[DiogenesLamp]

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.

[Nero Germanicus]

And who is it that decides what the constitutional requirement is? Why its JUDGES.

For example: Allen v Obama, Arizona Superior Court Judge Richard E. Gordon: “Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”—Pima County Superior Court, Tuscon, Arizona, March 7, 2012
