Now the question is does he show up or do they try to turn this into a circus. IMO, they would rather give this up on a default judgment instead of taking a chance this court will declare him ineligible. The press will skewer him if that happens, and he’s history. It doesn’t matter that it’s only one state: a legal precedent will have been established. In the default judgment, he can still laugh it off and pretend they’re just crazy in Georgia.

I think it is highly likely that that is what they are going to try, but I also think it is likely that it won't work. They can't keep it a secret that a state has kicked him off the ballot because he didn't show the court that document that has been put on t-shirts and coffee cups. It would stink too badly to cover up.

I don't know. He can still fall back on that comment, "I can't go around with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead" stuff. He can play up to the completely sympathetic press that he's proven this several times and that if the small, administrative court in Georgia can't understand that, then he's willing to let this case go so he can focus on other real priorities, like singing Al Green songs at the Apollo or telling old White women to show their birth certificates to him.
