I could have sworn that I posted a reply to this last night.
This video clip shows four guys (plus the cameraman) in DC to "serve" their lawsuit against Obamacare on Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Holder, and (as best they can manage) Obama. One of the four is identified as the principal plaintiff and I would suspect the other three are listed as secondary plaintiffs.
Obviously there's no lawyer involved in any of this, and it is doomed from the start. Nobody involved with this silliness bothered to read Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(2) and (i). And nobody read the US Constitution, Article I, sec. 6 clause 1.
A bona fide lawyer is REQUIRED for a class action lawsuit, for the simple reason that an amateur is not allowed to handle the case for the rest of the class. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, the judge has to make the decisions of (1) whether this is appropriate as a class action, and (2) whether the lawyer representing the class is competent enough to be trusted with the legal fate of such a multitude of people -- the judge could insist that the plaintiffs get a better lawyer to carry the case forward.
Van Irion IS a lawyer, numbnuts. And, if I were you, and I thank God I am not, I don't think I would talk about the qualifications, or lack thereof, of any other lawyer. You have proven to be an Obama knee padder when the evidence presented to you would have your boy convicted of fraud by any honest jury in the country.
He's a patent attorney. Big whoop. It's clear that he didn't read the applicable rules, or else he thinks he's so special that the rules don't apply to him.
It turns out that he's running for Congress (on an "abolish the IRS" platform) and is using this doomed lawsuit as a publicity stunt. Although he's not admitted to the federal courts in DC, he is serving the papers in DC, a pretty good indication that this lawsuit is just for show.
