Recusal sought for 'Twitter' judge in eligibility case

A "twittering" judge who flaunts his bias should recuse himself.

'A motion for recusal has been filed against the federal judge who threw out a lawsuit questioning Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, because the issue already has been "blogged, texted, twittered and otherwise massaged."

Attorney John D. Hemenway filed the motion on behalf of Colonel Gregory Hollister against Judge James Robertson in the lawsuit now pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Robertson ruled in the case against "Barry Soetoro, et al," alleging a need to know Obama's legitimacy, because as a retired member of the military, Hollister could be recalled to active duty and, therefore, would have to know whether Obama's orders were legitimate.

The Hollister case ultimately was dismissed by Robertson, who stated: "The issue of the president's citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama's two-year campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court."'
