Latest Update from Obama ballot challenge
I just got off the phone with Dean Haskins who was in the courtroom this morning assisting with the Art 2Pac live stream. Judge Malihi talked to the attorneys in chambers before the hearing this morning and told them that he was going to enter a DEFAULT JUDGMENT against Obama and recommend that Obama’s name not be on the Georgia ballot! Alll the attorneys expressed a desire to put an abbreviated streamlined case on the record and the judge agreed. How does the mainstream media spin this? The Georgia SOS has already indicated that he will follow the judge’s recommendation. Obama will not get any popular vote or electors from the great state of Georgia! Congratulations to all freedom-loving Americans!

Ok people, put your thinking caps on..... what is a default judgment?

[Obama Exposer]

That means the plaintiffs win and successfully will get the Judge to request that Brian Kemp, Georgia Sec of State, to strike Obama’s name from the ballot in the presidential primary. The judge will in his recommendation write how defendent Obama was a no show as well as his council which disresptected the judges order to appear on said date of January 26th, 2012. Kemp in his letter to Jablonski stated that he will abide by Judge Malihi’s ruling. Expect big headlines when this happens.

From wiki.....

Default judgment is a binding judgment in favor of either party based on some failure to take action by the other party. Most often, it is a judgment in favor of a plaintiff when the defendant has not responded to a summons or has failed to appear before a court of law.

Just told daddy: He said, through tears, the judge handled it perfectly and again stated that the lawyers did not appear in order to secure their law license and reputation.

God bless Orley.

Win the battle, lose the war.

Plaintiffs entered Obama’s COLB and long form BC on Judicial record as undisputed fact. Obama may be kicked off the Georgia ballot, but he will be able to defend himself against future challenges by asking the Court to take Judicial notice of his COLB and Long Form BC entered as undisputed fact in the Georgia case.

Just thinking several steps ahead - which is dangerous, I know: Assuming Obama is not on the Georgia primary ballot, or the general election ballot, I would expect among many other things an effort to get electors in Georgia and other states (whether or not Obama was on the ballot in that particular state) to vote for the Democratic ticket. this would be deemed necessary to combat “racism” and ensure that the “popular will” favoring Obama be reflected in the election outcome.

Again, it seems more the stuff of a low-grade movie of the week than a projection of legal or political developments in the USA.

But the things we have seen in the past decade or so - the Lewinsky and impeachment episode, Florida 2000 and other elections, and the rhetoric from the left - I suppose almost anything is possible.

In this case, the plaintiffs made a prima facial case and in doing so, the burden shifted to the defense as to why the court should not rule in favor of the plaintiffs in absence of a meritorious defense. Since no defense on the merits was presented, the plaintiffs are entitled to a judgment in their favor.

To keep it simple, the only defense to a default judgment is excusable neglect and AND a meritorious defense. Even if there was a meritorious defense, it would be possible to establish excusable neglect.

This is why I believe the defense attorneys didn't show up. It would not have done Any good and they avoided any possibility of lying to the judge.
