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."

So now we can now run Jindal 2016 since 0 is definitely retaining.
Rubio is in.
The Chicago mob showed up at the Judge’s home.
The “fix” is in also!!!
Obozo was hatched under a rock; the progeny of two mating scorpions.
The judge was made an offer he couldn’t refuse.
M
G!
This decision is SO bogus!
Becoming a 'United States citizen at birth' means naturalized AT birth.
It has nothing to do with being natural-born. Natural born citizenship can only be bestowed by Natural Law, not positive law.
It's why the Founders called it NATURAL BORN!
Did anyone really expect any other outcome? It doesn’t matter what this guy has or hasn’t done (which most of us will never know i.e., school, ex-girl/boy friend, SS#,why birth certificate says African for his father(?) etc,etc) nobody will step up and really challenge him out of fear of being called a racist. Last best hope is November. Pray the wool is pulled from over the sheeples eyes by then. Danger Will Robinson, Danger!!!!
So this means an anchor baby could be President.
“The judge was made an offer he couldn’t refuse”
This was ABSOLUTELY what happened.
The union is splitting ala the Cival War ... another war between states.
How does a judge determine Obama was “born in the USA” when he was presented with evidence of a FRAUDULENT birth record??
Yep.
I’m going to clear out of hear even sooner than I thought I would.
America has left me more than I am leaving America.
The corruption has become so thick that you can’t cut through it with an axe.
Someone needs to point out to Lindsey Graham that this decision means anchor babies can run for president. Maybe that’ll get his attention.
Appeal?
Rubio is in.
No and no!
Why should we descend to their level. I am sick of the continual erosion of the Constitution and our liberties. Our Constitution should be defended much like the U.S. Army Rangers who assailed the 100 meter high cliffs at Pointe du Hoc on D-Day defended it.
Before you know it, anchor babies will be running.
But wait...Bill Richardson, an anchor baby, has tried to run with no repercussions.
