KSBI-TV: State Rep. Ritze Considering Joining Lawsuit Against Obama

By Phil

As a follow up to a story reported here, KSBI-TV, an independent television network out of Oklahoma, reported yesterday that State Rep. Dr. Mike Ritze (R-District 80) is seriously considering becoming a co-Plaintiff in a future lawsuit being brought by Dr. Orly Taitz:

[Rep. Ritze is] also considering joining in on a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, demanding proof of citizenship.

“I have to get legal opinion of the House legal staff, my personal attorney whether I can do that under Oklahoma law as a sitting representative,” says Ritze.

Critics say the lawsuit is nothing but partisanship at its worst, with petty issues clouding the economic crisis.

“It certainly doesn’t seem like they have the good of the country in their heart,” says Collins. “It’s almost like they’re wishing a pox on the country for their own personal gain or their own party’s gain.”

If nothing else, opponents say it could be a way to get recognized beyond the state of Oklahoma.

“Maybe he needs to be nominated for the mouth of the House, which is a somewhat dubious honor,” says Collins. “But maybe he’ll win that. Who knows?”

Rep. Ritze says the possibility of joining in on the lawsuit will be discussed in greater detail at Wednesday’s Liberty Caucus meeting.

Rep. Ritze also authored a bill called the Open Carry. That would allow Oklahomans to carry a visible rifle, shotgun or pistol without a handgun license.
