America, Suing Obama

OK, SO NOW SENATOR Rand Paul is going to file a class action lawsuit agaisnt President Barack Hussein Obama. The complaint will be that the President has presided over a massive and illegal surveillance operation which has penetrated the privacy of essentially every American. Accordig to Paul, or his spokespeople, potential parties to the lawsuit include every American who has a cell phone. Sounds pretty exciting, eh? I personally would consider being a party to the filing on two conditions: one, that the decision to participate be mine, not someone elses, and, two: that I don't have to testify in open court. I would consider doing a deposition, but I really don't feel like traveling, or dressing properly for court. Now I'm confused about who can sue whom. I always thought "the king can do no wrong", and that the President of the United States is immune from prosecution. Shows how much I know... Rand Paul certainly wouldn't file a lawsuit illegally against our Presidednt, would he? Well...if The People vs the President results in a verdict for we the people, what will the compensatory phase consist of? Its a civil suit, right? In that case, we would all be entitled to reasonable compensation, a monetary settlement for damages. What, a few thousand bucks per person, times three hundred million? (only infants fail to have cell phones in AMerica, and they never have long to wait). Another question: didn't all this government surveillance stuff all start long before Obama was president, or even born? He inherited all this, right? Well, maybe that's not allowed as an extenuating circumstance.
