My mominlaw told me that one of her friends- who is only in her 70s and has a Master's degree!- believes that Obama wasn't born in the US, and that's why he won't show his birth certificate. Don't you have to show proof of citizenship to get a passport? Surely the government would have been on top of this at some point. And why is the birth cert. shown to FactCheck and Snopes unacceptable? Doesn't matter. I was telling her about the story I made up and she got confused and said, who would say such things! I said, um, I did. But I was kidding! She said, well, I bet people believed you. I expect this kind of stuff from people who don't think well, but have been surprised at the willingness of educated and thoughtful people to do so little research. I just saw where someone said how reassuring that Philip Berg isn't a crackpot. And I thought, huh, to me any lawyer who is a 9-11 "truther" and brought a suit against Bush and the admin for failing to stop 9-11 and maybe even being behind it, and who asked SC justices to disbar themselves for their role in the 2000 election, and who has been fined 10K for ethics violations, sounds a bit crackpotty to me. The judge when handing down the verdict said, "This court has grown weary of Mr. Berg's continuous and brazen disrespect toward this court and his own clients. Mr. Berg's actions ... are an enormous waste of judicial time and resources that this court cannot, in good conscience, allow to go unpunished," Joyner wrote. law.com
