Today the Alabama Supreme Court issued its 7-2 decision in the case of McInnish v. Chapman, and the decision goes against plaintiffs Hugh Chapman and Virgil Goode, who were trying to force the Alabama Secretary of State to verify Obamas eligibility to be on the 2102 Alabama presidential ballot. Larry Klayman was the attorney for the Appellants.
The Courts Majority issued no written opinion, only affirming the lower court decision dismissing the case.
Majority decision to affirm, no opinion (Stuart, Murdock, Shaw, Main, Wise) Concurring opinion (Bolin) Concurring opinion (Bryan) Dissenting Opinion (Moore) Dissenting Opinion (Parker) Chief Justice Roy Moore issued the major dissenting opinion, and Justice Bolin issued a concurring opinion specifically addressed to Moores dissent. Chief Justice Moore states that under Alabama Law, Secretary of State Chapman has an affirmative duty to verify candidate eligibility. Justice Bolin agrees that candidate eligibility is an important public interest, but that Alabama statutes do not place a duty on the Secretary of State to verify it. Further Justice Bolin points out that Secretary of State Chapman is a nonjudicial officer with no subpoena power or investigative authority. Justice Bolin concludes:
Under our current structure, however, the burden of investigating a presidential candidates qualifications is best left unfortunately or not to the candidates political party .
As I understand his position, Justice Bolin is saying that a state statute requiring verification of eligibility for candidates for president is a desirable thing, given his belief that the federal courts are prohibited from adjudicating eligibility because of the Political Question Doctrine.
Justice Bryan also issued a concurring opinion, briefly stating his belief that legislation could be passed to allow verification of candidate eligibility.
Chief Justice Moores dissenting opinion goes to the details of the Alabama statutes involved and at a brief reading has no particular high points. It is an analysis on the merits.
Chief Justice Parker also dissents from the majority opinion, supporting the analysis of Chief Justice Moore, but disagreeing on the Secretary of States affirmative duty to investigate candidate eligibility.
A text search of all of the opinions affirms my opinion that the Affidavit of Mike Zullo is irrelevant, being cited not onc
He did that two years ago - Link
You'll let Bubba know when you've sent the money in, right?
It won’t be a theory OBot or conjecture or give you OBots wiggle room to BS everyone. The proof will be proof. The obvious “smart” decision for you is don’t take the bet.
Yawn lets be clear, I didn’t bet anyone two years ago. That’s the Arpaio presser presenting of an analysis that is dead on about Obama’s forgery, but apparently not enough to indict the lying perpetrators and “convince” the bull crapping Obama supporters.
So if he had the goods on Obama two years ago then what will another press conference on the same subject do?
Because Sheriff Arpaio 2 years ago did not have the evidence and proof that he has now. It was only analysis of forgeries.
Again because - the breakthrough proof - did not come through until October of last year that they publicly announced on November 7, 2013.
Since then, much much more evidence and likely proof has came into their investigation, and the time has been cataloging and vetting the new information. Vetting the new information as humanly as possible. We'd like them to get it right when they do present it to the world.
A second investigation kicked off, the criminal investigation that was started in February of this year and only 4 months ago.
They've now decided to have 2 pressers. One will be about Obama's incontrovertible proof that Obama's birf certificate is a complete forgery that Hawaii and OBots cannot lie their way out.
The second Sheriff Arpaio presser will be the OBot criminal investigation where they've got OBot asses in a sling.
Obama is having about 1 scandal and showing his utter incompetence every week to the world. It all adds up that will bring him down where the Obama Media won't be able to help. I give the usurper Obama about 1 year max before he's gone out of the White House.
1 Year...I’ll take it, sold.
2015 will be an interesting year. ;-)
Expecting things to get Volatile in next year.
Not long ago, you probably for sure listened to the recent 12 or so minute long interview with Zullo (Gallups) and there are going to be 2 press conferences. Zullo’s will be about the birth cert. Arpaio’s will be about the “other” ongoing criminal investigation based on the more recent leads given starting in Sept. Which is about something else entirely.
I’m willing to wait until they get all the hard evidence, paper trail, chain of custody, and sworn witness statements. If I liked popcorn, I’d have plenty on hand.
I hadn’t read your comment when I wrote mine. So the new investigation officially started in Feb. And he did say that hired deputies are involved.
According to the link I provided earlier, Arpiao and his team were positive it was a forgery. Wouldn't they have to have evidence and proof to come to that conclusion.

Yes well I'm sure that's going to happen any day now.
Moron OBots and imbecile deniers think otherwise. Many people are afraid of shadows.
Yes well I'm sure that's going to happen any day now.
Same phrase Communist OBots use. You going anywhere like off planet? I'll put you on the ping list when it happens. It won't be that long unless you're soon going to be 6 feet under.
Yes February. Arpaio put his detectives on the case.
"Sheriff Joe Arpaio Opens 2nd Criminal Investigation...."
February until the beginning of June is not very long to conclude an investigation spanning decades, continents and numbers perps.
There is no rational reason for people to sneer and pooh pooh Arpaio’s investigation, unless.... well, the reason is obvious.
See, I think you’re going to listen to some half-baked “expert” talk breathlessly and you’ll say “See, See! Proof!” (you know, like you do every time) and you’ll accuse everyone who doesn’t believe this particular aspect of this particular elaborate conspiracy theory involving hundreds, if not thousands, going back decades, of being paid agents of the Global GOPe /communist/Islamist/ fogbow cabal (you know, like you do every time). No, you name a single criterion that is unarguable and I’ll happily put up the money. And give up the “Just you wait, you’ll be sorry then” bit. You guys have been saying that for so long you’ve lost whatever credibility you ever had.
The latest stupid, OBot Bullcrap like this. It never ends with their lies and criminality.

LoL. Just more incessant lying from OBots.
No, you name a single criterion that is unarguable and Ill happily put up the money.
Haha I'm not giving you any hints. "Think" OBot you can figure out a few. Too many possible ways and means that could come up to prove Obam's birf certificate is the forgery which it is. There must be millions plus ways Obama and his OBots effed up covering up their lying tracks.
There is no rational reason for people to sneer and pooh pooh Arpaios investigation, unless.... well, the reason is obvious.
Quite so. Lj, you only have to see on this thread. OBot ignorance galore.
In CA the secretary of state refused to call for the birth certificate even though that office had previously removed Eldridge Cleaver from the ballot because his BC showed him to be to young.
No one has the balls.
And apparently, citizens don’t even have standing to call for an honest election.
It sounds to me like you’re afraid to name some actual, tangible, non-disputable standard of success for Zullo et al. That seems a modest thing. Does your refusal to do so indicate some deep seated fear you might be wrong?
The Amazon is a great place to fish.
