Obama and The State of Georgia

[ElNono]

Judging my history of posting here on SpursTalk it is obvious I am not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but wasn't Obama born in the United States?

Why did this case even get to a trial?

It's not a trial, it's a hearing. The Judge has no say on the outcome. He can only suggest a course of action but the decision is made elsewhere (nowhere in this case)

This is an actual court case

It's not. It's a hearing. The Judge can't rule on Obama's eligibility.
