The article may have confused some of the details of this case with the Georgia Administrative Court hearing. The judge in this case already denied a preliminary restraining order, and granted the defendant’s motion to expedite. Alabama law doesn’t have similar provisions to those that that authorize the review in Georgia.
In Georgia it looks like the Administrative Court will give the anti-eligibility arguments a hearing, both on the factual, evidentiary issues, and on the Donofrio legal theory. I stand by my bet that Obama will be on the Georgia ballot. Birther like to pretend that no one answers them on the merits, but that’s not true. Some authorities have addressed what birthers see as their merits, and they like those cases even less than the dismissals for lack of jurisdiction.
If there’s one thing birthers hate more than not getting answers to their questions, it’s getting answers to their questions. I expect the Alabama action, the topic of this thread, to be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. I think the Georgia Administrative Court is likely to address the merits, and I expect birthers will be even less happy with that outcome.
