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.

I saw Ike thrown under the bus on another thread; apparently only Vlad the Impaler is radical enough for the current GOP.

I suspect collusion!

Yes, my friends. The 'judge' in this case: what is his name? Malihi?

Sounds "Hawaiian" does it not?

Yes. I suspect chicanery!

How far does President Obama's influence reach?

Stay tuned for the next episode of "As the Kenyan Worm Turns".

Nice try at lying (again) about what the judge said.
The plaintiff witnesses were crappy and orly failed to qualify them as experts. They might be great experts but becuz orly is a crappy lawyer and didn't have a clue how to question her witnesses about their qualifications and then ask the court to accept them as an expert..... Probably was surprised the judge actually allowed the hearing to go forward and wasn't prepared to present the case.

In other words, another rejection due to a technicality (establishing the witnesses' qualification in court), with still no ruling on the evidence itself.

Listening to Orly speak makes me feel like I'm about to have a seizure.

No, not at all. Try reading the ruling, the merits of the case were addressed, the single parent-dual parent issue, ruled on, history. The natural born citizenship of obama, ruled on, history.

The only birfer issue left is the bogus claims the BC is phony. Enjoy....

I think what Little A is trying to say is that the Judge dismissed the issue of "forgery" and "fake SSN" because the witnesses that Orly had, were not presented as experts to make such judgement. The Judge didn't rule on the substance of their claims and instead focused on them not being experts to begin with.

What I don't think she/he realizes is that the Judge did do exactly that. He looked at the testimony provided by the witnesses, and found that their "findings" were not backed by any weight of the person making the claim.

That evidence of forgery was not proven to the degree that would satisfy the court

That the evidence of a fake SSN (or stolen SSN) was not proven to the degree that would satisfy the court.


I only wished the Judge ruled on the illegal access of the db's used by Orly's witnesses (eVerify and SSN records) and made a recommendation the transcripts and order be transferred to the federal courts for investigation. .

Correct.

The judge said that the lawyer did not present the witnesses' qualifications before him in the hearing. And he cited two previous Georgia cases where it was ruled that such evidence from witnesses who were thus "unqualified", was useless.

His exact words were:

(from Farrar-Welden-Swensson-Powell v Obama - Judge Malihi Final Decision - Georgia Ballot Challenge - 2/3/2012 )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ms. Taitz attempted to solicit expert testimony from several of the witnesses without qualifying or tendering the witnesses as experts. For example, two of Plaintiffs' witnesses testified that Mr. OBama's birth certificate was forged, but neither witness was properly qualified or tendered as an expert in birth records, forged documents, or document manipulation.

Another witness testified that she has concluded that the social security number Mr. Obama uses is fraudulent; however, her investigatory methods and her sources of information were not properly presented, and she was never qualified or tendered as an expert in social security fraud, or fraud investigations in general.

Accordingly, the Court cannot make an objective threshold determination of these witnesses' testimony without adequate knowledge of their qualifications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other words, the judge said flatly that their lawyer blew it, even mentioning "Ms. Taitz" by name.

He never said anything about whether the evidence would have persuaded him, if the people presenting it had first had their credentials presented.
