The plaintiffs stipulated up front that Obama was born in Hawaii.

Somehow I doubt that Orly Taitz agreed to such a stipulation. All the folks here who are so sure she is a ditz and that NBC would be ruled to mean having two citizen parents are the ones who should be ashamed of themselves. And as for Orly's expert witnesses, I'm wondering who challenged their expertise.

No one. The judge's ruling explains (and cites the Georgia case law) what a party who wants to offer expert testimony has to do. Orly didn't do it.

I never suggested that Orly stipulated to Obama’s birth in Hawaii.

Challenged? Well, it wasn’t the defendant who failed to show up or even send his lawyer.

No one has to challenge their expertise. The burden to establish that they qualify as experts lies with the attorney calling them. The standards by which that burden is met are typically jurisdiction-specific. In this case, Orly made no attempt to establish that her witnesses were experts. Based on past performance, I would suspect that is because she doesn't understand that she has to. In any event, having dealt with this issue numerous times myself, I can say it is unlikely any court would accept the experience of the witnesses proffered as meeting an expert standard.
