Sueing someone is how you settle legal disputes, not how you go about finding things out. Courts aren't investigators. This is one of the problems Orly has. She wants the court to investigate, but can't present a case with a proper legal dispute that can be resolved by a court.
"I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on whether it’s important if he is ineligible to hold that office."
I have never implied it wasn't important.
"Seems to make sense to me that he would be only too willing to do away with this one once and for all by showing his documentation. The fact that he’s fighting it like a banshee speaks volumes in itself. CO"
But he did show his documentation. An official Hawaiian birth certificate showing birth in Hawaii settles the issue. He's not doing any fighting. He didn't go to court to hide anything. Lawyers are simply filing the proper responses to lawsuits they didn't start. That's it.
But mlo, elegibility to serve as President IS a Constitutional issue and thereby can be resolved in the Courts failing all other attempts to solve it.
And the Hawaiian BC was not official. It was a Certification of Live Birth. Anyone can get that. I could produce my long form BC in two minutes. It has ALL of the information on it such as my father’s name, my mothers maiden name, the hospital I was born in and when, the doctor who delivered me, my nationality etc. Those are the things he will NOT reveal. In addition, he won’t even show his medical records or educational records. He’s a fraud and I would be really uncomfortable with that. The Democrats certainly didn’t waste any time making sure that McCain proved he was a Natural Born Citizen. Yes he was born in Panama but on a Military base to two NBC parents. Big difference. Maybe Orly isn’t the perfect Lawyer to do this but where are all the men when you need them??
I don’t know, this whole situation doesn’t pass the smell test.
Elections do have consequences and the consequences of this last one have and continue to be hugely destructive. Neery a day goes by that something more hasn’t changed and that’s only what you can see. What’s being done in secret? Shudder!! CO
