Now that you mention it, it certainly shows a great deal of contempt for the judge in question.
I presume they calculate that a decision keeping Obama off the ballot in Georgia may be the best outcome, since he stands no chance of winning there anyway. And now he can accuse the judge of being a nutty birther, as a way of explaining what happened.
I’m sure the press, the “conservative” Pundits, the RINOs, and Fox News will all agree.
Least damaging outcome? Better than sending in his lawyer and watching him lose.
I believe that if a candidate is deemed illegal in one state, they cannot appear on the ballots in others. I could be wrong as this is an old memory and I am an older person.
The media was all over Mittens about his tax records, but somehow just can’t seem to get interested in anything that happened in Obama’s life before he burst like a sodden rotten mango on the sidewalk of the national consciousness.
I was pleasantly surprised when I read that the judge had refused to quash the subpoena, but I remained unenthusiastic. I knew then, and I still believe now, that Obama’s minions will find some way to make this all go away.
They always do.
Isn't it ironic that the states with the largest black populations are 'red' states?
You will notice that Obama’s attorney seems to forget there are two other cases tomorrow with other attorneys representing the plaintiffs in their challenges to the president. Jablonski forgets to address them since he so focused on Orly Taitz.
The letters overall meaning is....
How dare you question the King for some “BIRTHER”
claim. Birthers will be reported to attackwatch.
Obama himself could "bring this matter to a rapid conclusion" if he would produce a NON-FORGED birth certificate.
It's easy.
He does not even have to send a team of lawyers to sign waivers. (what kid of waivers, anyway?)
I just did mine on-line recently- it cost $12 and it came in the mail in 2 days.
Weren’t those other cases turned down, not because they lacked merit, but supposedly because the person bringing the case lacked standing? If so, that speaks nothing about the merit of the case.
Jablonski could have shown up for the first hearing (NBC issue presuming Obama born in Hawaii) and ducked the other two.
That he is not even showing up for the first indicates, I imagine, a significant crisis of confidence on the part of the Obama camp.
Sending the letter on the afternoon of the last day prior to the hearing, I now tend to believe, indicates that the Obama camp has no confidence that SoS Kemp has any sympathy for their side. In fact, sending a letter at the last moment requesting that the rules be changed indicates IMHO contempt for the entire state judicial process. This is because the late date of the filing precludes any realistic response from the opposing parties (who btw were all lumped together in this letter). So the SoS is being asked to rule unilaterally to cancel a hearing in his own agency without the courtesy of even waiting to hear opposing arguments. Opposing counsel might have a valid response, but Obama’s camp is saying that it does not matter, and that the SoS should in effect take a chance and rule in Obama’s favor by taking the case away from Mahili at the last minute regardless of what potentially valid counterargument that the opposition might come up with later. IOW, Obama is asking in effect that the Georgia SoS take all the risk of a bad judgment along with granting the request in his letter.
I am not a lawyer but my very limited understanding of courtroom etiquette is that this is simply out of the question and it is disrespectful even to send such a letter to Mahili and SoS Kemp.
This has to rank somewhere up with Nixon for sheer chutzpah on the part of a sitting president to attempt to coerce a court...
He can’t be president of 50 states, if he is shown to be illegal in one of the 50.
If he is willing to write off over 20% of the states right off the bat then he does not plan on being re-elected.
