What is it that you think that the judges of the Alabama Supreme Court misunderstand?
The primary concurring opinion written by Judge Bolin is a careful and detailed analysis of Alabama election law and the statutory duties of the Secretary of State.
The bottom line is that if a national party convention nominates a candidate, the Secretary of State “SHALL” certify that candidate for the Alabama ballot. There is no discretion under the law.
No law in contradiction to a constitutional requirement is valid.
As Judge Moore noted, the laws of Alabama require qualified candidates. The enforcement mechanism is implied, and would seemingly fall under the office of the Secretary of State.
THAT is what I think the Judges of Alabama Supreme Court do not understand. I have become long accustomed to Judges not understanding some very simple things.
The bottom line is that if a national party convention nominates a candidate, the Secretary of State “SHALL” certify that candidate for the Alabama ballot. There is no discretion under the law.
And once again, I point out that any law in Conflict with Constitutional law is of null effect.
