It is not a trivial matter. IT is the constitution we are talking about, and a potential effort to subvert it.
It would be exceedingly easy for Obama, were he a US citizen, is to provide to the media a certified copy of his birth certificate, as John McCain did. Costs $20. Instead, he gives a uncertified COLB jpg to Daily KOS & his buddies at Factcheck.
IT is not a major inconvenience for Obama to prove natural born citizenship, and unlike the Obama lawyers’ claims, should not give his client “great embarrassment”. Hopefully, one of the other 8 lawsuits will find a judge who agrees.

I never said it was trivial. I said it was a longshot.

Taking electoral politics into the courtroom is a lousy precedent to set. Judges already have a LOT of power ... do we really want them disqualifying candidates? Perhaps it would work better if we beat Obama on the issues (Ayers and Wright included), rather than wasting time fabricating a scandal.
Getting judges involved is a last ditch ploy used by Gore in 2000 ... and we TORE HIM APART for it.
