With all due respect I don’t think you have any understanding whatsoever of the legal system and how it is supposed to operate in theory based on the Constituiiton and a long tradition stretching back into the common law of England. That’s what your remarks indicate. In particular you don’t seem to have a clue what evidence is in the courts and how it is supposed to be developed based on what.
You certainly have no clue as to what the Supreme Court has said based on what the man presently occupying the Whate House himself has said on the public record throughout his political career. But you are certainly entitled to your opinions and your ignorance.

Legally, evidence is the COLB. PERIOD. Like it, don’t like it, suspicious about it, not satisfied by it -—whatever. It doesn’t matter because it is EVIDENCE. It says so on the face of it. It is issued by a lawful authority.

Unless somebody has something other than suspicions and curiosities, the birthers have no EVIDENCE. It is that simple.

Get sworn affidavits by people who saw him born in Kenya. That would be EVIDENCE. Show that the person who issued the COLB in Hawaii got 1 million dollar deposit into her bank account. That would be EVIDENCE. Whatever EVIDENCE you can gather goes into a pot to be weighed against the EVIDENCE presented by BO.

You will hear this referred to as the weight of the EVIDENCE.

The birther problem is that you have no EVIDENCE. Period.

Your respect for the law should start with the realization that courts work off something called EVIDENCE. Not suspicion, doubt, or uncertainties. This is a real good system. When or if the birthers ever get some EVIDENCE, then they can come to court and play with the grown ups.

Personally, I have yet to see anything that constitutes EVIDENCE on the birther side. If you guys are right, you might want to direct your attention towards getting EVIDENCE. Or, you can act like the liberals, smear people, run around in hysterics, make up stuff as it suits your cause, etc.

parsy, who chooses to not act like a liberal.
