stu the loon is wrong again plus by his definition he is now a birther. 1. In this procedure the judges ruling goes to the head of the election board.... not superior court. 2. that you would even care to bring up typos from years ago shows you what a troll you are.... now lets see... 3. Stu says anyone with a valid reason can and should challenge. (I agree) By those facts... Stu is a birther.
IMO this is bad news for Obama. The judge is probably making sure every base is covered before he makes a ruling against a sitting president. Valerie Ruff, secretary to Judge Malihi, stated a few moments ago that the word from the Judge is that his decision is likely to be sent to the Secretary of Stateâs office either this evening or Monday. Final assessments are being made; and presently the Judge is going over all the aspects of the hearing with all of the âlegal eaglesâ making sure that all the tâs are crossed and the iâs are dotted.â Based on the outcome of the decision made by the Secretary of Stateâs office, there could be an appeal if President Obama is deemed not eligible to be on the Georgia ballot because of his birth. There is just little over one month from today for the Secretary of State to make his decision before the Presidential Preference Primary. http://www.examiner.com/news-you-ca...gia-s-eligibility-hearing-for-president-obama
As I mentioned earlier on this thread, it was a risk when plaintiff's chose to put on evidence instead of letting the default happen. They were stupid. How can a candidate who puts on no evidence win? When the plaintiffs ask for hearing on the merits and have no real evidence themselves. Malahi found in favor of Obama. here was a pretty interesting part... "Ordinarily, the Court would enter a default order against a party that fails to participate in any stage of a nonetheless Plaintiff's asked this Court to decide the case on the merits of their arguments and evidence. The Court granted Plaintiffs' request. By deciding this matter on the merits, the Court in no way condones the conduct or legal scholarship of Defendant's attorney, Mr. Jablonski. This Decision is entirely based on the law, as well as the evidence and legal arguments presented at the hearing."
http://blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/2012/02/03/judge-soundly-rejects-ga-birther-claims/ Judge soundly rejects Ga. birther claims Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi has rendered his judgment, breaking birther hearts all over the country: Barack Obama will remain on the 2012 primary and general election ballot in Georgia. The judgeâs written opinion all but drips with scorn for the absurd case presented to him by Orly Taitz and her colleagues: âThe Court finds the testimony of the witnesses, as well as the exhibits tendered, to be of little, if any, probative value, and thus wholly insufficient to support plaintiffsâ allegationsâ¦. None of the testifying witnesses offered persuasive testimony. Moreover, the Court finds that none of the written submissions tendered by plaintiffs have probative value. Given the unsatisfactory evidence presented by the plaintiffs, the court concludes the plaintiffsâ claims are not persuasive.â In other words, the birthers finally got a judge to listen to their âevidence,â and even with no opposing counsel in the courtroom, the judge concluded that their case was total and complete bunk.
As jem stated,they have now had their day in court. My guess is orly tatz will file another lawsuit soon and once again jem will be dragging out another 75 page birther thread arguing that Obama is not eligible
Orly Taitz has some interesting comments on her site including a comment that the judge did not believe Minor was the controlling case for definition of natural born citizen. The judge appears to have concluded that: 1) Obama was born in Hawaii, and 2) A person born in the U.S. is a natural born citizen regardless of the citizenship of the parents. http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=31124 Here is more indepth comments take from this just realeased story: http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/judge-says-obama-can-be-on-georgia-ballot/ He (Judge Malihi) cited a little-known determination by an Indiana judge. âThe Indiana court determined that a person qualifies as a natural born citizen if he was born in the United States because he became a United States citizen at birth,â wrote Michael Malihi, an administrative law judge in Atlanta. âFor the purposes of this analysis, this court considered that President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Therefore, as discussed in Arkeny, he became a citizen at birth and is a natural born citizen.â [snip] Mark Hatfield, one of the attorneys who, along with Van Irion, focused on the issue of the definition of ânatural born citizen,â said the judge ignored the issue of burden of proof. âIf Obama has the burden of proof, and failed to show up, clearly he didnât carry the burden,â he told WND. âThe judge here completely ignores that.â He also noted it was highly unusual for a judge to reach into another stateâs repository of court rulings to fetch something that would be supportive of the result when the U.S. Supreme Court itself has made a determination. He said heâs hoping the Georgia secretary of state will evaluate the issue carefully, but heâs prepared to take the dispute to the appeals level.
