“If they did not bother discerning whether 0 met Natural Born Citizen, and discovery is made that he is NOT NBC, then suit could be made that all 50 states election certifications are null and void. No?”
I meant something somewhat different. Once a trial is coming, typical the litigants can use the subpoena power of the Court to force other people to produce documets—eg the judge could order actual birth certificate held by the State of HW be produced to the plaintiff. Similarly, hospital records from Hawaii. It could order depositions of Kenyan’s who claim to have knowledge of BO’s birth there etc etc.
All that can be evidence at trial, if it is permitted. So when I ask what “discovery” is permitted, I meant what documents is the Court going to let the plaintiff get to and whose depo can he take before trial.
I some instasnces the Judge might accede to view teh documents first and decide at that point whther to allow Orly t see them or make a ruling as to admissibility. The truth would be out.
The only thing now in teh way is Obama’s first Executive Order as President which was to order all his personal papers sealed from being viewed by anyone.
