I can't see this being a problem for Hilary, do any of you?

"In this respect, it's a bit analogous to this question of whether Barack Obama is a natural born citizen," he said, referring to a lawsuit, dismissed last month, seeking to obtain a copy of Obama's Hawaii birth certificate.

I have been wondering why Obama wont produce his birth certificate.

I'm all for it.

I say let them continue to fund ads about Obama's citizenry and if Hillary Clinton can constitutionally be Secretary of State. It takes up (those funding the ad and the lawsuits) time, keeps them off the street, empties their pocketbooks, and keeps them from making real mischief.

Specious lawsuits and the pettifoggers that take the cases form M. C. Escher like snake-swallowing-their-own-tail scenarios. If they are busy swallowing their own tails, they are leaving me and mine alone.

More power to that!

Specious: without merit

Pettifoggers: disreputable lawyers

MC Esher: really cool Dutch artist/mathematician who did surrealistic wood blocks. (see images below)

Snake-swallowing-their-own-tail: worthless, time consuming pursuit.

Lawsuits without merit and the disreputable lawyers that take the cases run around in circles accomplishing nothing, and are too busy with their worthless, time consuming pursuits to be all up in my bidness.
