Ping to the usual suspects

“Unexpected” /s
just waiting for Subellius to overrule it on executive order
Guess he figures if he ruled otherwise it would be “at his own peril”. The big sissy!!

It stands to reason that the outcome was predetermined. Malihi never intended to find for either Obama or the Plaintiffs. IT was ALWAYS going to be for Obama no matter what was presented,or how perfectly it was presented.
His reliance on Ankney, on WKA... both cases which relied upon false information starting in 1898 only supports that belief.
Leo just posted a serious historical slaughter of WKA, Gray, and the Binney pamphlet Gray relied upon in writing WKA. When THIS new information is presented as a part of the Georgia appeals... it will change the game.

Kemp dismisses ‘birther’ challenges against Obama
http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/kemp-dismisses-birther-challenges-1336654.html
How surprising...../sarc
The Atlanta-Journal Constipation still referring to challenges against the Usurper as “birther”.
It’s all part of the Dog and Pony show.
It was an act from start to finish. Malihi wasn’t doing anything other than trying to make it LOOK good and legit.
Any court citing Ankeny over Minor is totally corrupt, factually incorrect, and frankly effing bonkers. Malihi never intended to rule for the plaintiffs, he was going to enter a default judgment for Obama from the get go. But had to allow the 3 attorneys to make their cases when they insisted. Furthermore, it gave them the ability to appeal the case. Getting a decision on the merits was better than nothing.
Thank goodness the appeals will be filed!
“The Secretary of State formally adopts the initial decision of the ALJ into this final decision.”
I am actually very relieved that SOS Kemp has preserved the entire decision (findings of fact and conclusions of law) of the ALJ as the starting point for an appeal...which could make it up to SCOTUS!
The ALJ decision was advisory to Kemp and Kemp could have eliminated ALL of the ALJ findings of fact and conclusions of law and substituted his own in a very narrow way that would NOT have preserved the issue of the constitutional definition of NBC.
SOS Kemp preserved the ALJ decision that Barry's status as NBC was correctly defined in Ankeny by looking at WKA “in tandem” with the 14A in view of Barry's citizen mom, despite his non-citizen dad.
I am glad that SOS Kemp did NOT overrule Malihi and decide that Barry should be removed from the ballot on a default ruling simply because he failed a mandatory burden of proof that he was eligible. If Kemp had done that then the appeal would be over whether the no-show justified default and NOT whether Barry was NBC, IMO.
IMO, an appeal battle over a default and whether the SOS was ever statutorily entitled to challenge the presidential candidate of a party in the first place is EXACTLY what Barry's legal team was trying to force with their no-hearing demand letter to Kemp.
Jablonski and Bauer would have wanted to AVOID exactly what they now have, which is an appeal on the merits of the conclusion of law that Barry is NBC.
ping to at least the preservation of the Minor NBC clause definition for appeal...IMO
Well, I didn’t think that team Obama had bailed out for just no reason. I think they were tactically hoping for a straight default judgment. That would have ended it right there.
I still think it was all just a 3 ring circus, but maybe, just maybe Malihi did us a favor in making the appeal possible.
This is a 3D chess game. We will not know the outcome for a long time yet.
Okay, someone has to run for office in GA who is not qualified and see what happens. They should refuse to show papers, and when they’re bumped off, sue. “Obama didn’t have to whine”.
I’m sick. Tree/watering/natural manure etc. I don’t see any other alternative. Esp. if Romney is crammed down our gullet. I mean as a candidate; of course if he is, he’ll lose to whoever the Dems trot out.
