Abercrombie is stepping out. He can’t find the certificate and resorted to the old privacy excuse.

---

Hawaii privacy statutes allow a birth record to be released to “a person whose right to inspect or obtain a certified copy of the record is established by an order of a court of compentent jurisdiction.”

That’s the same privacy excuse that the previous Republican administration in Hawaii used.

“For more than a year, the Department of Health has continued to receive approximately 50 e-mail inquiries a month seeking access to President Barack Obama’s birth certificate in spite of the fact that President Obama has posted a copy of the certificate on his former campaign website. Hawaii is a “closed records” state, meaning that vital records are available only to those with a direct and tangible interest as defined by statute; hence, they are not subject to disclosure under public records requests.”
—Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director, Hawaii Department of Health in sworn testimony before the Hawaii Senate Committee on the Judiciary and Government Operations, January 22, 2010.

This is where I am losing the trail. The Laws of Hawaii mandate that any documentation used by an official in reaching a decision, or taking an action, is to be made available to ANY CITIZEN who asks.

Fukino announced to the world that Obama was "A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, and born in Hawaii," and that she had seen the documentation.

According to the way I read the Information Statute, that makes all of the documentation available upon request.
