This is great news. Does Zero have to bring Betty White’s birth certificate with him?
LOL. The chances of him showing are nil but I admire this judge.
Would the legal guys here please give us commoners a good idea of how important this? Just spittin’ in the wind, or a big storm blowing in?
Then he'll go and shut down Disney World again.

I think the Constitution does not allow a judge to compel the POTUS to appear in court while he is in office. In other words, he cannot threaten him with contempt of court penalty. However, I believe he could rule in favor of the complainant and strike his name from the Georgia ballot if he does not appear.
Since when is golfing a Presidential duty?
Excitedly bookmarked!!!
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.

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....
Interesting, nothing appearing about the order for Obama to appear in court in the media so far, at least according to google and yahoo news searches for “Mahili.”
Georgia Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi
I hope Judge Malihi isn’t holding his breath. Barry is not going to appear. He will claim executive privilege. Of course the judge can just then keep him off the GA ballot which works for me.
GA BTTT!
With news like this... well.... I can’t say that I am “optimistic” yet. But I can say that I am less cynical than usual.
As if appearing would take more time than a trip to Disney.
