A Georgia judge has refused a demand from Barack Obama to quash a subpoena to appear at a series of administration hearings Jan. 26 at which residents of the state are challenging, as allowed under a state law, his name on the 2012 presidential ballot.
WND reported this week when Obama outlined a defense strategy for a number of state-level challenges to his candidacy in 2012 which argue that states have nothing to do with the eligibility of presidential candidates.
“Presidential electors and Congress, not the state of Georgia, hold the constitutional responsibility for determining the qualifications of presidential candidates,” Obama’s lawyer argued in a motion to quash a subpoena for him to appear at the hearings in Atlanta Jan. 26.
“The election of President Obama by the presidential electors, confirmed by Congress, makes the documents and testimony sought by plaintiff irrelevant,” the lawyer said.
Judge Michael M. Malihi, however, took a different view.
“Defendant argues that ‘if enforced, [the subpoena] requires him to interrupt duties as president of the United States’ to attend a hearing in Atlanta, Georgia. However, defendant fails to provide any legal authority to support his motion to quash the subpoena to attend,” he wrote in his order, released today.
“Defendant’s motion suggests that no president should be compelled to attend a court hearing. This may be correct. But defendant has failed to enlighten the court with any legal authority,” the judge continued.
“Specifically, defendant has failed to cite to any legal authority evidencing why his attendance is ‘unreasonable or oppressive, or that the testimony … [is] irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a party’s preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced.’”

His parents were not married at the time of his birth?
1:14....I don't know; we're they married at the time of his birth?
Everyone knows Obama was not a natural born citizen of the United States. But nobody seemed to care during the election. He has always been an outsider. He hates America and wanted to change it to the way his thinks it should be. He also did many things quietly and under the table and in back rooms behind closed doors that we where never told about. In regards to making restorations for black people. He is a crook and has always been a crook. He needs to be impeached and any laws he signed should become null and void. He should have been thrown out of the 2008 elections because he didn't meet the qualifications for President.
Why doesn't the MSM even mention this stuff? I find this extreamly news worthy and it's a shame that the only place it is found is on blog sites. Even the conservative talk shows fail to even mention this kind of information.
No,Obama's parents were not married at the time of his birth, if it makes any difference. I thought it was common knowledge. His birth certificate, whether genuine or phony, indicates the parents were not married.
The President is above the law? That seems to be the argument. But, of course, no surprise. They ALL think they are above the law....
amen to 1:36. lets do the right thing this election
1:14....I don't know; we're they married at the time of his birth?

I don't know. I wasn't there. But the word is 'were' not we're.
Have a nice day.
I wonder were Obama is getting the money to pay for his lawyers I think I know it must be the taxpayer's money.
