From the judge’s decision in the Virginia Writ of Mandamus request case challenging Obama’s eligibiliy to be president: The most relevant passage: “The Certification of Live Birth establishes that Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen.
The affidavit of the State Health Director states that the information on the COLB is identical to the information on the “vault” copy of the birth certificate, and that both documents establish that Mr. Obama was born in Honolulu. The Court noted that the COLB is valid for all citizenship purposes. The court noted our argument that the COLB is not valid for determining citizenship, but referred us to Hawaiian law that states otherwise. “There is no difference between a certificate and a certification of live birth in the eyes of the state. For instance, either can be used to confirm U.S. citizenship to obtain a passport or state ID.” The court found that Hawaiian law makes the COLB valid for all purposes with the exception of determining native Hawaiian heritage for certain state and federal benefits. The court held that if Mr. Obama were born elsewhere and the birth registered in Hawaii, the “place of birth” line on the COLB would reflect that fact. The court stated that there could be no doubt that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii and that any argument to the contrary was fanciful and relied on completely unsubstantiated internet rumors.”

If in fact they are identical, then producing it should be no problem. 0 should present it to all involved in these lawsuits, and save himself and us the time, money, and aggravation involved in the fight.
Thanks for posting that excerpt from the Virginia case, which includes language from Hawaiian law.
Still, I disagree with the judge and the decision in the Virginia case. Seems to me that he applied some legal tech to assist Obama in evading discovery.
Obama would have been named in that (and every other) suit, so his attorneys could have simply dispensed with the matter by producing a copy of Obama’s long form birth certificate.
None of this legal wrangling is necessary, unless of course, you’ve got something to hide.
That is the final test of these cases.
