More Lawsuits Against Obama 2012
The birthers continue to pester state election boards to bar Barack Obama's name from appearing on 2012 ballots. And they have a new tactic. Via World Net Daily:
The Liberty Legal Foundation has filed a pair of lawsuits in state and federal courts that don't ask anything about Obama's birth or for any determination from the court about his eligibility. Or his birth certificate, for that matter.Instead, they name the national Democratic Party as a defendant, and ask the court to enjoin officials there from certifying that Obama is eligible for the office for the 2012 election.RELATED: Arizona's infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio has assembled a "posse" to thwart any attempt to place Obama's name on his state's ballot.
"This complaint does not request or require this court to find that President Obama is not qualified to hold the office of president of the United States. Instead, this complaint is directed toward defining the term 'natural-born citizen' under the Constitution of the United States, and toward negligence or intentional misrepresentations of the Democratic Party. "This complaint requests this court to affirm the Supreme Court's definition of 'natural-born citizen' as 'all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens.'"
