Yes..... This is one way courts are ignoring the evidence and not hearing the issue on merits. If a court does not want to hear a case it is so easy for the judge to use confusing legal logic, like standing, and dismiss the action.
However, the opposite is also true. If a court wants to hear a case, it can deny motion to dismiss, continue the trial, make a ruling and then let the rest be sorted out on appeal. At least then, there would be a record.
""""In a trial on the merits in Georgia, the judge ruled that Obama was born in Hawaii and that he is a natural born citizen. (Farrar, Swensson, Powell & Welden v Obama)."""
I believe this was the case where....
First the court rules against a motion to dismiss.
Then, Obama ignored all subpoenas.
Then, Obama and his attorneys refused to participate in the proceedings. They even challenge the court by boldly stating they will not participate nor provide subpoenaed material.
The Georgia Secretary of State says such action on their part will be at the attorney’s and his client’s (Obama's) peril.
The judge offers plaintiffs a summery judgement.
Plaintifs attorneys wanting the evidence presented and an official record of the same refuse the summery judgment.
The hearing proceeds without Obama or his attorneys present. Substantial evidence and testimony is presented being only against Obama.
One week later, the Judge finds in favor of the defendant?
How is this possible? What evidence was presented in court to support the judges findings? How can Obama and his attorneys disrespect the court, ignore subpoenas, fail to present evidence,and yet prevail?..... The judge did not even find them in contempt!!!
Something is really fishy here. Don't you agree?
Yes, that is the lawsuit. The administrative law judge’s ruling was re-filed with the Georgia Superior Court for Fulton County and the original judge was upheld. The plaintiffs then appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court which refused to reverse the decision. Then the lawsuit was appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States which denied a petition to hear the appeal.
There were 49 other ballot challenges to Obama’s eligibility in the 2012 election cycle. They were heard in 21 other states besides Georgia plus one was heard in the District of Columbia.
