Greetings,
As you know we were expecting word out of Georgia today and we got it. Late this afternoon Judge Malihi issued his ruling against all four Plaintiffs.
We caught up with Swensson/Powell's counsel, Mark Hatfield, late this afternoon to get his initial take on the ruling. Here is what he stated “obviously we are disappointed w/the decision, but there are a couple of items in the ruling that we are looking at. First, the Judge never made any ruling on who has the burden of proof even though he indicated in chambers prior to the hearing that making the determination of the burden of proof laid with Defendant Obama." He went onto state "the Judge has a record of placing the burden on the candidate, but didn't do so in this case." Another point Hatfield made was the “Indiana Court of Appeals ruling in Arkeny elevates the Indiana case above the Constitution" while also noting the Judge ignored the Minor court in Minor v Happersett, a ruling that clearly defined natural born Citizen, established precedent. When asked about next steps Hatfield stated "we are going full bore and taking it up on appeal”.

We will be following this in detail and will keep you abreast of activities as they unfold.
Remember, this isn't a race instead we are running a marathon.

We truly are beyond a constitutional crisis.
The people are still asleep. Those of us who can still see are watching the most amazing “communist” takeover of our nation! “They” have been infiltrating our institutions for decades, and now their infiltration is complete.
To say we are screwed is a gross understatement.
Intellectual dishonesty runs rampant in government including the judiciary.
Oh, the judge read somewhere that "Obama" is constitutionally qualified to be on the Georgia ballot as a presidential candidate, and that he proved his qualification? Oh, good. I'm glad to know that.
My father asked me today if I thought that 0bama would leave office voluntarily and peacefully. I told him that I thought so, and at the time I did. But now, no I don't.
I see Bad, BAD times a-coming and even if Romney wins it all it isn't going to get any better. Just some more kicking the can down the road I feel. Soon there won't be anymore road to go down.
Precisely ! Remember who we’re dealing with here!
A hearing/trial is held
The principal party and his lawyer tell the SoS & Judge, piss off.
The judge finds for the accused?
I guess I am missing something here.
If a judge can be threatened to the point where it affects his “judgements”, he should leave the bench and go sell shoes.
“Ditto. Crap case in a meaningless ALJ Court. If ya can’t win in an ALJ Court when the other side doesn’t show up ... well . . .”
Well said.
If the plaintiffs had any expectations that this would not be appealed, regardless of the verdict, then they were wasting their time. Interestingly, if they had won, Obama may not have appealed since he doesn’t need Georgia and the SOS could have been pressured to rule in Obama’s favor. Now the ruling will certainly be appealed and proceed to a higher court. Perhaps Malahi has done the plaintiffs a favor??
Face it people, a signed video confession by Obama stating he was not born it in the US will change nothing, the fix is in, live with it.
I hear you, but this is not about where he was born. His supposed father was a foreigner; that makes him NOT a natural born citizen, period.
The Judge went back on his word.
Can the SoS still keep obama’s name off the ballot?
Hey RD
Yes, the Emperor gets a free ride and is above the law. What a joke....
Looks like Obama needs to get the FEMA camps ready! Free room and board.
Rogers, you just contradicted yourself. You said the judge rejected the idea that Minor attempted to define NBC, but then you quoted the judge saying “he Minor Court merely concluded that children born in a country of parents who were its citizens would qualify as natural born.” I’m not sure what country you live in, but here in the United States, that’s an attempt to define it. The judge only takes issue with whether it was an exclusive definition, which is actually proven by reading the whole Minor decision and not Ankeny’s misinterpretation. Couple that with the judge’s failure to provide any legal evidence to support the assumption that Obama was born in Hawaii, then there’s nothing that supports keeping Obama on the ballot.he Minor Court merely concluded that children born in a country of parents who were its citizens would qualify as natural born.
Yes, but the SoS will have to support his rationale for not following the judge’s recommendation. The easiest way to do this is by explaining that the judge failed to find any facts that support the assumption that Obama was born in Hawaii.
And if they win, Mexicans can take California and shoot the liberal gringos.
