An Alabama Court has announced that it will hear arguments as to whether Barack Hussein Obama II is in fact eligible to appear on the State Presidential Primary Ballot.

Several Alabama citizens have filed a lawsuit within the Alabama Circuit Court to “prevent certification of President Barack Obama for 2012 Alabama ballot access pending final hearing based on factual evidentiary hearings.”

The deadline for any candidate to register to appear on the Alabama Presidential Primary ballot is just days away, but by agreeing to hear the case, the Alabama Courts have effectively stalled any efforts by the Democratic Party to place Obama on the ballot.

Thank you for the link!

This Alabama action in a court of law offers more promise than that in GA, which occurred in an administrative hearing that could only render an advisory opinion.

If plaintiffs included birthplace in their pleadings, it appears the O team will finally be exposed to a judicial inquiry regarding birth documents. If they do not appear there is an excellent chance he will not be allowed on the ballot.

Importantly, it would seem that even if its SOS does not have statutory authority (?) to determine who shall be on its ballots by reference to NBC eligibility, the court could conclude it has inherent authority to deny ballot access to patently unqualified candidates. Such a label will certainly apply if O fails to produce a credible BC.

Unfortunately, if he does produce we should be prepared that a state supreme court may disregard the clear language of Art II and hold the term “natural born” remains undefined

Alabama’s Supreme Court may be the first to hear this dispute; alternatively, it may be the first state O decides to abandon.
