That would be great, but it's wishful thinking. A man can be expected to stand against the forces which will be arrayed against him if he has someone backing him up with the law, but by himself? I would be astounded that he would be willing to do so.
I think we may have discovered an avenue of victory though. If Obama won't show up or present evidence for any of these hearings, next time we take a default judgement, and let THEM sue to overturn it. (Providing we can find another state to try this in.)
No, actually I don't think would have been a good strategy. If Obama sues to overturn a judgment, it means he's arguing against the state. At best the state would only have a superficial interest in defending this on appeal. The better option is for skeptics and challengers to appeal where more evidence can be presented and the weakenesses of Ankeny can be attacked. Malihi may have done this issue a favor because he left open Obama's bona fides.
