MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The Alabama Supreme Court has upheld the dismissal of a 2012 lawsuit which wanted Alabama's Secretary of State to certify the birth certificate of each presidential candidate before allowing their names to appear on the general election ballot.

The court ruled 7-2 on the issue, with Chief Justice Roy Moore one of two justices who dissented from the majority's decision, arguing the lower court should have directed the secretary of state to check candidate birth certificates.

The justices who agreed that the lawsuit should be dismissed were Michael F. Bolin, Tommy Bryan, James Allen Main, Glenn Murdock, Greg Shaw, Lyn Stuart and Alisa Kelly Wise. Moore and Tom Parker both wrote opinions dissenting from the majority.

President Barack Obama's Hawaii birth certificate has been the source of years of speculation in some circles, with Obama critics arguing he was not born in the U.S. and is thus ineligible to serve as president.


Two AL Supreme Court Justices dissented ?

5. Judge Roy Moore?

Isn't this the Ten Commandments guy? Wasn't he removed from the bench? Or am I thinking of someone else?

12. Lost his bid for governor.

But ran for reelection to the Alabama Supreme Court and won.

Really Alabama?

Really?

13. I completely believe it

Despite the fact I have not lived there, I've visited a few times and spent some time there. Alabama is extremely conservative, overall. I'm guessing Huntsville and Birmingham might be purplish.

eta: A Democrat has not won Alabama since 1976.

7. I doubt Obama will run for anything again

So why bother? This was only about Obama.

11. If this thing had passed and Ted Cruz decided to run

this would have come back to bite them in the ass.

14. They will look at it maybe

Or maybe not. Cruz will be good to go. No problem.
