Georgia orders President Obama to appear in court!

That's right, folks. Birthers are alive and well in many states, and this month, a Georgia Judge ordered President Obama to appear in court to prove he is a citizen of the United States.

Do I believe he will show up? Of course not. But why not? Just be done with this if he is a citizen. This is not a done issue although Obama supporters and even many Republicans wish this issue would go away. However, in Georgia and in many states, the question arises again for the 2012 election as to whether or not the President of the United States is qualified to be on a ballot.

It looks like he may not make it on the Georgia ballot for starters, and what happens if he defies the court order? Will the President be in contempt of court?

I have just enough doubt that I would like to be sure.
You take language mean to refer to agents of foreign governments, such as royalty vacationing here, military attaches, foreign dignitaries like ambassadors, and try to use it to prove something else. So far it doesn't seem to be working too well for you. The court is letting you know a sad fact of life, you get to have your own opinions, you do not get to have your own history.

we'll see what happens

I looked for any story in Atlanta newspaper, found nothing!! Damn!
Holly K. Jan 30, 2012, 5:00pm UTC
That's interesting - I wonder what would happen.

havent heard anything,, maybe a hoax,,
I bet his people will show up,,, just to prove you all wrong,,
Lee Y. Jan 30, 2012, 6:10pm UTC
He did not show up.

Causing the judge to consider a default judgement against him. ""But the attorneys argued against such an easy victory on the point of the single hearing, expressing instead their desire to get the evidence concerning Obama’s eligibility or lack of it in the record, so that it would be there should the case elevate to an appellate level..."

"...Hatfield and Irion told WND the expected process is that Malihi will make a decision over the course of the next week whether Obama, without appearing or being represented at the hearing, documented his eligibility to the court’s satisfaction..."

"...At the time Jablonski [Obama's lawyer] complained to Kemp and told him he should simply cancel the hearing, Kemp warned Jablonski that he ultimately would be reviewing the hearing result, and to not participate would be at Obama’s “peril.”.."

Not a hoax, Steph-in-NE.

Thanks for that update, Lee.

It wouldn't matter what he did, said or brought... that was demonstrated when he got permission to obtain and release the Hawaii Long Form Birth Certificate (which some nitwit will instantly denounce as fake, as soon as this posts). That would be the reaction in any state court that thinks it has the power to subpoena a sitting President.
Marilyn M. Jan 30, 2012, 6:57pm UTC
Broken record for you, huh, Chuck? Are you sure Obama isn't paying you?
*Carol ~Bronx Southern Belle Y. Jan 30, 2012, 8:31pm UTC
I just wonder if this is the same as some people who want to arrest Bush as a war criminal.
Steve B. Jan 30, 2012, 8:38pm UTC
Bush is a war criminal. He's not going to be arrested. Thank Obama for that.
And none of that would exclude Obama, it does not say one parent or two, it just says parents
Larry H. Jan 30, 2012, 7:10pm UTC
iT is never going to happen.
*Carol ~Bronx Southern Belle Y. Jan 30, 2012, 8:32pm UTC
I agree, Larry, but they could keep him off the ballot.
Steve B. Jan 30, 2012, 8:37pm UTC
Doubtful, but irrelevant. Obama's not going to win GA, anyway - not even against Ronmey.
Larry H. Jan 30, 2012, 8:39pm UTC
michigan they say we have to vote either republicican or Demorcratic, he is the only one running on the democratic ballot. guess there are a bunch running on the republician ballot..
No Larry. There will just be one Republican on the ballot when President Obama and he are running against each other. The ones that are going on now are just us choosing which Republican will run.
It seems like we've been watching someone run for office since the year before Obama became President :)
Keep dreaming Kenboob

"Will the President be in contempt of court?"

A state judge thinks he has jurisdiction over a federal matter, or over the official documents of another state? This judge apparently has a seriously inflated sense of his authority.
Ajatasutra Bharaputra Jan 30, 2012, 9:02pm UTC
True that.
Ajatasutra Bharaputra Jan 30, 2012, 9:04pm UTC
Um. No. If it gets to a Federal court level, then, maybe, he'll send a representative with his certifications and passport and all the stuff that proves he's legally a US citizen (the same documents that any individual provides to the same purpose). Then he'll embarrass another set of birthers. They'll go home shouting 'fake!' and 'liar!' and blaming the judge for having been bought out by the administration, despite the fact that the judge would have preferred to hand down a verdict for the plaintiff. And there will be more hand-wringing and tongue-lashing, and, by-the-by, a new complaint will crop up.
Does not mean what you think it does, Kenboob

the whole birther thing is a lie. It's time to move on and deal with reality.
Steve B. Feb 1, 2012, 8:35am UTC
Alot of things in politics are lies. Truth and facts no longer matter. And that's how we end up in places like Iraq. How ideological does a judge have to be (or psychotic) to even hear this case, when the supreme court has refused to hear similar cases before?
Susan G. Feb 6, 2012, 11:38am UTC
Obama was born in America to an American citizen. His father was born in Kenya and is still a citizen of Kenya. Hawaii was at the time of Obama's birth a full-fledged state. I do not know how many times or in how many ways this must be proven before birthers will finally accept these simple facts. I suspect that they never will since facts are not what they deal with.
They never will, Susan, Kenboob, and others of that particular mental affliction, get attention this way, and apparently need that, is all.

Thanks for posting to Point Taken. Have a great night!
Executive privilege, no state court has the authority to subpoena a sitting president, do they? Could be wrong on that, but I doubt it. The requirements for running and holding the office of president are federally determined, and if Georgia wants to have its electoral college representatives seated, I think they will eventually bow to federal requirements. They can do what they wish, though, Obama wont mind if they want to sit 2012 out, I imagine....
Threw that crap right out of court, just like I told you they would, lol. Orly may have perjury charges in Hawaii coming, too. All in all, justice is served, eventually, in spite of birther idiocy....

thanks for sharing
