“Actually, it costs $20. Alot cheaper than the army of lawyers Obama is paying to fight all attempts to release his birth certificate”
That’s why I found this quote from one of the documents Andy cited above very interesting:
“Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 establishes that the
signature of an attorney or party on a document filed with the court constitutes a certification that the signer has read the document, that the signer has conducted “reasonable inquiry” to ensure that the document is well grounded in fact and warranted by existing law (or a good faith argument for the modification of such law), and that the document is not being filed for any improper purpose, “such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation.” Fed. R.
Civ. P. 11(b). If a court finds that Rule 11 has been violated, the imposition of sanctions is mandatory. See Ross v. Jolly, 151 F.R.D. 562, 567 (E.D. Pa. 1993) (citing Project 74 Allentown, Inc. v. Frost, 143 F.R.D. 77, 83 (E.D. Pa. 1992), aff’d w/out opinion, 998 F.2d 1004 (3rd Cir. 1993)).

Isn’t fighting the request rather than simply providing the requested document a pretty clear case of “needless increase in the cost of litigation”? If Obama’s lawyers ever actually appear before a judge, how do they explain/rationalize their behavior? Obama’s a millionaire, so maybe he doesn’t care—especially if campaign funds are being used—but doesn’t every single filing and court document/ruling ultimately cost taxpayers real money? The courts shouldn’t be used to play kindergarten games (”You can’t catch me, nanny nanny boo boo”)
All of his documents are sealed. School docs are sealed and they probably show country of birth is Kenya.
O used his goons and the Tribune newspaper to unsealed the divorce of Paul Ryan to smear him. The ex-Mrs. Ryan asked the court to keep the documents sealed. He knows this game.
