Just when the White House probably thought those pesky lawsuits seeking a court determination that Barack Obama fails to meet the Constitution's eligibility requirements for a president were finished, something new has appeared on the horizon.
Or in this case, the court docket.
The Liberty Legal Foundation has filed a pair of lawsuits in state and federal courts that don't ask anything about Obama's birth or for any determination from the court about his eligibility. Or his birth certificate, for that matter.
Instead, they name the national Democratic Party as a defendant, and ask the court to enjoin officials there from certifying that Obama is eligible for the office for the 2012 election.
"This complaint does not request or require this court to find that President Obama is not qualified to hold the office of president of the United States. Instead, this complaint is directed toward defining the term 'natural-born citizen' under the Constitution of the United States, and toward negligence or intentional misrepresentations of the Democratic Party.

Interesting legal strategy.
Oh dear - this could mean Hillary is on the bench warming up.
She could win.
She's already gone to MAACO for a spackle and putty job on her face and had her hair combed . . . she's either going to be on the top of the ticket or run as VP with the illegal alien next year . . .
She's a filthy liar if she says otherwise. What worries me is if the makeup and putty falls off her face!
Dumb.
Let the House pass it and send it on to Harry Reid !!
Then pass the popcorn.
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
This should be interesting to watch. It seems to me that if those who are searching for truth don’t lose heart or listen to the nay sayers we should get some sort of vindication.
Does this mean that WND is finally off the “Birther” thing, by which means Joseph Farah has almost singlehandedly kept Barack Obama in office?
” Oh dear - this could mean Hillary is on the bench warming up. ‘
That poor bench....
“bench-killer “
There are days I wish FReepers had a psychic powers;)
If Hillary is substituted for Biden as a stronger VP choice with more voter appeal - then we MUST HAVE NEWT as VP on the ticket - to take her down in debates!!!!
I was wondering when some enterprising soul would approah it from this angle.
I love this angle. Attack, attack,attack that’s what the leftists do so should we. Open multiple fronts that they must defend. I hope that over the next couple of years we can prove some criminality in all of this.
Sorry — this is a loser. The “legal strategy” advanced ignores 100 years of Constitutional law on the 14th Amendment, much of wich I personally disagree with. However, cherry-picking a definition from an 1875 case that is inconsistent with settled law is NEVER going to win — EVER. This type of case only under-cuts legitimate political reasons for the people not to vote for Mr. Obama.
More birther related stuff that will be dismissed by the courts.
“Does this mean that WND is finally off the “Birther” thing, by which means Joseph Farah has almost singlehandedly kept Barack Obama in office?”
Get real. He was put in office by major media, and is protected by them and will be supported in re-election by them. The vast majority of the electorate has never heard of WND.
