In the event that Judge Malihi rules against zero, the entire case becomes very interesting. Much of American law is based on precedent and legal rulings and, assuming the judgement goes against Obama, it sets a legal precedent that can be introduced in other cases.
Should that occur, I’d stock up on popcorn and batten down the hatches . . . . . . just in case.
Doubtless, zero will appeal and probably go judge shopping to find a sympathetic liberal judge to overturn Judge Malihi’s ruling (which won’t be hard!). That will then lead to more appeals and, potentally, a SCOTUS filing. Of course, by then, zero may well be out of office, but the matter still needs to be resolved. It has been VERY disturbing to note that virtally very previous case challenging zero’s eligibility has ben thrown out based on legal standing. To date, not a single judge or court has defind who has legal standing to bring this type of case against a sitting president, but they have denied that he different people who HAVE filed such cases have the standing. So who does?
IMO, ANY American citizen should have standing to bring such a case to court because this is a fundamental Constitutional issue. As such, ANY citizen should have the right and, if not, I don’t think we have implemented the Constitution the way that the Founding Fathers planned!!
DustyMoment, you’re right when you say “virtually every previous case challenging zero’s eligibility has been thrown out based on legal standing”. We sure have come a long way from the time the Constitution was established with a preamble beginning with the words “We the People” to a time where “we the people” have NO standing to challenge violations of our constitution. Up until this point the legal establishment has dishonored itself in its zeal to protect the poseur Obama and his minions.
I pray that Judge Malihi and the Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp show the fortitude to make a right and timely decision in this case. And I hope that their courageous examples will inspire and be followed by their counterparts in other states.

This is a state issue (federalism).
Next step would be Georgia Court of Appeals, then the Georgia Superior Court, then the Supreme Court.
