One of the last remaining court battles over Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility has gone down in flames in a 7-2 decision by the Alabama Supreme Court to render “no opinion.”
However, the dissenting minority of Justice Tom Parker and Chief Justice Roy Moore concluded the case has serious constitutional significance, warranting an investigation of the qualifications of 2012 presidential candidates by Alabama’s secretary of state.
Moore wrote in his dissent that the circuit court should have granted the plaintiffs’ request to order the state secretary of state “to implement the natural-born-citizen requirement of the presidential-qualifications clause in future elections.”
“Although the removal of a president-elect or a president who has taken the oath of office is within the breast of Congress, the determination of the eligibility of the 2012 presidential candidates before the casting of the electoral votes is a state function,” Moore argued.
He said the case was of “great constitutional significance in regard to the highest office in our land.”

The miserable secretaries of state have the gaul to claim that all they are required to do is take the candidate's application and slap his/her name on the official state ballot. They would have us believe that their highly paid taxpayer position places no responsibility/duty on them to prevent fraud on the voters of their state. It is all surreal and mindboggling. Fingers are pointed in each others direction and no one wants to do their damn job.
Pelosi’s signature is on the eligibility doc, the feckless GOP will do nothing to bring this to an end result because they to have skeletons in thier closet or are being paid under the table. They are all complicit in this.
GOP and Dems make up one big good old boys club and do not serve the country. they serve themselves.
chicken
bock bock bock baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak
Using partisan state officials to deny a candidate access to their ballot is potentially a double-edged sword. Enough blue states have sufficiently corrupt officials that they could tie up their ballot long enough to keep conservative candidates off their ballots and potentially skew every future election. As much as I’d like to see Obama exposed we need to take care we don’t manufacture a weapon that will be used against us. An example of this might be Harry Reid’s “nuclear option.” It works fine for the Democrats while they maintain control of the Senate, but how will they fare when they eventually lose and that option is still in place for Republicans to use. (BTW, I fully expect the Republicans will eliminate their advantage at the first opportunity and they may be right in leveling the playing field again as unfair advantage breeds a lot of hard feelings. I just hope we get a chance to undo some damage perpetrated by the Obama administration first.)
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...........
(The law may be CLEAR, but we’re not a-gonna TOUCH it!)
..........ba blah, blah, blah!)
This is not what the framers of the U.S. Constitution envisioned.
I have had a consistent position on this since 2009.
It is this: There is a proper, Constitutional forum to address the question. That forum did so on January 6, 2009, and the matter is at an end as regards the person calling himself “Obama”.
There was plenty of relevant evidence to allow the Special Joint Session of Congress to investigate. It was known to everyone with a keyboard and a monitor, and it was certainly known to the participants in the session.
All that was required was a written objection, from ONE SINGLE Member of Congress and ONE SINGLE Senator. No such objection was raised, and “Obama” was certified by the presiding officer (Richard “Dick” Cheney of Wyoming).
That was the end of the matter. The power of Congress to count the Electoral votes and to certify a President-Elect is plenary, there is no avenue for appeal.
Worse than not serving the country, worse than serving themselves, the RINOs and Demonrats, in their hell-spawned club, give aid and comfort to the enemy.
At least “defend the ten” Roy Moore stays true to his conservative and religious convictions!
At this point they will shred the natural born requirement to become POTUS. It's coming.
Google how many times politicians have attacked the natural born clause to the constitution in the last twenty years...it's astonishing.
I don’t think so. All they are asking is checking the qualifications required. They are all pretty simple: age, residency, etc. All that could be done easily in a day or so and through public records. (Even for the presidency.) They are not asking for any sort of big time investigation. Keep it simple and straight forward and it is less easy to corrupt.
That was the end of the matter. The power of Congress to count the Electoral votes and to certify a President-Elect is plenary, there is no avenue for appeal.

Are you contending that weasel-ass politicians can violate their oaths of office and, in so doing, commit treason by undermining the United States, and there is not a damn thing we can do about it?
“All they are asking is checking the qualifications required. “
Accusations don’t have to be true if the purpose is to hold somebody off the ballot and their timing is right. All they need is a partisan judge and that’s most of them. It may not always work, but many elections are so close it doesn’t have to work every time.
The vetting for national office should be at the national level. It was Nancy Pelosi and others who “vetted” Obama and apparently did so either being aware he wasn’t qualified or they didn’t look too hard and failed their charge. If and when it is determined that he was not eligible, which I expect will happen shortly after he leaves office, as he’ll no longer have the power to stop investigations, then I hope to see those who “vetted” him put on trial, hopefully for conspiracy and treason. But, most likely that won’t happen as laws do not apply to the elite.
“First, the dishonesty is shameless and in your face. Mr Obama’s advisers, once they realized the ‘birth certificate’ was as bogus as a $3 bill, knew that if they simply went on pretending that $3 bills are legal tender the hard-left-dominated news media would carefully and continuously look the other way, pausing occasionally to sneer at anyone who pointed out that, in this constitutionally crucial respect, the ‘president’ has no clothes,” Monckton wrote.
The one known as "obama" answers to someone or something and they now own US.
And they, getting in your face, will laughingly tell you there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
By their fruits ye shall know them. Demonrats are evil and/or follow and enable evil, whether they realize it or not.
Welcome to their brave new world. Please pass the soma.
What Is The Secretary of State Project? [Soros money to distort elections]
Yeah ... we have progressed through the various “steps” as provided to us in law. It’s been long past the end of the matter.
I don’t think that will happen. The issue is fairly well dead in the eyes of the mass of the public and on both sides of the aisle. There will always be a few zealots around, so they’ll never disappear, but they’ll just be a curiosity and subject for mirthful conversations.
