The lame-stream media just shrugs and walks away. (Does the media genuflect or simply bow when in the presence of "The One"?)

Even Nixon, as pointed out in this report, fought the judiciary but didn't hold it in contempt, as this President has done.

This is an impeachable offense.

Wow, that is really something shocking! A Georgia court wants the President of the USA to testify and he doesn't show up! Gosh-a-rootie, Georgia might secede from the Union again over this'n goldurn insult to it's dignity by an uppity Yankee impersonator to the Presidency.

Seriously, though, Richie and Katz, if the issue on the table is that Obama is not a natural born citizen because his father was not a citizen, where does that leave Marco Rubio if he should want to run for Pres. or VP?

THE ISSUE IS the President has ignored and shown contempt of court in refusing to address a legally issued subpoena which compels a response BY LAW.

The President by virtue of his office is not granted immunity from such a writ.

STICK WITH THE ISSUE AT HAND AND STOP DEFLECTING.

Even you surely must know that legal proceeding is absurd and laughable.

The President's legal team has shown contempt to a person who has had apparently numerous cases thrown out of court for filing "frivolous lawsuits".

I'm surprised you're not complaining about this being a waste of taxpayer money by the complainant.

The South will rise again against them dadburn Yankee impersonaters and them lawyer fellers. We'uns in Georgia know whut is right - and far right, too.

Regardless of how you feel about the lawsuit or the subpoena, it is a writ that the President has to address by the power of the law. THE LAW!!!

So you're all admitting and accepting of the fact that the President has now elevated himself to one who is not bound by our nation's laws?

(DJ, after you admit that I am right about the crux of this issue we can discuss what constitutes wasted tax money.)

For 3 people who have shown some intelligence in the past, do you really want to take that position?

This is a precedent that Richard Nixon and William Jefferson Clinton would have loved to use.

That's what his "legal team" is for....to attend the proceedings and represent him if he's not going.

It's not the job of the defendant nor his lawyers to decide whether it is a valid or "frivolous" charge and proceeding.

This behavior of not even sending a rookie lawyer to attend or address the court reeks of disrespect and disdain for the court.

Disrespect and disdain for ANYONE coming from a President shows how he regards those who hired and pay him.

yes, yes, yes, yes........

Richie: One thing I'd ask before all this - and I can't seem to quickly find an unbiased article summarizing things...

How was the subpeona served? Who actually received it?

I find it hard to believe that Obama himself would have know about this - President of the United States tend to be busy men.

But as one other pointed out - that's what legal teams are for - to do all the low-level stuff that comes with the territory of being President.

To use a thin analogy - I can serve my deadbeat tenants by placing the notices on the door - but they can still claim they never saw it. That's why one tends to use the local County Sheriff's office to do that sort of thing - to show proof of the attempt at least.

So who knew about he subpoena and (evidently) ignored it? Who served it and how? That might explain a lot and put egg on SOMEONE's face (probably the President's legal team or other advisors)

Let me think about this. Do I want the President chasing around the country responding to every crackpot lawsuit that's filed against him, or do I want him in the war room trying to figure out this threat by Israel to bomb Iran? Can't decide.

Oily Taitz is called the queen bee of the birthers. She was fined $20,000 for frivelous lawsuits. She is a nutjob to say the least.

The hearing went on without President Obama. No problem. What will the judge decide? Makes no difference as the Georgia Secretary of State (Kemp) will make the final decision.

At any rate, the final decision is Kemp's. Regardless of what Malihi recommends, Kemp does not want to become the Republican secretary of state who ruled Barack Obama off the ballot in Georgia. Becoming a birther hero would not begin to compensate for the lasting infamy such a step would bring him, especially because such a ruling would be challenged in state or federal court and almost immediately overturned on any number of reasons. Kemp would then look like a fool and put an end to any further political ambitions he might have. I doubt that’s the course he will choose to take.

President Obama has better things to do than deal with Oily Taitz and her ilk.

Again, that is what his team of lawyers is paid to do. Nobody is above the law. If a president were allowed to be above the law, then we'd be under a dictatorship.

But then, dictatorship is what many on the left want in the first place.

Hit them long, straight, and not too often.
