Apparently, the Deluge of Birther lawsuits will continue for quote a while. I suspect appeal after appeal will be filed as these stinkers get drop kicked out of the courthouses. Some of these will be pro se lawsuits filed by individual Birthers untrained in the law. Others will be filed by attorneys. Their level of absurdity will vary greatly. There needs to be some way to rate these lawsuits, much like the Richter Scale and Fujita scale are used to rate earthquakes and tornadoes. But there is a problem. Part of rating earthquakes and tornadoes relates to the amount of damage done, and Birther lawsuits don’t do any damage outside of wasting the Court’s time. Paraphrasing Shakespeare, these are lawsuits filed by idiots, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. However, if we can’t rate Birther lawsuits by the output, maybe we can rate them by the input! To that end, I propose The Rictal Scale!!! Rictal is the adjective form of Rictus which is defined as: ric·tus [ÈrjktYs] n. pl. rictus or ric·tus·es 1. The expanse of an open mouth, a bird’s beak, or similar structure. 2. A gaping grimace: “his mouth gaping in a kind of rictus of startled alarm” (Richard Adams). 3. a fixed or unnatural grin or grimace, as in horror or death. rictal adj. In other words, the more we groan at the lawsuit, and make faces, the higher on the scale it is. All we have to do is identify the elements which make us groan and assign them a numerical value. Here are my thoughts. A Birther Lawsuit gets a point for each of these elements of absurdity: 1 Point for citing Minor v. Happersett as a precedent. 1 Point for stating there is a legal requirement for two citizen parents. 1 Point for simultaneously raising fraudulent birth certificate issues. 1 Point for citing the Dred Scott decision in support. 1 Chutzpah points for introducing Obama’s birth certificate as evidence Obama’s father was a non-citizen while also claiming the birth certificate is fraudulent and false. 1 Point for claiming there is a difference between a 14th Amendment Citizen born in the United States and an Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 natural born citizen. 1 Point for more than 10 spelling errors in the Complaint. 1 Point for suing the wrong party, with 1 Point for each additional mistake in service. 1 Point for mentioning Emerich de Vattel. 1 Point if the Complaint states The Law of Nations book is included in the U.S. Constitution. 1 Point for filing on a pro se basis. 1 Point for filing in forma pauperis. 1 Point for requesting no empty chairs be allowed in the courtroom. 1 Point for filing after inauguration should Obama win in November 2012. 1 Point if the Plaintiff describes himself as a “patriot.” 1 Point if the Complaint mentions Leo Donofrio or Mario Apuzzo. 1 Point for each time a judge is asked to recuse himself. 1 Point if the Plaintiff accuses Obama of being a British citizen. 1 Points if the attorney is Orly Taitz. 1 Point if the Plaintiff prepares and files his own Amicus Curiae brief. 1 Point if the Plaintiff fails to mention Wong Kim Ark in the Complaint, or any Brief. 1 Point for each Amended Complaint. 1 Point for each Motion for Reconsideration. 1 Point for missing the Appeals deadline. 1 Point if any of the following words or terms are found in the Complaint or any Briefs: Usurper, frog march, Kenya, Muslim, Admiralty Court, New World Order, or gold fringe. 1 Point if the Plaintiff types his name in all lower case letters. 1 Point if the Plaintiff files as John Doe, or Anonymous. 1 Point for each and every other Absurd claim found in the Complaint or any Briefs as long as such absurdity is clearly listed.

Need to add: 1 point for claiming the president's legal name is Barry Soetoro, and another if the filing claims he was adopted by Lolo and is/was an Indonesian citizen.

This would all be easily resolved if the President simply released his records. As he's spending millions to keep them hidden, one can't help but wonder what he is hiding.
Foreign passport points ! Soc sec # for foreign student too ! rectal scale for libturds ! militant whack psychos ! Planet krypto !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
We also should add 1 point for mentioning the granny in Kenya as the official birth historian. I still think it's truly amazing that a woman would rather give birth in Kenya in August in somewhat primitive conditions in a war torn country, compared to the rather peaceful, balmy islands and more modern OB/GYN care of Hawaii. I mean who wouldn't rather go through labor in a 110 degree non air conditioned heat with the possibility of fighting in the streets, if they had the choice?
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

You can verify for yourself that the birth certificate released by Obama to much fanfare was an altered document using a copy of Illustrator. For a President, Obama is very skilled at not letting anybody know what he really did with his life.
However, YOUR problem is substantiating the claim beyond a DNC, Democratic Party, the Congress and all of Washington DC that attests to his presidential qualifications. Nope, even the GOP says the claim is false. So, even if the claim was true, are you aware of the issues that are confronted far more than one little Negroe from Chicago? The entire US government's pants are pulled down ... and it shall never happen. The issue is a worthless cause, therefore.
As he's spending millions to keep them hidden, one can't help but wonder what he is hiding. The stuff he's hiding is locked at Fort Knox along with the real JFK's story. However to his credit, he's made no qualms about his transparent Muslim religion/Homosexuality/Communism/Whitey-Hating, or just plain utter ignorance and stupidity
So lets keep the charade going, eh? Chyeah - GREAT idea. It'll benefit America MUCH more accepting being lied to 99.99% of the time. Wheeeeee!!!! Let's all do shots of bullsh*t!
Chyeah - GREAT idea. It'll benefit America MUCH more accepting being lied to 99.99% of the time. Wheeeeee!!!! Let's all do shots of bullsh*t! This is how America has been run since the aftermath of WW2 with Harry Truman with the creation of the CIA. Of course, that was in 1949, over 60 years ago. This nation HAS BEEN BULLSHIT since that time.
It would nullify all the unconstitutional acts done by the Pretendersident that have to be undone anyway to reclaim the rule of law. No doubt, we have a existential-level Constitutional crisis going on, but it does not get solved by sticking one's head in the sand and pretending key issues don't exist. The people who make law don't get to ignore the law, that's the fundamental basis of the rule of law. We are past the point where the practical thing to do is no longer to pretend this lawless corruption doesn't exist and isn't epidemic, because the damage those things do to us far exceeds the dangers and effort involved in exposing it.
I'll mark you down as someone who deep down doesn't really care about the constitution. It is too hard for you to defend.
Rictal, rectal, whatever.
Sorry. The Congress created the acts of law to begin with. He has rubber-stamped those same acts into law. This idea is true even for his presidential orders. I guess there is an alternative: suck Orly Taitz's ass. I refuse to do it. Yes they do. It is the unwritten law in America for lawmakers; it is just one of the wonderful perks of office.
Why should I defend a little scrap of shitpaper that both GWBush and Ginsberg agree about?
