Judge: Obama eligible to be Georgia candidate

A state administrative law judge on Friday found that President Barack Obama is eligible to be a candidate in the upcoming Georgia primaries.


This is the latest birther nonsense from Georgia

crazy people don't stop doing something repeatedly even though they get the same result.

Wow. That was my 20,000th post in 11 years of DU.

I don't understand how some people can get 35K posts in a couple of years. Took me 11 to get 20K. I'm not a prolific poster as I do spend my time doing other things!

10. Her response, on her website: “It looks like Obama regime got to another judge.”

It wasn't easy to find this comment without visiting her website. I won't go there, partly because it was infested with viruses awhile back and for all I know it still is. The press seems to be ignoring her for now but I never tire of her antics.

A familiar pattern. Orly preemptively declares victory, but gets soundly smacked down. Orly defames the judge for not ruling in her favor.

This public slander might get her another fine for attorney misconduct, as in Rhodes v. MacDonald. I hope she keeps it up.

14. Sadly, the CA bar association doesn't seem to be interested in Orly

The CA bar only appears interested in those cases where money has changed hands, and where the actions of the attorney has inflicted serious hurt on the client. Orly mostly representing herself and in the odd case where she's representing someone else, it's usually one of her followers who have signed on to let her represent them in their state. So once they lose and get sanctioned, those clients usually agree with her, that the courts have been corrupted, and that it's nothing to do with Orly's actions.

I can only recall one case, where one of her clients submitted a formal complaint, stating that Orly had kept a case alive, by repeatedly appealing a lost case, against both the wishes and the knowledge of said client. Somehow she managed to ride it off.

Since then, she has been breaking the rules left, right, and centre, complete with documentation to prove it, but the CA bar association seem to just not care.

It doesn't do much good when they can just keep on suing.

12. Not so sure I think of this as a "win" when time and money is wasted....

When you have to expend time, money, and effort defending yourself against totally ridiculous claims even when you "win" you lose. Whoever started this frivolous, obscene bullshit needs to be made to pay for the cost of defending against it.

Especially as GA has already seen one Superior court rule that the parties' PPP elections are off limits for these kind of cases.

As I said before on this subject, a state administrative law judge can't order a ham sandwich.

They cannot change or violate any federal statute, and if this one had tried by leveraging state election statutes over federal ones, she would have been waiting for the Feds to knock on her office door within a week.
