But if Donofrio is suing for something that he himself has claimed is already public knowledge, and supported by Obama’s own COLB, than on what basis would the SCOTUS request further documentation, such as original birth records?

Perhaps the fact that the state of Hawaii itself does not always recognize the short form COLB to be proof of birth location? Somewhere along this long, torturous epic it has been stated that in order to qualify for some sort of "homestead" status in HI, the short form COLB is insuffecient. If it (COLB) is not good enough for Hawaii, then how can it be for the NJ SoS or SCOTUS?

Those are all good questions, but if Donofrio is not contending such concerns in his case, then how would they ever be brought up in court?
