We will risk the fairly safe assumption, as this is being written, that Air Force One did not make an appearance at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport sometime Thursday....
You almost have to laugh at this latest chapter in the seemingly endless “birther” saga, because about the only alternatives at this point are tears and/or nausea.
It was embarrassing enough when members of the Georgia legislature -- including, to Columbus’ acute humiliation, two members of the local delegation -- drafted a “Presidential Eligibility Assurance Act” in the last legislative session.
Now Georgians get to enjoy the added spectacle of their secretary of state, Brian Kemp, warning the president (let that sink in -- warning the president) through a White House attorney that failure to appear in a Georgia court would be “at your own peril.”...
Peach Pundit editor Charlie Harper, in a blog published this week in the Savannah Morning News, wrote: “This is a mistake. We are taught from a young age that we will be judged by the company we keep … The birther argument transcends disagreements of policy and politics and spirals into pure nuttery.” How true.
Georgia, no thanks to some judgment-impaired officials and certainly without the consent of the governed, has been slumming in the Orly Taitz nuttery neighborhood way too long. Please, for the sake of the state’s already battered image, let’s just quietly tiptoe out of this putrid political ghetto and back to the daylight side of town before we attract any more ridicule....

Your sh*tting me!
NO Way! ;>)
transducer: “Every President has a constant barrage of frivolous lawsuits...”
Yes, and interestingly enough, frivolous law suits almost never get to the courtroom. Hence one would have to suggest that perhaps this is not one of those.
The entire story is playing to the ignorant masses which is the dems base, trying to make them believe citizen and NBC are one and the same.
Expect future stories on how Rich White Republicans consider blacks to be 3/5 of a person and not a citizen.
As Bigun also pointed out, at least you have one thing correct. But that is also IRRELEVANT. It's their citizenship status at the time of the offspring's birth that matters. Neither Obama's nor Rubio's parents were citizens AT THE TIME OF THEIR BIRTH. You can't say that because they were naturalized later, that Rubio is eligible. If that's what you're trying to say. That would be some kind of ex post facto decision.
Tell me, has Obama been to all 57 states yet?
[note, the Islamic world has 57 states.]
Mr "This issue is "Flapdoodle" " is posting more opposition research. Again, not the activity of someone who is unconcerned with this issue, but someone who is actively working for the other side.
Good post. Transducer the troll doesn't get it, but our forbears already gave us an answer to your query in 1874: NO, that child could NOT constitutionally be President.
Hence Obama the Usurper.
Way!
And by the definition of natural born citizen...

There is good cause to doubt Obama's status, too many questions are unanswered, too many claims unproven.
If seeking justice causes hurt feelings or civil unrest it is just too damned bad!
Yeah, amazing, isn’t it?
This lawsuit wasn’t really a so-called “Birther” lawsuit.
This was a suit to prove eligibility to be on Georgia’s ballot.
Should have been a simple thing for Obama the wunderkind to do, right?
After all, we were assured in ‘08 that he was articulate and a great orator.. as long as he’s speaking froma teleprompter.
Retread troll tries to sue the Admin Moderator....
and loses.
Qualifications for the presidency are:
Age 35
Born in the US
Where a candidates parents were born is immaterial.
I was being just a tad facetious.
As I understand the case, the Secretary of State has declared that he will make a decision, based on the decision of this administrative court judge.
Team Obama will likely appeal and all sorts of stuff...and initially one would think that he could stretch this out until after the election.
However, I believe this SOS has the authority to say ‘Team Obama, you haven’t provided enough documentation to qualify for the ballot’, at any time...and he can rely on the initial judge’s decision.
So, what we may have is finally a politician somewhere, with the cajones to stand up to ridicule, charges of racism, and media smears& snears...and do the right thing. Maybe.
If anyone else is more learned in the case, and I have mispoke, please correct me.
I know.

IBTZ!
The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle.
Minor v. Happersett (1874), 21 Wall. 162, 166-168. The decision in that case was that a woman born of citizen parents within the United States was a citizen of the United States, although not entitled to vote, the right to the elective franchise not being essential to citizenship.
BladeBryan, is that you? Your arguments are still stupid. Firstly, the Wong Court got it wrong. They intentionally ignored the debate in Congress which explicitly stated that citizenship would not apply to the children of transient aliens. Secondly, even if the 14th Amendment so intended (which it did not) it still was not intended to re-define the Presidential Eligibility requirements which Preceded the 14th amendment and remained in effect both before and after. Thirdly, You are again behaving as a opposition partisan and not as someone who considers the whole issue "flapdoodle" as you pretend.
The Fact that you lied about this is good enough for me. I think you need to be zotted.
