This is some old shit, but we deem it worth mentioning here since people like Albert Hendershot and Harold Sorenson are still around (Hendershot and Sorenson may, for all we know, be around themselves) and certainly up to no good these days either. Yes, Hendershot and Sorenson are birthers, and they were among a number of dingbats who filed lawsuits challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president after the 2012 election. Hendershot filed an unsuccesful suit in Alabama in December 2011 alleging that Obama’s birth certificate was forged – Hendershot claimed he had “staggering” evidence that Obama was using a fraudulently obtained social security number issued in Connecticut – and that he was therefore ineligible to be on the Alabama primary ballot. Sorenson filed a similar suit in 2012, with an additional request that Judge Helen Shores Lee, who is black and also had presided over Hendershot’s suit, should recuse herself because “she has racial bias and a lack of Constitutional knowledge.” The suit was not particularly more successful than the Hendershot one (and these were not the only ones in Alabama), and the court awarded the Alabama Democratic Party its costs and fees, though they promised not to collect the money from Sorenson as long as he refrained from “bad-mouthing the court and this decision.” It is worth mentioning that Sorenson filed a similar suit in 2008 challenging the eligibility of both Obama and McCain.
Diagnosis: Whatever. We have some suspicions concerning what these incoherently paranoid morons are up to today if they are still around, however. And there are plenty of others like them if they are not.
