Lucas Smith, the eBay seller who claims he has an authentic copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate issued in Kenya, flew in from the Dominican Republic to show up Tuesday in U.S. District Judge David Carter's courtroom in Santa Ana, Calif., to testify as a witness in a case challenging the president's eligibility.
Despite evidence that the Kenyan birth certificate touted by Smith may be a forgery, Taitz has decided to advance the document as part of her case to establish that Obama fails to meet the "natural born citizen" requirement specified in Section 1, Article Two of the U.S. Constitution as a qualification to serve as president of the United States.
At the hearing Tuesday, Judge Carter ruled Smith would have to testify at a later date in the proceedings, despite the protestations of plaintiffs' attorney Orly Taitz that Smith's life was in jeopardy.

Ping.
Says a lot. No longer the convenient anonymity of the internet. A real plaintiff.
Well, how about this!
I still don’t trust Smith but he did show up.
The copy of the birth certificate on the internet certainly has merit as to its authenticity. As a data processing specialist who did a lot of work retrofitting year 2000 software in the banking industry, I find it interesting that the certificate formats the year as yyyy instead of the two digit year we were accustomed to. This may, however, have been the norm in Kenya at the time of his birth.
I think Smith probably did what he said he did. I doubt he would file an affidavit without considering the possible consequences if he were lying.
Now whether he got a real BC is another question. He said he got it from the hospital in the spring of 2009. You would think it would be on lockdown in Kenya.
Now I wonder if Judge Carter will order HI to turn over the document or his trial will be whether the document from Kenya is real. the next step would be to demand from HI the HI BC. Will Carter require that part of the dicovery to be “in camera’ where the public never sees the HI documents. If DOJ/Obama’s stooge attnys file a protective order to sealed it all up - will Judge Carter go alomg?
Plains Radio just received a report a few minutes ago that Judge Carter has issued a writ of discovery for all documents including birth certificates, college records, etc in the case.
If Smith is lying, his persecution of President Obama is a national news story. If Smith is telling the truth, this is the biggest story in the world. Media? Anyone, anyone?
Is this the one that resembles the david geoffrey bomford birth certificate?
“... spring of 2009.”
The date stamp in the top left hand corner of the birth certificate reflects “Feb 19, 2009.”
Does anybody else see that?
What Smith has is a hospital certificate and not a government issued certificate. I have no idea if that makes a difference. Also this copy was issued in 2009.
Well, sign up a bunch of forensic experts and in no time this’ll be settled.

Nope.
Yes. This is a copy of the hospital issued certificate.
are you sure? It’s the same lawyer isn’t it?
3 part video of Orly interview smith on part 2. I am upbeat.
