Thank you for the link to the American Thinker. IMO, the authors raise at least two pertinent points.

The first author emphasizes the context of the matter: Under Georgia law…the determination of whether or not Obama's name will appear on the Georgia ballot ultimately rests with the Secretary. I.e., the hearing officer’s written “judgment” is advisory only (but we knew that).

From the second author: The irony of this course is that Obama is declaring that the court has no Jurisdiction in this matter and will appeal as a matter of law though these damning facts may very well stand!

IMO, there is little irony involved. The defense has avoided the forum and may well prevail on the issue - great game plan!

As far as admitted evidence now being a matter of record (presumably for use in a higher court of law), that would seem to turn on whether the OSAH hearing was competent to hear a dispute over a candidate’s eligibility. If the defense is correct, the SOS’s determination may not include an examination of the candidate’s eligibility. Thus, there is a question of whether the hearing was properly convened.

I am not throwing in the towel yet, but if we easily lose in GA I will be pist that the litigators did not do a better job at forum shopping. We will not know until arguments are presented in a GA court of law.
