Then Orly should have the most successful law practice in California.
And perhaps, from her point of view, she does. Depends on what one wants out of life. If she wants to give good legal advice to her clients, and either win, if it comes to litigation, or do everything ethically possible to give her client the best chance of winning, then Orly is an unmitigated failure.
If, on the other hand, what she wants out of life is a small, but devoted, band of snarling followers, whom she deludes into thinking that her farcical publicity stunts are actually brave feats of litigation, which fail due to the machinations of a shadowy conspiracy, and not because she is attempting the impossible, in a grossly incompetent manner, then Orly has a very successful practice.
Mr. Pilsner.
As you are an attorney, I assume you know something about adoption? Perhaps you’ve never been involved with one, but I would think that you should still know something of this section of law.
*I* am adopted. I have an ORIGINAL birth certificate that states all the particulars of my birth, and I have a replacement birth certificate created 6 years later that contains information which is mostly not true. (And yet it has the same doctor’s signature as the original. How do you suppose they did that?)
For all intents and purposes, the state regards me as having been born under the name I now have. That this is legally so is apparent. However it is not ACTUALLY so.
All the evidence that I have seen regarding Obama tends to indicate that he was adopted at least once, and possibly even twice. (First by Lolo Soetoro, Second by his Grandparents.)
With all of this in mind, do you not think it is not only reasonable that the American Public should know the particulars of such a history regarding Mr. Obama, but beyond that it is in fact a DUTY to know of these things?
