I’m also a bit tired of electoral politics having to go through judges. There was a time when the winner won, the loser lost ... and the judges stayed home.
Its better if we don’t set the precedent of having judges “qualify” presidential candidates ... lest we have to defend ourselves before the 9th circuit circus because of random rumors.

It is not a trivial matter. IT is the constitution we are talking about, and a potential effort to subvert it.
It would be exceedingly easy for Obama, were he a US citizen, is to provide to the media a certified copy of his birth certificate, as John McCain did. Costs $20. Instead, he gives a uncertified COLB jpg to Daily KOS & his buddies at Factcheck.
IT is not a major inconvenience for Obama to prove natural born citizenship, and unlike the Obama lawyers’ claims, should not give his client “great embarrassment”. Hopefully, one of the other 8 lawsuits will find a judge who agrees.
Random rumors?
Barack hasn’t produced a viable birth certificate, as of 7:21 pm AUSTIN time.
Why is he dragging this through the courts? Hmm?
And as far as the FAX transmission delay, yes it is meaningless that one took much longer than the other. Endless variables can cause that from a poor phone line to a crappy fax machine on either end, or even a feeder paper jam.
