RE: Georgia Presidential Preference Primary Hearings
Dear Mr. Jablonski:
I received your letter expressing your concerns with the manner in which the Office of State Administrative Hearings (“OSAH”) has handled the candidate challenges involving your client and advising me that you and your client will “suspend” participation in the administrative proceeding. While I regret that you do not feel that the proceedings are appropriate, my referral of this matter to an administrative law judge at OSAH was in keeping with Georgia law, and specifically O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5.
As you are aware, OSAH Rule 616-1-2-.17 cited in your letter only applies to parties to a hearing. As the referring agency, the Secretary of State’s Office is not a party to the candidate challenge hearings scheduled for tomorrow. To the extent a request to withdraw the case referral is procedurally available, I do not believe such a request would be judicious given the hearing is set for tomorrow morning.
In following the procedures set forth in the Georgia Election Code, I expect the administrative law judge to report his findings to me after his full consideration of the evidence and law. Upon receipt of the report, I will fully and fairly review the entire record and initial decision of the administrative law judge. Anything you and your client place in the record in response to the challenge will be beneficial to my review of the initial decision; however, if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.
I certainly appreciate you contacting me about your concerns, and thank you for your attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Brian P. Kemp
Georgia Secretary of State
UPDATE 1/25/12 - Obama's lawyers wrote the Georgia Attorney General asking him to take the case away from the Judge who subpoenaed Obama to be in court there tomorrow. They want the AG to have the case dropped. Letter is on Orly Taitz site.
____________________________________________________________________________
One Judge in the states has balls. Even though Obama's attorneys tried to get this case dismissed and then tried to get the subpoena dismissed for him to show up to court in Georgia, the Judge held his ground and said "No."
Obama has been ordered to show up to court in Georgia to answer the case filed against him for not being a "Natural Born Citizen" and having a fake birth certificate.
A judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court in Atlanta for a hearing on a complaint that says Obama isn't a natural-born citizen and can't be president.
It's one of many such lawsuits that have been filed across the country, so far without success. A Georgia resident made the complaint, which is intended to keep Obama's name off the state's ballot in the March presidential primary.
An Obama campaign aide says any attempt to involve the president personally will fail and such complaints around the country have no merit.
The hearing is set for Thursday before an administrative judge. Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi on Friday denied a motion by the president's lawyer to quash a subpoena that requires Obama to show up.
Orly Taitz is the person behind the Birther Push and has been determined to prove Obama is not a Natural Born citizen and his released birth certificate is a fake.
Local news in Atlanta - about Obama being ordered to show up
From what I can gather, Obama will ignore the subpoena to show up to court.
