Numerous individuals have already petitioned judges to supoena Obama's original birth certification, but all have been denied. A judge will not grant a subpoena to allow anyone to see individually identifiable information unless that individual is a direct family member, has power of attorney, or a direct, tangible reason for obtaining it.
Here’s point 9 from the Hawaii statute on who can gain access to a vital record under the confidentiality exceptions to the vital records law; and I quote directly from the statute: “A person whose right to inspect or obtain a certified copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction;”
The Republican Attorney General of the State of Hawaii, Mark J. Bennett would qualify as a person whose right inspect or obtain the original document could be established by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Prosecuting attorneys convene Grand Juries to go on legal “fishing expeditions” all the time to determine whether or not a crime has been committed. In this case the fishing expedition would be to see if Obama’s short form Certification of Live Birth is forged or fraudulent.
If everything is on the up and up, no harm, no foul. Barack Obama gets an apology from the Attorney General’s office and life moves forward.
