“Suppose all of what the writer says is true, including the efforts to produce a visibly satisfying birth certificate. Who or what could stop them?”
A press that demanded the actual physical document be scrutinized by independent experts as to its authenticity.
Oops, sorry, I forgot.
We’ll know whether it’s a fake or not by how it’s presented. If it’s another internet image and not the actual physical certificate itself available for examination, one can only conclude it’s another fake.
There's also the school records, but those could easily be changed. Plenty of people could have seen the original school stuff, but what are the chances any individual is going to go against the Chicago/ACORN machine and talk about it? Just look at his friends and mentors...most people aren't going to want that bunch after them. Even if they didn't have the power of the presidency backing them up.
We have a long way to go before an election could change the balance. In the mean time, if this were a jury trial, I couldn't be on the jury as I've already decided he's guilty.
