I wasn’t hiding behind anyone. I didn’t introduce a phantom expert. I didn’t back out of any statement I made.
I was asked why not just produce the birth certificate. I said I had the same question myself and so asked a lawyer who told me that one has to provide a defense or be subject to a default judgment. I didn’t offer his opinion as expert testimony.
patlin implied that I had asked a liberal lawyer who would agree with me. I responded that the attorney was not liberal that he was a federal judge in Dallas who was very conservative.
patlin wanted a name, which I refused to provide as it would put that federal judge in the middle of the birther controversy and although I didn’t say it, it would also cause problems between my mother and her judge whom she has worked for for 30+ years.
That judge’s opinion is hardly expert testimony. It’s commone sense and can be demonstrated by the simple act of not responding to a speeding ticket.
Your accusation is unwarranted.

And you wonder why people have a problem with your answer? Who'd you really ask? How do we know if you really did? See the problem?
