To put it as simply as I can, if this Obama eligibility case were ever to be heard on the merits, Obama would begin with the presumption that he is eligible to be president. It's entirely up to the plaintiff to prove that he isn't.

It appears that the courts are probably not going to entertain Obama's eligibility at this time without any other concrete evidence besides the common knowledge of Obama once holding a foreign citizenship and having a foreigner as a father. It becomes apparent to search documents for evidence that Obama controls access to that are held by various government agencies. If you were the plaintiff's lawyer, how would you convince a presiding judge to grant you motion for general discovery? Any ideas?

You should read my post to El Gato at 377, just above, it touches on your question a bit.

The Captain's case notwithstanding, I think it becomes a question for the court of "what's next". Even if the plaintiff can prove their case, how does the court provide relief to the plaintiff? Without an answer to that question, I don't see how the court would entertain such a case.
