Certification News
This week the Georgia Court of Administrative Hearings granted our motion for a separate hearing and set a hearing date of January 26th in our bid to prevent Obama from appearing on the Georgia ballot. The Court’s order and our motion can be viewed on our web site HERE. Other cases will be presented after ours, but we will be going first. This is important because our arguments are very short, simple, and different from the arguments being made by others.
The hearing will be held at 9 AM in Room G-40 of the Fulton County Justice Center Building, 161 Prior Street, Atlanta, Georgia. We don’t yet know whether the public can attend. We will find out soon and let you all know. We would like to pack the courtroom to let the judge know that the public supports our efforts.
Also in January the National Democratic Party and DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz have a deadline to respond to Liberty Legal Foundation’s Certification Class Action federal lawsuit and preliminary injunction. They will almost certainly file a motion to dismiss and attempt to avoid the substantive Constitutional issue raised by our lawsuit. We’ll update you as soon as any response is filed by the Defendants.
We will be setting a hearing date in mid-February for our preliminary injunction motion filed in the Tennessee state CCA lawsuit. That hearing will be held in Memphis, Tennessee. We will let you all know as soon as a time and date is set.
Obamacare News
We are currently working on our Supreme Court amicus brief in support of the State of Florida against Obamacare. As you know we will be the only group arguing for the complete overturn of Wickard v. Filburn.
Illegal Immigration News
As soon as our Obamacare amicus brief is filed we will be preparing another Supreme Court amicus brief in support of the State of Arizona in U.S. v. Arizona. Again, we will be the only group making the argument we’re presenting. In that case we’re the only group pointing to existing Federal Law that is being violated by the Department of Justice and the Obama administration.
State's Rights News
Earlier this month I met with the Board of Directors for the Tennessee Sheriff’s Association to gain their support for a Liberty Legal Foundation re-drafted Tennessee bill that will set the groundwork for nullification with teeth in Tennessee. This bill allows for arrest of any federal agents that attempt to enforce any unconstitutional law within the state of Tennessee. (TN SB1108/HB959 Campfield/Dunn). This bill gives teeth to its companion bill, which was also supported by Liberty Legal Foundation and introduced in the Tennessee legislature last year. (TN SB620/HB 1212 Campfield/Ragan). The companion bill establishes a committee within the Tennessee legislature to review all existing federal laws for Constitutionality, and to submit a list of all unconstitutional laws to the Tennessee legislature for nullification. After it was introduced earlier this year national radio talk show host Neal Bortz discussed this bill and said that he thought it was a great idea. Since then a Utah organization has begun forwarding an identical bill to conservative state legislators across the country. Liberty Legal representatives will be meeting with at least a dozen Tennessee legislators over the next several weeks to shepherd the passage of these bills.
As you can see, December has been a busy month, and next year is already looking to be even busier.
We’re honored to have members from all 50 states supporting our efforts. Please continue to spread the word about Liberty Legal Foundation. If you believe in the work we're doing, please donate what you can. With your help we will restore our Constitutional Republic.
In Liberty, 
Co-Founder, Lead Counsel
