TV news clips on Obama presidential eligibility hearing, January 26, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia.
At this hearing Plaintiffs presented evidence challenging Obama's eligibility to be a Presidential candidate on Georgia ballots because he is not a natural-born citizen. Thus he violates the US Constitution.
Instead of appearing at court, Obama's attorney wrote an inflammatory letter to Secretary of State demanding the Court be overruled. He claimed that that the Judge had allowed it to "run amok". The Secretary of State wrote back that failure to appear in Court will be "at your peril".
In fact Obama and his attorney were the parties who "run amok" by dishonoring the court by refusing to appear. The hearing was conducted without them.
By refusing to appear in court, Obama surrendered his rights to present a defense, and his attorney dishonored the Court. They can expect the Court to rule in favor of the plaintiffs. This is what the Georgia Secretary of State meant when he wrote to Obama that non-appearance would be "at your peril".
