Think like a lawyer for a moment, Windy. You’re a lawyer who goes into politics and the time is ripe for you to strike upward and highward. The problem is this one little eentsy weentsy constitutional requirement. So you try your best to get something that will pass and hope it won’t draw any interest. OOPS, it draws interest. So you do what you can to misdirect, ahem — AVOID DISCOVERY, play the race card, play whatever cards you have other than produce the longform BC. When the whole thing becomes a scandal, your plan was that you’d hoped it would be in your second term or at least late enough so people got used to you being president and too late to undo what you’d done. Then your plan is to say, “gosh, golly, gee sorry”, cry like Dick Nixon in his Checkers speech, and hope that congress doesn’t impeach you, which they won’t. It was all just an honest mistake, can’t we work somethin’ out? That’s probably zer0bama’s plan. For it to work he needs to drag out discovery and everything else for as long as he can. Where he screwed up was in backing down on Major Cooke. He shoulda just let him file his lawsuit, ignore it, let it even go into later phases with no comment and then start hemming & hawing about what a waste of time this is, put Cooke in jail and run criminal desertion charges against him. Let that trial go on and on and on & on... bleh bleh bleh, even I’m losing interest as I WRIte this strategy, how long before the MSM forgets who Cooke was? That was Obama’s misstep and we get to capitalize on it.
