No, Red, he didn’t screw up. The whole basis of Irion’s argument on the definition of NBC was based on the fact that Senior is listed on the Hawaiian BC as Junior’s father. He submitted the BC into evidence and pointed out that Senior was born in Kenya. Then he moved on to the immigration records to establish that Senior was not a U.S. citizen.
Irion could have presented other ways to the court about Obama’s claims his father was a Kenyan citizen without presenting that Internet picture.
Still, the judge should have accepted it as ‘limited evidence’ but by accepting the dubious BC as complete prima facie fact is disingenuous. We should all use .jpg images of our BCs the next time we go for a drivers license and see how far that gets us.
