Such objection filings go to the Secretary of State who makes a determination to either overrule or pass them along to the State Administrative Court for disposition.
Michael Malihi was the Administrative Judge to whom a number of these objections were directed by the Secretary and he found them worthy of pursuing in court.
The dozens of similar suits questioning Obama’s eligibility, filed in other venues around the nation were dismissed because the plaintiffs “lacked standing”—that is, were unable to prove direct, personal damage if Obama were to be permitted to remain in or run again for the office he holds.
But Georgia law trumped that defense, throwing Obama and Jablonski into uncharted waters. And forced to follow the new tack of actually having to lawfully and properly PROVE Obama’s eligibility, in the weeks since the original filing, Jablonski had pretty much emptied his quiver on behalf of the acting president.
On January 3rd his motion for an outright dismissal of the lawsuits was denied by Judge Malihi.
And on Friday the 20th, his motion to quash subpoenas..."
