The Stupidity Will Not Die

The wingnuts' favorite Obama Conspiracy Theory is that he's not a natural-born citizen of the US. Lawsuits in fact were filed in order to try to stop the election to prevent Obama from becoming President and handing us all over to one billion Muslim killers riding cyborg velociraptors armed with heat-seeking laser pods and fusion-powered jump jets.

Despite the fact that the state of Hawaii's Republican governor has produced a birth certificate and the most egregious lawsuit, Donofrio v. Wells, was summarily dismissed as frivolous time-wasting crapola, Clarence Thomas (yes that Clarence Thomas) apparently thinks it would be a good idea to at least discuss the "merits" of the case. With the Supreme Court. Of the United States. Of America.

No, seriously.

The U.S. Supreme Court's justices will discuss at their Friday conference tomorrow the Obama's-not-a-natural-born-citizen lawsuit known as Donofrio v. Wells.

As Chicago Tribune reporter James Janega writes:

The suit originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells.

Legal experts say the appeal has little chance of succeeding, despite appearing on the court's schedule. Legal records show it is only the tip of an iceberg of nationwide efforts seeking to derail Obama's election over accusations that he either wasn't born a U.S. citizen or that he later renounced his citizenship in Indonesia.

In one of those delicious ironies that makes life so interesting, the justice who distributed the case to his colleagues was none other than Clarence Thomas, only the second African American to sit on the high court. I can only assume the justice saw some potentially interesting legal issue in the lawsuit.

I for one welcome our mysteriously competent Chief Executive. Clearly he's not a product of American education, he's far too intelligent. Ergo, he must be an Indonesian Muslim sleeper agent who will take our guns and kill us all in our sleep, but not if we band together to fight him WOLVEREEEEEEEENS!

The Stupid, it hurts.
