This means, the Republicans know that they could file a lawsuit in Texas to compel Boyd Richie to declare BO is ineligible, just like the Democrats to them in 2006. TDP v. RPT. But as that case says, individual candidates also have standing to file a lawsuit in state court, compelling the party Chair to declare a candidate ineligible. BUT THE LAWS WHICH ALLOW THIS AND WHICH WERE USED IN TDP V. RPT, WERE STATE OF TEXAS LAWS (even though the case was heard in federal court, because there was also a federal issue involved in that case). You have to do the work to understand everything; that is, read the 2 (two) CLOWNS posts or, listen to the podcast of my last show on Revolution Radio with drkate.
No court is going to overturn an election two years after the fact. HOWEVER, this is great news because Texas can, and should, force him to produce his official long form birth certificate or be denied a place on the ballot in 2012.
Get two more big states, like Florida and Ohio to do the same, and unless Obama produced his official long form birth certificate he would be shut out of a second term even if the Democrat Party kept him as their candidate elsewhere.
“individual candidates also have standing to file a lawsuit in state court, compelling the party Chair to declare a candidate ineligible.”
Was Alan Keyes on the Texas ballot?
btw-are there any jobs in Texas? Sounds like a smart state to live in just now.
