Quote from jficquette:
UPDATE: An Alabama Court has announced that it will hear arguments as to whether Barack Hussein Obama II is in fact eligible to appear on the State Presidential Primary Ballot.
Several Alabama citizens have filed a lawsuit within the Alabama Circuit Court to "prevent certification of President Barack Obama for 2012 Alabama ballot access pending final hearing based on factual evidentiary hearings."
The deadline for any candidate to register to appear on the Alabama Presidential Primary ballot is just days away, but by agreeing to hear the case, the Alabama Courts have effectively stalled any efforts by the Democratic Party to place Obama on the ballot.
Just as important is the fact that the Court did indeed accept the case. By agreeing to hear the case, the Court appears to have recognized that the defendants, ordinary Alabama citizens, do in fact have standing. In many previous eligibility cases, courts have ruled that ordinary citizens did not have standing, in other words were not sufficiently harmed by the actions of the defendant and therefore had no legal right to bring their case before the courts.

Judge dismisses suit to keep Obama off Ala. ballot
Posted: Jan 09, 2012 10:12 AM CST
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A state judge has dismissed a lawsuit aimed at keeping President Barack Obama off the ballot in Alabama this year.
Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee ruled Monday in Birmingham against a complaint that argued Obama isn't a natural-born U.S. citizen and can't legally serve as president. The judge's ruling followed a brief hearing.
The man who filed the suit, Albert Hendershot Jr., declined comment. His complaint contended Obama has a fake birth certificate and Social Security number. He sued state Democrats in an attempt to keep Obama off the ballot in the presidential election.
Democratic Party attorney Barry Ragsdale successfully argued this is a political issue that shouldn't be in court.
Party officials had said the judge needed to act quickly because the party and state election officials need to prepare for Alabama's presidential preference primary on March 13.
