President Obama's name should appear on Georgia's 2012 presidential ballot, in the official opinion of Judge Michael Malihi of Georgia's Office of State Administrative Hearings (OSAH), issued on February 3. Judge Malihi's decision is the result of hearings held January 26 on three separate actions brought by several Georgia residents. Under Georgia law, Secretary of State Brian Kemp had referred the challenges, filed last November, to the OSAH for a recommendation.
Ordinarily, the Court would enter a default order against the party that fails to participate in any stage of a proceeding...Nonetheless, despite the Defendant's failure to appear, Plaintiffs asked this Court to decide the case on the merits of their arguments and evidence. The Court granted Plaintiff's request.
Two of the challenges, represented by attorney Van Irion of the Liberty Legal Foundation and Georgia Rep. J. Mark Hatfield, did not focus on Obama's place of birth or the infamous birth certificate. Rather, Irion and Hatfield contended that Obama, with his non-US citizen father, is not a "natural born" citizen according to the rule of statutory construction in the interpretation of the Constitution and existing Supreme Court precedent. (Further explanation of those assertions is contained in a comprehensive amicus brief submitted to the court, prepared by attorney Leo Donofrio.)
In his sweeping denial of the Plaintiff's challenges, however, Judge Malihi did not mention the principle, and instead relied on the 2009 case of Ankeny v Governor, stating that "[t]he Indiana Court determined that a person qualifies as a natural born citizen if he was born in the United States because he became a United States citizen at birth."

Is PP a FReeper? I never heard of one by that name.
If you are talking about the long-dead prince...well, I’m planning to leave, not to kill myself.
What evidence did the defendants present to the court that disputed her case?
“The Masque of the Red Death” (1842), is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. The story follows Prince Prospero’s attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, has a masquerade ball within seven rooms of his abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, as do the guests.”
Maybe there is more to your story than I realize, but Prospero comes to mind whenever someone informs of their plans to escape America. In reality America is just starting to get exciting after a long, dull period!
Yup, I’m thinking someone had a educational chat with the good judge. And I’m also thinking all hell is about to break out in the US.

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.

Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

Who will save freedom?
A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.
(Snip)
Dr. Orly Taitz, Phil Berg and Gary kreep, all of whom have made defending the constitution and the American way of life a personal ambition in the absence of any constitutional leadership.
If the American people fail to get behind these brave few who are seeking peaceful redress, all the peaceful options will evaporate as if they never existed. We will return to a pre-1776 America overnight.
no one will challenge him out of more fear than that
I vote civil war in that case, and anyone who supported this is a combatant and not to be accorded quarter.
I once swore to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. No passes to enemies who are merely idiots.
You nuts have screwed everyone.
I would stay home, no voting for any anchor baby, not ever.
Funny how our judicial system works isn't it? The freedom of 350 million Americans, if not the free world, rested in the hands of one judge. He could have simply followed procedures already set down and entered a default judgement. Instead, he became an attorney for the defendant. Just one man with courage, that is all we asked for, and still, that one man will not come forth.
I am getting more convinced that God is responding to Reverend Wright's demand to curse this nation. He said openly in church that he wanted God to damn America. Obama attended that church, and America made him the president. America, by its choice, endorsed Reverend Wright's public request to God. Yes, we are being damned by God. The courage of good men, just men, Godly men, is not be found in this nation anymore.
The fogbutt trolls seem to think so...LOL!
But what the heck, sacred honor means nothing to some people anyway.
Bump to a great post.
“The judge was made an offer he couldn’t refuse”
No question that that is exactly what happened. Plus, threats of major riots in Atlanta.
The Constitution doesn’t matter anymore. Most disturbing of all is that there aren’t any GOP reps that have the balls to even save what’s left of the smoldering ashes.
Pray for America and prepare for the second revolution.
I'm afraid it won't; we can't even depend on our little Republican primary voters, much less the general electorate.
If this is true, then the plaintiffs are entirely to blame for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
The shock value of being removed from even one ballot with a summary judgment would have been of great service.
It would have pushed this question into numerous venues rather than gamble all one's hopes on a single judge being both scholar enough and courageous enough to stand up and say that the emperor has no clothes.
This judge is also surely aware of what the people of AL did to Judge Roy Moore, when Moore spoke up for civil liberties. He is probably afraid of the people of GA.
Look,
I’ve already made the travel plans.
Excitement is what you are looking for? Well, if you find excitement in an unrelenting attack on personal freedom, common political corruption, and a crooked legal system, you are about to have the time of your life.
I’m nearly 64 years old, I have beat 4th stage cancer three times and therefore have a very doubtful future.
I don’t care to spend the rest of my days-—probably not very many-— watching the country I love being chewed to death by rats.
So, have a ball my fellow FReepers. I used to enjoy doing this but things have gotten a little too ugly for my taste.

PS: I am Asturian on my mother’s side(very common in Tampa). But I never read much Poe. I really thought somebody must have used Prospero as a FR screen name and either flew the coop or got zotted.
