Tell that to Alan Keyes.
is that it costs more to have 3 law firms working for you than it does to send a copy of a birth certificate,
Not if those lawfirms are working for you anyway. Ever heard of a retainer?
which would start to resolve the entire situation.Do you dispute that?
Yes. If he had sent the birth certificate to the court, it would have to be accompanied by a brief, so lawyers are already involved no matter what. By sending that brief, his legal team would be admitting that the plaintiffs have standing. That, in turn, would open the door for the plaintiffs to start challanging the authenticity of the birth certificate and could potentially tie him up in legal battles for months.
From a pure legal strategy, it is a far to get the court to deny the plaintiffs standing, which resloves the entire situation in one stroke without necessitating any further briefs. To date, as far as I am aware, his legal team has had to file exactly one brief to be rid of this nonsense.
What were the statutes in 1961, if you think that was 1982 or have changed since 1961?
The statute in question is here:
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol06_Ch0321-0344/HRS0338/HRS_0338-0017_0008.htm
The history of all statutes, including their amendments, are in brackets at the end of the statute. In this case it is:
L 1982, c 182, §1
Which means legislated in 1982. If a similar statute existed before, then there would be a history indicated in the brackets, with amendments listed afterwards. As, for example, in this statute:
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol06_Ch0321-0344/HRS0338/HRS_0338-0017_0007.htm
There is a difference in the amount of information between the two documents,
Yes, but the information that's missing from the short form is not relevant to his eligibility.
nor does it show if the birth was out of state,
Are you blind? The short form clearly shows PLACE OF BIRTH.
Like I said, how can you refute dollar amounts without the bills...
You have evidence of Obama having the philadelphia law firm on retainer then? Read the work put into the documents?
How much would it cost to verify the authenticity of documents, which, by the way, is a speculative action...
The nonsense is not showing your birth certificate when you’re running for president if there are any doubts.
You still haven’t shown me what statutes covered the 1960’s that would definitively prove what you infer. They might be on that link, I don’t remember at this point. 338-17 or 14 or something. Doesn’t matter, just show me what was in effect at the time, and how that means he could not possibly be born out of state...
No, I’m not blind, but apparently you’re naive and deliberately skipping over the potential revisions I pointed out...
