Dissenting Supreme Court Judges Say Obama Birth Certificate A Fake
According to an Associated Press report, an Alabama Supreme Court judge said that Barack Obama should have to prove his eligibility to be on the state ballot in 2012 as well as prove he was born in the United States.
The entirely Republican panel of judges upheld the dismissal in the lower courts with a 7-2 vote that sought to require Alabama’s secretary of state to demand a birth certificate from President Obama and other presidential candidates.
Two of the justices dissented, Justice Roy Moore and Justice Tom Parker.
In Moore’s dissent, he wrote that the secretary of state is the gatekeeper and it’s their duty to determine the eligibility of candidates by finding out if they’re natural-born U.S. citizens.
“The complaint alleged that the Secretary of State failed to perform a constitutional duty to verify the eligibility of all presidential candidates appearing on the ballot in the 2012 general election,” further arguing that even though the election was over, the secretary wasn’t absolved of his duty to investigate the claims.
Parker went further, and said that the plaintiffs presented enough documentation to raise “serious questions” regarding the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate.
Two other justices, Mike Bolin and Tommy Brian, claimed that the secretary of state doesn’t possess the authority or the ability to investigate each candidate’s qualifications.
