Oh if it only were that simple.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, but still...
Okay how about the fact that this is from Mr. Malpractice, Philip J. Berg, Esquire?
Banking on a Lawyer that can't seem to win a case is a sure win for the Birthers.
Lawsuit concerning Barack Obama
Berg filed a complaint in federal district court on August 21, 2008, against Democratic Party presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, alleging that Obama was born actually in Mombasa, Kenya and that the "Certification of Live Birth" on Obama's website is a forgery.
The court dismissed the complaint as "frivolous and not worthy of discussion.
-----
RICO lawsuit, Rodriguez v. Bush
In October 2004, Berg filed Rodriguez v. Bush, accusing the President of the United States and 155 other parties of complicity in the 9/11 attacks.
The matter was transferred to the Southern District of New York on May 2, 2005.[8] On June 26, 2006, the court dismissed the claims against the USA, DHS, and FEMA, and gave the plaintiff until July 7, 2006 to show cause why his lawsuit should not be dismissed with respect to the other 153 defendants.[9]
The plaintiff failed to do so, and the court dismissed all of the claims against all of the remaining 153 defendants on July 17, 2006.

Malpractice and ethics violations
Berg was successfully sued for legal malpractice by former clients on whose behalf Berg had neglected to file a response to a complaint in an ERISA lawsuit, resulting in a default judgment being entered against the former clients. Berg responded by bringing into the malpractice suit the plaintiffs in the ERISA action on a claim of fraud upon the court. The ERISA plaintiffs moved for summary judgment—which was granted after Berg failed to respond to the motion—and then moved for sanctions against Berg. Berg again failed to file a response.
Berg sounds like a lawyer who reads a conspiracy thread on ATS and thinks that claim alone is enough to build a case around. When asked for evidence to prove his claims, he simply demands evidence to disprove them.
Sound familiar?
