Interesting hearing in Georgia the morning streamed on line in which the challengers to the right of Obama to be on the Georgia ballot were able to put substantive evidence on the record uncontested as a result of the Obama decision to not appear.
The issues in the three cases were that Obama’s father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth, and therefore was not a natural born citizen; that the birth certificate was a forgery that was posted on line by Obama; the social security number for Obama could not be verified; and that he resigned his law license in Illinois because of his identity issues.
It was hard to hear the audio, but in my opinion, the attorney’s did well, but it would have been nice to have a better presentation from the female attorney, Orly T (sp?)...who is not very experienced in court and presented good evidence in a truly horrible way, without even really knowing basic rules of evidence and the process for admitting that evidence in trial.
The Administrative law judge will eventually issue a ruling which I believe is subject to oversight by the district court judge.
I believe the effect of a favorable ruling would be to keep him off the ballot and disqualify him from any write-in campaign as well.
If he was going to lose Georgia anyway, he probably doesn’t care. I wonder what would happen in a swing state?
Nice summary! O’s attorney did not appear (and neither did O despite being subpoenaed). O’s attorney did not file an amended motion to quash the subpoenae, but instead wrote a crybaby letter to the GA SOS asking him to take the case away from the court. He got a prompt smackdown from the SOS (do not appear “at your peril”). Guess he & O decided that they’d risk the “peril” rather than have to testify under oath in court. Besides, abiding by the law is SO beneath Barry.
