From SPLC:

A Georgia administrative law judge has left in place a subpoena directing President Obama to appear at a hearing on Thursday regarding a “birther” complaint challenging the president’s eligibility for office.

Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi issued his decision Friday, writing that the president’s legal team “failed to enlighten the court with any legal authority” to back up its argument that no U.S. president should be compelled to attend a court hearing. They also failed to prove that attending the hearing would be “unreasonable and oppressive” and that the president’s testimony would be “irrelevant, immaterial or cumulative,” he wrote.

Orly Taitz, who filed one of the complaints and has for years led the farcical battle to prove that the president is constitutionally unqualified for office, called Malihi’s decision a “major victory.”

    When this is proven AGAIN to be the nonsense we all know that it is, that man who filed the complaint should recieve a BILL for the cost of the President’s trip to handle that nonsense, in addition to the cost of the Secret Service protection and increased police presence that will be necessary to ensure the President’s safety…utter NONSENSE!

    Yet another criminalizing narrative about POTUS.  I’m not surprised, but my disgust knows no bounds.  Expect criminalizing narratives about President Obama to continually surge as we move toward the GE.
