All righty, now, short and sweet. The court seems to have made their decision and it is time for these people who are going out of their way to try to block our legally elected, 44th president from taking office to back down and let things be.
I knew that there were going to be any number of bigots, fear-mongers, far-right-wing nutbars and sour grapers doing their thing after the election, but this is getting ridiculous. It's mighty darn funny that they didn't bring this up with equal vigor when the campaign was in full swing. No, they wait until the man is elected to try to push their accusations of lack of proper citizenship on the part of President-Elect Obama into the courts. These are frivolous charges and frivolous lawsuits that were bound to fail, but these buggers had to try.
The misinformation being spread all over the Internet is the usual, baseless spam and hoax idiocy that has plagued the 'net since it became generally available. The problem is that, on the unregulated Internet, anyone can say anything about anyone and get away with it. It becomes the province of the slandered to disprove what the slanderers CAN'T prove. What a world.
Let's hope this one, shot down by our Supreme Court, dies a natural, quiet death.
