It’s not going to happen, but it’s just so much wasted time and money. Asshats. And what kind of balls do you have to have to order a sitting President to appear before some low level court? h/t @gracels.

ATLANTA — 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.

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.

    Have any of the current crop of presidential hopefuls submitted their ORIGINAL long-form birth certificates?

    Let it happen.  It’ll just tick off anyone with half a brain, and Georgia will never be won by Obama anyway unless it doesn’t matter anyway.

    Clearly, he knows the Constitution better than the Supreme Court or Congress.

    Also, it’s easy to have balls when the voters and/or legislature in your jurisdiction wouldn’t do the appropriate thing and kick your ass off the bench for pulling lame stunts like this.
