The Judge in Georgia has NOT ordered President Obama to appear in court

K & R.

Unless the signature is forged.

Or if the judge DID sign a blank subpoena, s/he would be facing sanctions, perhaps impeachment.

particularly in Administrative Law cases. It depends on the size of the court and depends on the conduct of attorneys as Officers of the Court to not abuse it - as has clearly been done here.

Doesn't sound egzackly legal.

under stalking and/or harassment laws?
Pres Obama Has provided anything and Everything any other person would/could/should have to Prove his birth was in fact IN the US.

This is Well "beyond the beyond" at this point.

Sorry to pimp my own blog, but here is some useful information in responding to this insanity around the Internets.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.

Very clever!

Thanks for the link to your blog.

Judges have no authority to order the President to appear in a court. Only Congress has the right to impeach the President.

The Supreme Court in Clinton v. Jones ruled that a person can bring a civil law suit against a sitting president for acts prior to his taking office and does not interfere with his duties as president. The Court ruled 9-0 that such a suit could go forward. Consistent with that, there is no legal problem with sending a subpoena to the president in this matter. Impeachment and suing are separate things. Was the Supreme Court wrong-headed and stupid when it did that? Sure as hell was. Is that the law of the land? Sure as hell is.

Who can actually sign a subpoena has always struck me as a weird thing. I, as an attorney in New York, can sign a subpoena compelling someone's testimony...without judicial approval. That always struck me (and continues to strike me) as odd. There is nothing against a general authority to subpoena the President (given the decision surrounding the Jones decision). However, is that a dumb decision? Yeah...I think a person should have to wait until a president leaves office to bring a civil suit. As we saw with the Paula Jones debacle, it's too damn distracting. This Orly Taitz crap seems worse.

Here's a wiki-blurb on the subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_v._Jones

I wasn't thinking about civil actions.

you have to wonder where they were living to make such statements.

The judge does however have the authority to uphold and enforce Georgia state voter law, which he IS doing. No suit has been brought, this is simply a Georgia man exercising his right to verify a candidates eligibility before he goes on the ballot. The judge has merely upheld the law, and denied the attempts made by Obama's lawyers to have the case thrown out. Simple as that.
