There is no question that the government is fully capable of committing crimes and doing so for a variety of motivations. It seems to me that we would have to inquire what the motivations of the officials of Hawaii to further such a conspiracy might be. Certainly they would not be directly advanced politically nor would they be directly advanced financially in any way that is now known to us. They might, however, be subject to downside pressures on their jobs and associations. Most likely, their motivation, if it exists, would be a desire to support the first black president because they too are people of color mutually supporting each other in a very diverse state.
Yet, at some point we have to have actual evidence. We have to confirm it, that is prove, as an absolutely indispensable first step that the last certificate is in fact a counterfeit. If that is done I think a conspiracy would disintegrate because it will be exposed to the light of intense public scrutiny.
Recent history demonstrates with absolute clarity that this matter will only be moved forward by the presentation of the most compelling hard evidence. The resistance in the media, indeed the resistance on the part of Republican politicians, will only be overcome by hard evidence. I am mindful of Watergate in which the defense infrastructure which protected Nixon only came to an end with the revelations in the tapes. Even DNA proving perjury was not enough to get rid of Clinton.
How much more will it take to get rid of the historic first African-American president. Therefore, all of this talk about conspiracy and the document that was presented today showing some Kenyan came to America at a critical time, does not advance the matter toward a political solution very far at all. Equally, the courts are reluctant to touch this because they are wary of intruding into "political" questions so they dodge the matter by finding there is no standing.
Both the political and the legal frustrations will continue until hard evidence is produced and all the speculation about conspiracy theories will avail nothing.
