Judge: Obama eligible to be Georgia candidate

President Barack Obama’s name will remain on the Georgia primary ballot after a state law judge flatly rejected legal challenges that contend he can not be a candidate.

Susan Walsh, AP A Georgia judge rejected a "birther" challenge that claimed President Barack Obama was ineligible for the Georgia ballot.

In a 10-page order, Judge Michael Malihi dismissed one challenge that contended Obama has a computer-generated Hawaiian birth certificate, a fraudulent Social Security number and invalid U.S. identification papers. He also turned back another that claimed the president is ineligible to be a candidate because his father was not a U.S. citizen at the time of Obama's birth.

The findings by Malihi, a judge for the State Office of Administrative Hearings, go to Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who will make the final determination. Last month, at a hearing boycotted by Obama's lawyer, Malihi considered complaints brought by members of the so-called "birther" movement.

With regard to the challenge that Obama does not have legitimate birth and identification papers, Malihi said he found the evidence "unsatisfactory" and "insufficient to support plaintiffs' allegations."

A number of the witnesses who testified about the alleged fraud were never qualified as experts in birth records, forged documents and document manipulation and "none ... provided persuasive testimony," Malihi wrote.

Addressing the other claim that contends Obama cannot be a candidate because his father was never a U.S. citizen, Malihi said he was persuaded by a 2009 ruling by the Indiana Court of Appeals decision that struck down a similar challenge. In that ruling, the Indiana court found that children born within the U.S. are natural-born citizens, regardless of the citizenry of their parents.

Obama "became a citizen at birth and is a natural-born citizen," Malihi wrote. Accordingly, Obama is eligible as a candidate for the upcoming presidential primary in March, the judge said.

Even though Malihi ruled in Obama's favor, he expressed displeasure that the president's lawyer, Michael Jablonski of Atlanta, refused to attend the recent hearing.

"By deciding this matter on the merits, the court in no way condones the conduct or legal scholarship of defendant's attorney, Mr. Jablonski," Malihi wrote. "This decision is entirely based on the law, as well as the evidence and legal arguments presented at the hearing."

I remember that Indiana case the judge is referencing. In that case they used the Ark case to determine that obama was a natural born citizen while at the same time admitting that the Ark case didn't make Ark a natural born citizen.

They are never going to give Birther cases such as this the time of day...no judge is going to rule he's not really a citizen. His mother is a US citizen, that is good enough for 99% of the people. The Birthers know this, hence the desperate attempts to 'prove' he was born in Kenya. the idea that in some courthouse a crank like Taitz..who has already been caught trying to bolster her case with forged documents...will produce some document that will prove Barry is a Kenyan and he'll be dragged out of the White House by the Marines is just not realistic.

Even if they were right...and I think it's a pant-load...they still wouldn't do it because it would create a political shitstorm that would be worse than the Dredd Scott decision, Watergate, and Roe v Wade all wrapped up together, and no judge wants thier name on it.

Americans can no longer trust their President, his administration, none of the Federal or State judges, and certainly not the Leftist scum that occupy the Supreme Court. We, the People can trust no one in our government today because they are all as corrupt as the Leader, Obama. Buy Weapons and Ammo, as much as you can, knives, food, water, seeds, blankets, stock up and prepare because this cannot go on much longer. If Obama wins in November, you can be guarenteed it will be thru Fraud, and that will be the sign that We, the People have to take our country back ourselves. We can no longer depend on or trust our own leaders!
