Suit to keep President Barack Obama off Alabama primary ballots dismissed by Jefferson County judge

[dixiegrrrrl]

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama --- A Jefferson County judge this morning dismissed a Birmingham man's lawsuit seeking to keep President Barack Obama off primary ballots March 13 in Alabama.

After a hearing in her Birmingham courtroom, Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee ruled that the courts have no authority to tell the state political parties who they can include on their primary ballots.

Albert E. Hendershot filed the suit Dec. 13 against Mark Kennedy, chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party. He contends he has "staggering" evidence that Obama is using a forged birth certificate and fake Social Security card, and that he is ineligible to serve as president because he is not a natural-born citizen.
Hendershot asked Lee to order party officials to produce Obama's birth certificate and Social Security application, and hear other evidence in Hendershot's bid to bar the state Democratic Party from listing Obama on the primary ballot.

Kennedy's lawyers argued that Hendershot's suit was frivolous, he did not have any legal grounds to challenge the party's candidate-selection method and the courts have no control over the party primary process.
An appeal is likely. Hendershot's case has been taken on by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer who has filed several lawsuits challenging Obama's legitimacy as president. Taitz did not attend Monday's hearing.

1. Antebellum ,isn't a period in history

[baldguy]

2. "Staggering evidence" - just don't mind that it's written in crayon & has gravy stains.

3. And the Georgia suit (Orly stuff) failed also. Idiots.

4. How can Orly Taitz file suits in multiple states when you have to be admitted to the Bar

in whatever state you're practicing law?

5. She may have been admitted to the bar in those states.

All you have to do is pass the state test and be "of good moral character" I think.
Some state tests are much harder that others to take, but Cal. is supposed to be a very hard test, apparently she passed that.
fortunately, you only have to pass once, and can get a C- and still pass.
I think ....

6. She is practicing, she just hasn't gotten it right yet

8. Normally you petition the court to admit

you for a particular case. It's up to the judge whether (s)he allows it or not. About time judges declare her to be a vexatious litigant and refuse to accept her filings. But, in the deep South...

9. "But, in the deep South..."

... it was thrown out of court by the black, female judge.

[COLGATE4]

10. That's fine, but the point was that

judges should no longer be accepting cases from Oily, period. This time we were lucky and got a decent judge - next time, who knows? There is no reason this crap continues to be rewarded by taking up court time.

[Syrinx]

11. you didn't really state a point. You just said "but in the deep south..."

And left it hanging.

The outcome in Birmingham was just like in all of Orly's other cases. It was thrown out of court.

7. Jeebus on a crutch

when are they going to declare Oily a vexatious litigant and block her from launching all these frivilous suits. She should have been sanctioned a dozen times by now. What gives?
