Excerpt:

"On Friday, May 11, 2012, I filed with the New Jersey Appellate Division on behalf of Nicholas E. Purpura and Theodore T. Moran their appeal of the New Jersey Secretary of State’s final decision to permit presidential candidate Barack Obama on the New Jersey primary ballot.

On Friday, May 11, 2012, I also made an application with the Appellate Division that the appeal be handled on an emergent basis. On Monday, the Court issued an order providing that the Court, sua sponte, accelerates the appeal. The Court has ordered that appellants file and serve their brief and appendix on or before Friday, May 18, 2012 and that respondent Barack Obama file and serve his responding brief and appendix on or before Friday, May 25, 2012. The Court also ordered that the New Jersey Attorney General file and serve his response on or before Friday, May 25, 2012. Finally, the Court scheduled telephonic oral argument for Wednesday, May 30, 2012, at 1:00 p.m. The appeal will be heard and decided by a panel of three Appellate Division judges, Clarkson S. Fisher, P.J.A.D., Linda G. Baxter, J.A.D., and Philip S. Carchman, J.A.D."

The following is an excerpt from COMMENT #14, by 'Seizethecarp' in the thread:

Seizethecarp's comment was in response to 'SeaHawkFan's statement: “The court wants as little publicity for this case as possible.”


"If the court wanted to give as little publicity as possible, as a first option it could have not only refused to take the case, but in addition, not given notice until it was too late to effect Barry’s placement on the ballot.

Second, it could have delayed accepting the case beyond the normal time frame for the circuit.

Third it could have accepted the case in the normal time frame.

Dead last is take the case early, IMO.

I don’t presume to know how the court will rule, but I believe it might “offend the conscience” of the court in reviewing the lower court transcript to find that Barry’s defense attorney Alexandra Hill said that “Micky Mouse” would be qualified to run as a Democratic Party primary candidate in NJ and that the defense didn’t even bother to submit a certified BC to the lower court (or in any court anywhere)."
