Liberty Legal Foundation and Presidential Candidate John Dummett File Federal and State Lawsuits Against National Democratic Party to Block Certification of Candidate Obama for Inclusion on 2012 Ballot
Important Points:
Lawsuit asks court to enjoin National Democratic Party from certifying Obama as Constitutionally qualified to hold the office of President
Lack of certification by Democratic Party would prevent Obama from appearing on the ballot in the 2012 general election
Lawsuit asks court to confirm Supreme Court’s definition of “natural-born citizen” as having two parents that are BOTH U.S. citizens at time of birth. See Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875).
Obama’s place of birth and birth certificate are irrelevant and not discussed
Text:
On 10/25/11 Liberty Legal Foundation and John Dummett filed two simultaneous class action lawsuits against the Democratic Party. Both lawsuits request injunctions prohibiting the Party from certifying that Obama is Constitutionally qualified to run for the office of President in the 2012 election. Without such a certification from the Party, Obama will not appear on any ballot in the 2012 general election.
Neither lawsuit discuss Obama’s place of birth or his birth certificate. These issues are completely irrelevant to the argument. LLF’s lawsuit simply points out that the Supreme Court has defined “natural-born citizen” as a person born to two parents who were both U.S. citizens at the time of the natural-born citizen’s birth. Obama’s father was never a U.S. citizen. Therefore, Obama can never be a natural-born citizen. His place of birth is irrelevant.
Despite numerous legal challenges, no lawsuit to date has been able to get a hearing on the merits related to Obama’s natural-born status. LLF has studied all of these cases in order learn from the rulings and avoid the pitfalls that stopped those lawsuits. LLF has learned that all states rely upon the truthfulness of representations made by the political parties, that their candidates are qualified to hold the federal office for which they are nominated. By naming the National Democratic Party as the defendant LLF not only targets the entity responsible for vetting the Democratic candidate, LLF also avoids taking on any state or federal government. The Democratic Party is a private entity, without any government immunities or government procedural advantages.
LLF also learned that Presidential candidates that are registered with the Federal Election Commission have standing to ask a court to keep another candidate off the ballot. Consequently LLF partnered with FEC-registered Presidential Candidate John Dummett. Mr. Dummett is a conservative Republican who believes that the Constitution should be followed.
Because LLF has a lead plaintiff that is a Presidential Candidate, and because that plaintiff is also a Liberty Legal member, Liberty Legal has standing to sue as well. If one plaintiff has standing to sue, all plaintiffs have standing to sue.
Because Liberty Legal has standing to sue, anyone that believes the Constitution should be followed can join this class action lawsuit as a class member! If you agree that the Constitution should be followed, please add your voice to ours. Please join our class action lawsuit to protect the legitimacy of the ballot.
Copies of the filed complaints are attached to this release.
