Thank you for stating my concerns so clearly.
I had given up trying to make the same points and the fact that he may have used the Indonesian citizenship to travel as an adult. That would seem to make it impossible for him to say he was a “child” and not responsible for the actions of his parents during the adoption. Citizenship reinstated? Not likely.
Can you imagine any court stopping his inauguration and releasing the resultant national turmoil? Neither can I. He knows that.
On Dec. 1 SCOTUS will either accept or reject Berg's appeal. If they reject it, they will be agreeing he has no standing to bring this suit. If they accept it & rule against him, same result. If they accept it & rule in his favor (that he does have standing) they will remand the case back to the PA court, which will then proceed with discovery of facts (perhaps ordering Hussein to produce the original certificate). That's my layman's understanding, based on the best-informed arguments I have read.
I doubt it will ever get back to the PA court, & I doubt they would order him to produce the original. Judge Surrick would not want to become famous for triggering national rioting.
SCOTUS should take the case, just to resolve the question of who exactly is responsible for proving an individual is Constitutionally eligible to be a Presidential candidate.
Hussein's rise from nowhere to the Presidency, raising & spending $600 million to get elected, is a surreal horror movie.
I believe he fails to meet the Constitutional natural-born citizen requirement, since under 1961 law, his mother (Stanley Ann Durham) was not herself a US citizen for a long enough time for zer0 to be eligible.
I suspect the truth is much uglier, but have no proof.
Forgery? The Certificate of Live Birth (CoLB) image he posted to his Web site has been proven (to my satisfaction) to be a PhotoShop forgery. The Governor of Hawaii (Lingle) has ordered his original cert. to be sealed; a good move. I doubt any of us mere civilian peasants will ever know the truth. Even if any part of the US legal system manages to disgorge it, it will be too little, too late. The Enemedia will never cover the story; it will be dismissed as more loony wingnut Intarwebs garbage; larger events will have swamped it completely.
