Attorneys who argued in a Georgia court this week that Barack Obama isnt eligible to be president say Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi considered granting a default judgment before they even argued the case.
That presumably could have recommended that Obama failed to prove his eligibility and therefore should not be on the 2012 ballot, since he and his lawyer snubbed the hearing, for which Obama was subpoenaed.
But the attorneys argued against such an easy victory on the point of the single hearing, expressing instead their desire to get the evidence concerning Obamas eligibility or lack of it in the record, so that it would be there should the case elevate to an appellate level.
The attorneys also said the strategy decision by Obama to simply ignore the subpoena and the hearing may ultimately backfire, because judges typically arent pleased to listen to arguments from someone who wants to introduce evidence during an appeal.
Both attorneys, J. Mark Hatfield and Van R. Irion of Liberty Legal Foundation told WND they felt comfortable discussing the situation as the judge had imposed no ban on communicating what happened.
The judge
was considering just entering a default judgment against Obama, Hatfield said today. The plaintiffs attorneys uniformly did not want the judge to do that because there wouldnt be any evidence in the record at all.

And the Georgia SoS is certainly not going to say “Obama meets all the requirements to be on the ballot but can't be on the ballots because he pissed off a judge.” Since when have judges been so special?
Not showing up makes the judge’s job real easy... facts/evidence is undisputed. Bamm! (gavel cracking judge’s bench)
Besides, the article says that they REJECTED a summary judgment. I think by presenting their case they took it off the table - the judge will now make a decision based purely on the merits of the case.
The primary question for consideration is which state will be next to follow Georgia’s lead

It looks like Alabama is on deck.

An Alabama Court has announced that it will hear arguments as to whether Barack Hussein Obama II is in fact eligible to appear on the State Presidential Primary Ballot.
Several Alabama citizens have filed a lawsuit within the Alabama Circuit Court to prevent certification of President Barack Obama for 2012 Alabama ballot access pending final hearing based on factual evidentiary hearings.
The deadline for any candidate to register to appear on the Alabama Presidential Primary ballot is just days away, but by agreeing to hear the case, the Alabama Courts have effectively stalled any efforts by the Democratic Party to place Obama on the ballot.
