You said: My understanding (and I haven’t followed it closely) was that (most of) the cases were dismissed on procedural grounds and never reached the substantive issue of whether Obama is eligible to run for President.

Correct! This issue has never been heard on the merits. Tomorrow's hearing is intended to be the first.

You can ask Georgia's Secretary of State, Brian P. Kemp, to allow this case to be heard by sending a message to him here:

(H/T Rush)
^^^^^^^^^^^

Rush will be silent...and so will all the other so-called “conservative” yappers.

In 2008, I turned them off and tuned them out. I can't stand to hear their voices. It's not what they talk about, it is what they **don't** talk about that disgusts me. The eligibility issue is only one of several abuses conservatives suffer that the “yappers” refuse to discuss.

Remember: Rush is the man who **lied** to a caller and when he said that he did not know who Larry Sinclair was.

Yep. Obama’s lawyer basically stated in his letter that Judge Malihi has lost control. This will infuriate Malihi. Also Isn’t it time people wake up and realize that Obama CANNOT prove his eligibility in a court of law?? Notice there’s no attempt to show EITHER of the two alleged hard copies of the alleged long form birth certificate. Can it be any more obvious that these alleged documents are deficient??

Whoa! I was only H/T’ing Rush for the use of the word strategery. I neither worship nor revile Rush (as you apparently do). Of course he has flaws, but otherwise is one of the best spokesmen overall for the conservative cause.

Yeah, I saw that too. I believe there's a GA law in conflict with it, or that court case may not applicable.

We're going to find out soon.

(“The Secretary of State of Georgia is not given any authority that is discretionary nor any that is mandatory to refuse to allow someone to be listed as a candidate for President by a political party because she believes that the candidate might not be qualified.”) Similarly, no law gives the Secretary of State authority to determine the qualifications of someone named by a political party to be on the Presidential Preference Primary ballot.

This argues that there is no controlling legal authority, and that even if Obama is ineligible, there is nothing you can do about it.

The attorney refused to even make an appearance and then went to the Secretary of State without court authorization. This should result in a hefty fine and disbarment proceedings.

Special Prosecutor at the ready

Thanks for your answer and for the link. I happen to be a lawyer and in my 22 years of practice, including a fair amount of time in court, years of research, brief writing, etc. one of the pillars of our system is a preference for judging cases on their merits. Now some will laugh because we have lots of anecdotal evidence that cases get tossed on flimsy procedural technicalities all the time. This is true, but still, decent fair minded judges I’ve appeared before are loath to throw something out completely on procedural grounds unless the rules, statutes or other procedural dictates leave no room to do otherwise.

Which is where I’m going with these questions. This lawyer letter is filled with smoke, half-truth, venom, vilification and procedural obstacles.

Just this once, or any time, I’d like to hear a judge say: “Mr. Jablonski, I am not compelled by your arguments or your authorities to dismiss this case. None of the cases and rules you cited force me to make such a ruling. On the other hand, we denizens of the courts - lawyers, judges, journalists and the like - love to talk about assuring citizens “access to the courts”. One of the hallmarks of a free society is the right to have your plea heard in a legitimate legal dispute and to have it adjudicated in accordance with a transparent set of rules that apply equally to everyone. On that basis, and considering that no court has seen fit to do so before, I am ruling that this case should be heard on the merits. I realize that I will be targeted for ridicule and calumny, but that is no reason for me to shirk my duty to follow the law and to let an undecided issue of vital importance to be heard.”
So Ordered.

I can dream, can’t I?

It’s guerilla disruption at the legal level. I do agree that the legal strategy seems to have Obama’s fingerprints on it.

Obama is playing chicken with the court system and relying (improvidently, IMHO) on the prestige of his current office to save his neck.

At this point, IMHO, even this should be more than obvious to the media, and the media should be digging like crazy into Obama’s background.

Things were getting out of control from the Obama camp’s perspective when all the news media indicated interest in covering the hearing. Obama is trying to limit the damage by telegraphing to the media via Jablonski’s letter to Kemp that the hearing is a farce and not worth covering. It will be interesting to see just which news media withdraws coverage. By doing so they play their hand as being in essence under the influence or control of the Obama camp.

It is patently unfair IMHO to the opposing parties that all the hearings should be suspended pending gathering responses to this letter. As I understand it, it is primarily a letter to the SoS and not strictly speaking a formal filing to Malihi’s court hearing docket (right? wrong?).

Note that in order to have the hearing canceled, Kemp would have to go through chief Administrative Law Judge Max Wood, who has already announced that he would not get involved in the matter:

By the way, anyone know what nationality the name Malihi implies? (Jewish?)

Anyway I think Obama and the GDP at a minimum have written off Georgia and disenfranchised GDP voters rather than cough up a $10 certificate of birth that Obama has publicly admitted is already in his possession...

IOW Obama is either a crook, or just a certified looney and selfish person who does not seem to care how much damage to the country he causes for his personal ambition.

That’s exactly right. Obama’s lawyers has got Georgia backed into a corner now. Apparently the plaintiffs over looked the case Terry v. Handel, 08cv158774S which states apparently, there is no requirement that the candidate be “eligible” to be President in the state of Georgia. Primary winners do not take office. The outcome of a primary merely determines the composition of a slate of delegates to a party convention — again, by internal party rules. The Georgia Superior Court would have to ignore its own ruling in Terry v. Handel in order to find anything other than that Kemp has no power or discretion whatsoever to exclude Obama from the ballot base on eligibility claims.

“a document certified by another state, such as a ‘short form’ birth certificate, or the certified long form, would be required to be accepted by all states under the ‘full faith and credit’ clause of the United States Constitution.” Maskell, “Qualifications for President and the “Natural Born” Citizenship Eligibility Requirement,” Congressional Research Service (November 14, 2011), p.41.” - Letter to Sec of State of GA, Joblonski

Um - then why don’t they submit a Birth Certificate (LF COLB) they have a couple of certified copies handy, right?

Only a legitimate president can be impeached. Usurpers must be arrested and tried for their crimes.

If I understand you correctly, it is legally irrelevant that Obama is the president, only that he is a candidate in the upcoming election.


I’m not a lawyer but as I understand it, Yes, that’s true.

A candidate for an office has to meet the requirements for that office. The holder of that office is assumed to have met the requirements otherwise they wouldn’t hold it. (So the Federal Courts have told us.)

But when the holder of the office in question runs to keep on holding that office they can be both ‘PERSONAS’. That is the Candidate and the Office holder are not necessarily the same person. They can be but they do not HAVE to be.

And it is the Candidate for the Office of the President that is being asked to prove that they meet the legal requirements for the office. That is the SAME for ALL of the candidates. Each and every one of them must meet those requirements.
