Defendant, President Barack Obama, a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination for the office of the President of the United States, has filed a motion to quash the subpoena compelling his attendance at the hearing on January 26, 2012.

“If he gets kicked off the ballot in ANY state, it will create more inquiry and more doubt about his legitimacy. If he cannot prove his legitimacy, it will cause people to question the legality of all of his acts. This has the potential to force him out of office and rescind much of what he has done. (although I think that will be too much to ask for.)”
Great point. I hope this comes to pass.
Since when is golfing a Presidential duty?
Presidents and Subpoenas

Since United States v. Nixon, executive branch claims of immunity from the normal processes of the American legal system have been tempered by the fact that the constitutional demands of due process of law and justice are likely to outweigh claims of executive immunity from subpoenas.
Didn’t Clinton have to testify?
Amongst reasonable people, his facade will start to crumble, but I can just hear it from his supporters.
Everything from “it shouldn’t matter, he shouldn’t have to show it” to “they didn’t ask any white guys for their birth certificates”.
Excitedly bookmarked!!!

I think this is about the Democrat primary ballot. Since he has no national opponent, it would be meaningless as far as him receiving the party’s nomination. What other impact it could have, I don’t know.
If one cannot qualify for the primary ballot, one cannot qualify for the general ballot either.
As I understand it a Federal Court, I think it was the Ninth Circuit Court, Disallowed a suit because the plaintiffs had no standing the reason given was that they DID have standing until the Election or maybe the inauguration for Obama was held.
But once that event occurred they no longer had standing only the Congress of the United States had standing and that was pretty much limited to impeachment proceedings.
Now with that logic then in this election season the President has two roles, One is as a seated President and the other is as a candidate running once more for his current office.
Therefore if my reasoning is correct, we as concerned citizens DO have standing as far as the person of the CANDIDATE for President is concerned and can voice our concerns via the Local And State Legal processes. We just don’t have any standing as far as the CURRENT President goes as long as he is ONLY in the role as President and not in the Role as Candidate for President.
Therefore a Lowly State Judge can have standing in enforcing the laws of his state on a current candidate for office.
Bookmark and (((ping)))
I have watched Obama singing several times. It sure sounds and looks like he is saying “I” instead of “I’m”
True, but not being included on just one state’s ballot will open this thing to an entirely new level.
The good people of GA need to find and fund professional personal security folks to insure this Judge does not fall victim to an “accident” or other means of demise....
While you are correct, see my post at #50, if GA says he is not qualified for the state primary ballot then hence he is not qualified for the general election ballot in GA either.....
If he does not qualify for the primary ballot in Georgia, then how could he be permitted to run in the November election there? Does the federal government's authority supersede state authority for federal elections? How can that be legal when the SOS for each state must certify the eligibility of the candidates?
Thank you for the ping!
This administrative law judge is treating the defendant as no more than a (insert your favorite expletive here) politician who is on the campaign trail. Singing at the Apollo may have been a tap dance too far.
One hopes the subpoena provides he is to bring a certified copy of a BC for examination by the court. If so, and a professional examination reveals no defects, then he is on the ballot pending resolution of the foreign father element. Alas, there has been any number of years to prepare such a document; in which event, the “original of it” no doubt resides in the HI archives.
However, if the examination identifies defects, or if he doesn’t produce such a document, he ought to be toast! (At least in GA.)
The picture of Obarry with the golf club behind his back reminds me of the scene in ‘The Ten Commandments” where Moses, standing before Pharoah, is bound by chains , with his arms secured by his staff wrapped around his back.
