I believe the disclosure of the official custodian of the original record. I just don't believe your characterization of it.
As far as the rule of law goes, I'm with you on the crap like the IRS scandal and the Department of Justice scandal and the NSA scandal. Believe me, I'm with you. If I were in Congress and could do it, I would probably vote to impeach this son of a bitch.
On the other hand, I have seen birthers clamoring as hard as they can for us to set aside the legitimate Constitution of this country and the legitimate laws of this country and reinterpret our Constitution and laws in ways that the Founding Fathers NEVER intended. And anyone who stands in the way of their savaging our Constitution and the rule of law and the real intentions of our Founders is a "traitor" who some of these idiots would literally execute if they could.
So don't talk to me so much about the rule of law. When birthers start respecting it, then maybe we can have that conversation.
Why did Onaka not verify the date of birth? Why did he not verify the mother and father? Why did he not verify the gender? Why did he not verify the island of birth?
The statute says he SHALL verify the submitted facts upon request. That is imperative. Why wouldn’t he?
