Judge Malihi in Atlanta, GA, has made his decision.
He did not comment as much on the evidence presented, as on the people doing the presenting.
The judge said that the person presenting evidence of a fraudulent Social Security number was not, herself, a court-recognized expert on Social Security fraud. And the person who presented evidence of forgery on a birth certificate was not, himself, proven to the court as an expert on birth records, forged douments, or document manipulation. Etc. etc.
So, Judge Malihi ruled, the challenge to Obama's eligibility that was heard on Jan. 26, 2012, has failed, and he will recommend to the Georgia SecState that Obama be left on the Georgia ballot.
Actually, now watch birthers throw Malihi under the bus, claiming that since he is an Administrative Court Judge, why should his opinion on NBC of Obama matter. That should only be decided by the Supreme Court.
Oh, you know that this is going to happen. First they claim that he will make a decision that will be precedent for all the US state ballot challenges. Now that he has ruled against them, watch them claim that his decision doesn't matter.
“[N]either Defendant nor his counsel, Michael Jablonski, appeared or answered. Ordinarily, the Court would enter a default order against a 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 Plaintiffs’ request.”
Oh? He explicitly said the evidence was not "probative."
I.e. it was crap.
"Probative": not useable as proof.
The evidence was the testimony of the witnesses. And that testimony wasn't probative because, as the judge actually said, the witnesses were not court-acknowledged experts in the fields on which they were testifying.
Nice try at lying (again) about what the judge said.
While all attention has been placed on the Georgia challenge, another state ballot challenge slipped neatly under the radar in Illinois. Three Birthers filed three challenges there, focused largely on the same arguments used by Irion and Hatfield in Georgia.
The score of Birther eligibility challenges now rests at:
Obama - 4, Birthers - 0
The Georgia decision should be in by early next week.
Dude, you realize DC might not know the ruling is out she has you on ignore.... DC, see the news? Tell Steve.
