Just in! Liberty Legal Foundation files Motion for Emergency Stay and Preliminary Injunction and Petition for Appeal and Review of Final Decision. See below for links to the filings.
David Welden, a citizen of Georgia, filed a complaint under Georgia law challenging the qualifications of Obama to appear on the GA ballot for the office of President. He then contacted Liberty Legal Foundation and requested our assistance. We have been representing him in this action since December. Liberty Legal Foundation filed an opposition to Obama’s motion to dismiss. The Georgia court agreed with our reasoning. On January 3, 2012 Judge Malihi denied Obama’s motion. The court’s short opinion also clearly stated that Georgia law allows Mr. Welden to challenge candidate Obama’s Constitutional qualifications to hold the office of President. A hearing was held on January 26, 2012 and Judge Malihi ruled on February 3, 2012 that Obama is a “natural born citizen”. While we (as well as all established legal precedent) disagree with the Judge’s determination, this ruling allows Liberty Legal Foundation to argue the substantive Constitutional issue of eligibility through the appeals process.
