Thats right. The seating of the president against the public vote is within the province of the courts, ala Bush v Gore. To remove the president the congress has to impeach him ala republicans v William Clinton.

The republicans already seem to have this figured out, I guess the birthers are just trying to find yet another new way to screw the country.

the article does not say, do you know what the nature of this suit was ?

all the others are basically say I will or wont do something because he is not. not 'hey, he's not'

That's no evidence, though. And the blog that youtube page links to also provides no evidence except just saying that he spent it. Not very convincing.

You have some problem with teabagger standards of evidence?

as I pointed out, I could not view the video. but you ignore the legal defense fund passing a million.

doesn't matter. the point is he's spending far more than the $10 it woudl cost to end it all.

Can you show me anything that shows he's spent over a million on the birth certificate issue? Anything concrete at all?

The claim itself is all over the internet (of course, all saying different amounts from hundreds of thousands to millions spent), but I have yet to see anything to verify it.

Sounds good.

I've been searching myself, with not much luck.

It would cost nothing simply to direct questioners to Snopes. What would be the point?

starting point


WND may not be the gold standard but they do offer documentation from FEC that shows roughly 1.4m spent on legal.

But there's no way to know exactly what those fees are going to. I don't think it would be accurate with the information provided to say those fees are being paid strictly for these lawsuits.
