“Simply presenting the document would meet the “prima facie” standard, and the case would be closed with no further investigation.”

You are the one who wrote the above: starting with the word — “simple!”
Now you inform us that:
“Not a single Birther case (with perhaps the exception of Martin v. Lingle) would have ended if Obama presented his BC.... even if it was the long form.”
Your two statements appear to contradict one another.
It’s OK... I’ll let it ride.
I understand (and understood when I posted to you) that no court has requested Obama’s birth certificate.
My question was: why doesn’t he just go ahead and submit the dam thing?
Your answer is (to date) no court of law has “asked” him to submit a hard copy of his birth certificate.
That’s fine and dandy.
The WHOLE idea of many of these lawsuits is to get a court to “ask him” to submit to discovery of some sort — including his birth certificate and other vital records.
You wouldn’t be related to captain obvious would you?
It’s like when someone takes the fifth amendment... we all know that he or she has every right to not participate in his or her own incrimination.
Still there is the court of public opinion.
One cannot help but wonder what he or she could be hiding that he or she fears could incriminate him or her?
By the same token it appears, to a large swath of the public, that Obama is doing a lot of bobbing and weaving for someone that has nothing to hide.
We can argue till the cows come home... but the public perception is GROWING that obama is, in fact, hiding something — perhaps something damming.
If a court of law doesn’t take him out... the “court” of public opinion most certainly will!
