petitions filed with the court get consideration). Text It's an indication of how seriously the government takes the case that Solicitor General Gregory G. Garre has waived his right to respond to the petition.

2. I love that the Solicitor General has waived any response to the petition!
