The OTHER part of my post suggested that a federal court should require production of the birth certificate, in camera, with representatives of both sides present with experts able to verify its authenticity. That would close the question once and for all. Spending a million dollars to keep it under wraps does nothing to end the controversy.
The court could enforce a very stringent gag order of the parties who would view the bc. I.e., the parties and experts could merely view it, and verify its authenticity. There would be no information revealed about the parents’ marital status, the father listed on the cert, none of that information. It could be done in HI at the place where such records are archived and protected.
The court could then issue an opinion, and let the public know if it is or is not an authentic certificate of birth in HI. Very simple, really.
You said — Spending a million dollars to keep it under wraps does nothing to end the controversy.

Well..., what I’m suspecting here, is that the leftists really don’t want to end the controversy and figure that they’re getting more political mileage out of this whole issue than they would if they ended it...
That seems to be the goal here, especially with the large volume of articles by the leftists about the birth certificate issue. They seem to be happy to paint conservatives who are hammering away on this issue as kooks and nuts and so on. And also, they seem to want to paint other conservatives (even those who are not taking up this issue) in the same light — which seems to be an attempt at marginalizing all conservatives...
I think it’s a ploy by the leftists, actually...
