Sorry, whats-his-diddle, reminded me abut the rest of your question.
Maybe. Maybe not. IMHO. First, there is doubt the images would even be introduced into evidence and accepted. Any hearing related to Obama being born in Hawaii, would probably be determined prior to a hearing. Obama would introduce a certified copy of the COLB, an affidavit or two, and a Motion for Summary Judgement. You probably get a slam dunk at this point and Orly Taitz goes and files a lawsuit against the judge and some stranger over at the coffee shop.
But assume it goes to trial. Certified COLB gets introduced by Hawaiian registrar. Now the Plaintiff has to have a reason to introduce and use the allegedly phony internet copy. I’m not sure what the reason would be. What is the basis for the Plaintiff to introduce the allegedly phony internet copy?
parsy, who is LOST and can’t figure out a good reason to introduce and enter the phony COLB internet copy and wishes he had help trying to answer this burning question (wink, wink)
If the DC Judge Accepted that Orly's threatened $20,000 sanctioning makes her an interested party, a stretch perhaps, then in theory there could be a trial.
Taitz actually filed a Q.W. case recently in DC.
If Obama had a problem-free COLB certified copy potentially available, why not just use that in 2008 before the election and avoid all the hassle?
Complexity is usually avoided in campaigns because it makes things unpredictable, a calculated risk is taken sometimes, but the law is just too unreliable.
When Polarik rang Hawaii DOH and asked if they produced the Obama COLB posted by fact-check, Onaka {Hawaii DOH Registrar} would not confirm or deny it. I think Polarik’s ruse of pretending to be a family tree researcher was a not exactly fair play - but what else could he do?
I don't know what Obama is keeping close to his chest, but logically its politically embarrassing or perhaps even dangerous to him - that's my best guess.
The Judge in the Taitz DC Q.W. case, Royce C. Lamberth, is the same guy in the long running US Gov v Indian nations lawsuits [the parties actual specific names escape my memory tonight, sorry, but the case was to do with a century of corruption by the Gov. Trust running access to mineral rights on Indian land].
The Obama Administration settled those claims with a multi-billion dollar payout to the Indian plaintiffs recently. [actually justifed IMHO]. The timing was interesting, but the outcome was not that big a surprise.
I am surprised that no judge noticed that Obama has not yet provided a Hawaii backed certified COLB. An image on a website is nothing legally, as I a layperson understand it.
