Too bad Orly isn't better known. Her "performance" today has SNL written all over it.

Any significance to that?

If this these reports are true then the Birthers better open their check books because this will be appealed unless Kemp overturns and the Democratic party will take it on up the chain if he does not.

So the birfoons gave themselves a black eye? What I want to know is, was the judge astonished they were stupid enough to enter copies of the COLB and LFBC and stipulate to their authenticity?



Seriously, if they entered copies of the birth certificates into evidence and stipulated as to their validity, everything else is moot. The plaintiffs made the case for the defense with nobody speaking for the defense!

If this “rumor” that the Judge said he was going to enter a default judgment against Obama came from Orly, I’d like to mention that Orly also said that Judge Carter “said” he would hear her case on the merits too.

Just saying.

In sales, this is called talking past the deal. When the deal is closed, you shut up and collect your money. Keep your mouth yapping, you'll talk your client right out of the sale.

We ARE talking about birthers, remember. 1/2 of their work is show for money. 1/4 is hate for Obama. 1/4 is delusion.

My dream is that Farrar fuckwit has his name forever on a case that affirms President Obama's right to be on the Georgia ballot. He could very well be the source for all the "default Judgement" bs too. That guy never could keep his mouth shut. I had him in tears one time on TPM when he claimed some young republicans were beaten up for wearing Palin pins, and I needled him for weeks about it when he presented a video just prior to the attack which showed clearly they they were not in fact wearing Palin pins or pins of any sort. He never admitted he was bullshitting at the beginning either.

At this point, we have allegations that a default judgement is set to be rendered, even though I have also read that both sides are being asked to submit final paperwork by the time Judge Malihi issues his recommendation to SoS Kemp. My understanding is also that such a final recommendation would occur by early February (these dates still need to be confirmed).

So far, things are going exactly according to statute. Frankly, it was very stupid for Obama not to have had at least an intern show up to present something for the record. Why? Because when — not if — this thing escalates, the only things that the State Appellate and/or Superior Courts can consider when reviewing the cases are what’s been entered into the record.

Those of you who seethe with disgust and even hatred towards those of us who question should take note: the Plaintiffs played their hand very well with Judge Malihi. They specifically asked to have a few hours to enter their evidence into the record instead of simply allowing for a summary judgement. Nothing outside of what was presented today can be used to consider for or against Obama, going forward, in this case.

Now, some might say that it’s completely unrealistic to believe that SoS Kemp would actually strike Obama’s name from Georgia’s ballot, and that’s their prerogative. Remember, though, that States have complete and total authority, per the Constitution, to regulate elections within their respective jurisdictions as they see fit, as long as they themselves don’t violate the Constitution. In other words, it would be fantastic to see a suit involving another Court against the State for regulating their elections; I don’t think it would work very well, else all States would subsequently not be able to regulate their own elections, and, ironically, that would be unconstitutional.

Based on the consistency of the reports, I'm going to say I'm no longer skeptical and believe they are true. That said, ALJ Malihi's job is to render a recommendation to SoS Kemp, not make a "ruling" or issue any "judgments," which he does not have the authority to do.

That said, and assuming the reports are true, especially Carl's, it appears the judge gave them a win and wanted them all to go away (whether that can be a default or recommendation to remove I'll leave for when we see whatever the judge presents to the SoS).

Staying with the premise that the judge can only make a recommendation, not issue a judgment, is he not supposed to rule on what's before him in the record? Once these "attorneys" decided to make a record to preserve one for appeal (big mistake) there's nothing in this record that supports removing Obama from the GA primary preference ballot.

If he recommends removal based on the record before him he has to state that he gives no weight nor credence to anything placed in the record, and in that case, they made no case and he has to rule for Obama remaining on the ballot (at least by "law").

If he, therefore, recommends removal, based on the fact that Jablonski did not show up, then the appeal will not take long (probably won't anyway) as not only does the record support Obama staying on the record but GA law is very clear that the SoS can't remove him in any case, IMO.

This decision by Malihi (and I'm not certain that's where he would have gone regardless of Jablonski appearing or not) may give the birthers a brief "victory" but it will, IMO, certainly be short-lived.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
