Folks, I rest my case. Would you want your case judged by a fool who thinks convicted and paid felons are credible? I've enjoyed Free Republic because we, for the most part, tend not to make sh*t up. For years this has been known as the smart conservative site. Let's keep it that way!
"Convicted and paid felons" are often credible. Indeed, their testimony has ofen been vital to convict organized crime figures. Just look at John Gotti, who was sent away by the testimony of "Sammy the Bull" Gravano.
That document would be one piece of evidence, not the sole evidence one way or another. It need only create sufficient doubt as to the final outcome to trigger "discovery", which would include provision of certified copies of the "birth documents" that the Hawaii Health Statistics department says they have.

You dipstick....you totally missed the point. Judges routinely grant police search warrants based upon the tip from a “paid” informant - many of which are convicted felons or petty criminals. My point was that since this is routine for search warrants in CRIMINAL proceedings, I don’t see that a person who bribed a foreign official to obtain a document is ANY less credible than a paid informant. If the police can do it, then why cannot others?
I made NO value judgements about using paid informants being credible except to say that a person that bribes foreign officials is no less credible.
Should a judge admit this type of evidence on POTUS Obama.......I don’t really know. I just don’t see it as any more “tainted” than that routinely obtained by police in our own country through paid informants.
Personally, I doubt the latest BC is legit. However, I want the case to go forward and for POTUS Obama to be subject to the SAME scrutiny I have repeatedly have been required to undergo to join the military, to be employed, get a SSN, etc. I had to show my original BC. Additionally, although the point in highly contended, I am of the camp that POTUS Obama is not natural born because is father was not a U.S. Citizen. POTUS Obama may be a “native born” or otherwise a citizen by nature of his mother, but he is not “natural born” (in the constitutional sense) because at birth he had divided loyalties because of who his father was - Kenyan. He SHOULD NEVER have been allowed to run or take office, and it is time this plays out in court under the rule of law. The ultimate SCOTUS (if it goes the full way) will define what “natural born” means.
