Birthers Collide with Justice System. Lose …

Birthers Collide with Justice System.  Lose …

This may be my favorite story of the day. Sort of like “Homespun Con Law Experts Have Head-on Collision with Leviathan Known as Local Law Enforcement.”

You may or may not have heard of the American Grand Jury movement. I confess I had not. Their main point of activism is convening a citizens grand jury to indict President Obama for treason for not being a natural born citizen. Which sounds reasonable enough.

Well, things started to go wrong when Walter Fitzpatrick, a leader of the movement, headed over to the county courthouse to effect a citizen’s arrest of Grand Jury foreman Gary Pettway, for abetting Obama’s treason.

Zack Roth has the story from there.
