I wonder if, during his perusal of the internet that he happened to find this Obama birth certificate?

Given the proclivity for fake stuff to show up on the internet nowadays, I wouldn't want the judge to base his decision on a fraudulent document. One would think they would needfully rely on some sort of process of certification or something? Wouldn't you? :)
