VT – Paige v Obama – Denied
September 24, 2012
The Burlington Post reports that the filing was denied
“The court has been presented with a radically insufficient basis on which to issue a temporary or even a preliminary injunction,” Judge Robert Bent wrote in a four-page ruling issued late Friday afternoon.Bent also said there was little evidence to support Paige’s underlying claim about Obama not being a “natural born citizen,” noting the jurists in a number of other states had reviewed that issue and rejected it.

“Even if the court is to reach the substance of his claim, Mr. Paige has no reasonable probability of succeeding. The Indiana Court of Appeals has addressed and conclusively rejected the same argument that Mr. Paige raises here in a through and well reasoned decision. Ankeny v. Governor of Indiana, 916 N.E. 2d 678 (Ind. Ct. App 2010). In short, relevant U.S. Supreme Court cases demonstrate that the question of who is a “natural born citizen” under the U. S. Constitution is answered in the common law. The common law of England, the American colonies, and later the United States, all support one interpretation only: “that persons born within the borders of the United States are ‘natural born citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.” Id. At 688″ Paige v. Obama, Condos. Vermont Superior Court
Don’t you just love how the birthers keep adding to precedential cases for “natural born citizen?”
Agreed!

“While this is the first so-called ‘birther’ lawsuit in Vermont, such suits have a robust legal history, one that heretofore produced uniform results: dismissal,” Daloz wrote.
