If you were curious about what the disbarred lawyer, former Florida inmate, bagpipe-blowing fringe candidate Montgomery Blair Sibley thinks about last week’s election, you’re in luck. He thinks it stinks.
Sibley, who has been disbarred from 13 different federal courts and three state bars during his career, is suing D.C.’s three representatives to the Electoral College, which is slated to meet next month and confirm that President Obama won on November 6. And, like he always does, Sibley doubts Obama’s legitimacy to hold the office to which he just won another four years.
In one complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Sibley calls Obama’s birth certificate, college transcripts and other identifying documents “questionable.” So, basically the same birther shit as usual.
His second complaint takes direct aim at the Electoral College itself. Citing the 12th and 23rd amendments, Sibley hopes to stop the 332 electors pledge to Obama from voting for a candidate he sees as illegitimate. Or something like that.
“It is inane to image the framers of our Constitution authorizing the presidential electors to vote for a person who fails to qualify for that office,” Sibley—who of course doesn’t know anything about inanity—said in a news release.
Sibley tried to petition the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the issue in March. The high court declined. Maybe because Sibley has twice accused the Supreme Court of treason; more likely, the justices didn’t feel like wasting their time with this putz.
Who knows? Maybe Sibley’s just raw about losing last week’s election and this is his way of airing his grievances. Anyway, as we always include it when writing about Sibley, enjoy this photo of him blowing into some bagpipes.
