Judge questioned Klayman can’t a political party put anyone they want on the ballot?
How did Obama even get CONSIDERED to be on the ballot? Did somebody fill out a form and/or pay some money? If so, what did the form say?
The DNC can’t put anybody they want on their ballot - not if they’re going to follow their own by-laws.
The issue is what the Secretary of State will do if (since) the DNC clearly violated their bylaws by nominating somebody who was known (by the DNC’s own process set in place, actually) to not be eligible. San Fran Nan had to sign a statement of Obama’s eligibility for Hawaii because the Hawaii Democratic Party refused to certify that. The claims by the DNC people in 2008 were that the state parties are the ones who are supposed to check out eligibility. That could be part of the reason that Hawaii law requires the state party to sign off on the national party’s candidate being the STATE PARTY’s candidate as well. Interestingly enough, the OCON for the Hawaii Democratic Party never did actually state that Obama was THEIR candidate. He should never have been on the HI ballot because he lacked the HDP statement required by HI law.
And for the dem party in the state that supposedly has the birth records .... to refuse to even sign off on Obama as their candidate as required by law.... leaves San Fran Nan with NO EXCUSE.
What actually needs to happen is San Fran Nan needs to be thrown in jail, along with a bunch of other people.
The judge needs to realize that if the DNC nominates somebody who is ineligible they are committing fraud and perjury, because their nominations are required to certify that the candidate was DULY NOMINATED, and part of that nomination process that has to be followed in order to use the word “duly” is ensuring that the candidate is eligible, per the DNC bylaws.
So the answer to the judge’s question is that they can only nominate whoever they want if they are willing to perjure themselves. But if they perjure themselves, does the Secretary of State still have a duty to keep the oath he/she swore to protect and defend the US Constitution?
I presume that this judge took the same oath at some point...
