Back in April, two Louisiana state Republican legislators introduced a “birther” bill, clearly to score some political points and try to make themselves relevant, I suppose. Specifically, the measure required that any presidential candidate seeking to be on the Louisiana ballot would need to swear out an affidavit that he was in fact a U.S. citizen, then offer a birth certificate to validate the claim.
Less than a week later, the office of Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said he would sign the bill if it made it to his desk.
I have just one question surrounding this issue. Are you serious?
Why Louisiana? Other states are considering similar measures, so the foolishness of such a move is not lost solely down on the Bayou. But come on folks. Don’t the state’s lawmakers have enough to worry about with unemployment, high gas prices and other pressing domestic concerns to be moving legislation that will not improve one life inside its borders? Not to mention the ongoing cleanup from the BP oil spill that continues to haunt every major industry along the Gulf.
