A basic tenant of our Judicial system is the accused has a right to confront the accuser. In a civil suit, a witness is needed to present evidence and opposing counsel has the right to cross-examine the witness to impeach the evidence, i.e. How did you obtain this evidence? Who has handled this evidence since you obtained it?
After a witness is examined and then cross-examined by an opposing counsel, the attorney who called the witness may ask the court permission for redirect examination (ask the witness follow up questions after cross-examination.)
In the post-Obama presidency, the rules have changed. Obama can submit evidence through his attorney without appearing in Court to answer questions about how it was obtained or chain of custody issues. If the opposing counsel sees an anomaly in the certified COLB which serves a prima facie evidence, then too bad. What if the COLB was mailed and it arrived in an unsealed envelope? What if the raised seal was created by a coin pulled out of Rahm Emmanual’s pocket?
Relax, butter. Obots are playing word games to excuse the Candidate Obama’s behavior. For example, the President has sovereign immunity for acts committed as his official duties. The candidate is the President, so the candidate has sovereign immunity. Baloney. Running for office is not an official duty of the President. Candidate Obama is subject to examination at an eligibility hearing. If he doesn’t want to be examined at an eligibility hearing, then he has the option of withdrawing from the race.
Each state is a separate case. Some states are more strict than others. And the general election is separate from the primaries in that the National DNC chairman certifies the Democratic candidate in each state for the general election; while the state DNC chairman certifies the Democratic candidate for the primary in their state.
Well B,
Perhaps ask the same questions of LL and then on the 27th you’ll know who gave you information you could trust.
Of course, it’s your call.
I hope you’ve been well.
Does anybody know how much time I’d have to get an amicus brief filed? Would it have to be filed by Thursday?
