The lawsuit is irrelevant. Prior to the suit, discovery has to take place. If Obama fails to turn over a valid birth cert, Berg would petition the judge to order him to do so. How will that look on the news ?

I should clarify - prior to the case getting to court. The suit has already been allowed to go forward

[mojito]

The lawsuit is not irrelevant: Discovery is part of the legal process involved in any litigation.

During discovery, both sides present their evidence to the court and to the other side.

If Mr. Obama has a valid Hawaii birth certificate, it would be wise for him to produce it during the discovery phase.

For Mr. Berg to prove his claim that Obama is ineligible, he will need to provide documentary evidence to that effect.

If Obama can not produce a birth certificate, or refuses to do so, then this story will go quickly from being a side-show to a major scandal in very short order.
