Even as a challenge to Barack Obama’s name on the 2012 primary election ballot in Georgia moves to the appeals court level, the next state up for the arguments appears to be Indiana, which in just the last few weeks has removed a state official from office over eligibility issues.
And there appear to be other state challenges lined up to follow even that one, including pending cases in Mississippi and Arizona.
Citizens across the country are utilizing each state’s election procedures to challenge Obama’s name on the 2012 ballot because of questions over his eligibility which were raised during the 2008 campaign but have yet to be resolved.
Two mainstream arguments are that he either was not born in the state of Hawaii as he has claimed, which could make him ineligible under the Constitution’s requirements that a president be a “natural born citizen,” or that he doesn’t qualify for that status since he’s written that his father never was a U.S. citizen.
Many analysts believe the Founders considered a “natural born citizen” to be the offspring of two citizen parents. A Supreme Court opinion from 1875 seems to support that argument.

"The Tennessee ballot challenge is nearly identical to the Federal challenge in terms of argument. The difference is that it is being heard in TN state court and specifically references TN state election code. Essentially the case asserts that the Defendant, National Democratic Party, intends to commit negligent mis-representation or fraud by certifying Obama for the TN general ballot. We present facts to support this allegation and ask the court for a preliminary injunction to prevent any certification from the Democratic Party absent a showing that proves Obama is a natural born citizen."

I just can’t see this issue accomplishing its objective; fear of the blacklash.
As Georgia proved once again,
Everyone has a price, right judge?
Ping!
The price for Georgia was the first two nuclear reactors beibng approved and financed by the federal government since before Three Mile Island.
Some crooks are expensive!!!!!
The sad part of this entire issue is that this “is” and “has been” over in the State-run, lame-stream, liberal-left, communist-progressive media. Does not matter what happens legally, the media will protect this guy’s ass at whatever price. Unless or until the media picks up on all these legal challenges on a “nationwide” scale, it all means absolutely nothing. Look what happened in Georgia - media ignored it and Obama’s team won.
The only “law” in Ankeny is that the governor cannot be held responsible for vetting presidential candidates. The state’s dicta on NBC is not a legal precedent, especially since there is an exclusive Supreme Court definition.
Yeah, let us know how that argument holds up before an Indiana court.
The dicta in Ankeny contradicts itself and ignores that the Minor court reviewed other combinations of citizenship, but deliberately recognized only ONE combination as natural-born citizens. The ONLY legal precedent is from the SCOTUS, not from an appeals court that failed to understand the holding in Minor and that it was affirmed in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark. Any honest Indiana court would follow the SCOTUS legal precedent.
Then it might have been a good idea for Mr. Ankeny to have petitioned for transfer of his case to the Indiana Supreme Court after he lost in the Court of Appeals. No “honest” trial court judge is going to ignore a decision of the Court of Appeals. In Indiana, at least, it’s the law.
You’re not understanding the process. The ONLY holding by the Appeals Court was that the governor could not be held responsible for vetting presidential candidates. The NBC dicta is extraneous to that because it was only used by the court to make an excuse that they didn’t need to accept the plaintiff’s claims about the NBC requirement as fact. The only issue that is relevant on appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court is whether the appeals court erred in the holding in reference to the governor’s responsibilities.
Even Harry Reid proposed bill disagreed with the Indiana court dicta. How pathetic are you Obots.
“citizenship should not be granted ‘solely by reason of physical presence within the United States at the moment of birth’
The left has built up this “fear of backlash” to the point that we can’t even truthfully identify their ideology because of the “fear of backlash”.
McCain wouldn’t campaign against 0bama in 2008 because of the “fear of backlash”.
The establishment republicans fight conservatives harder than they do democrats because of “fear of backlash”.
Harry Reid doesn’t interpret the law in the State of Indiana, the Indiana Court of Appeals does.
We were also one of 10 states that were granted an exemption to the No Child Left Behind regulations...
That’s the poop I read.
Course I also read that those nuke plants will never be built cause every tin horn enviro whacko group will file some b.s. lawsuits to muck up the works.
