Ah, but even good looking forgeries could not withstand a proper forensic analysis.
We are talking paper that is most likely no longer milled and certainly aged, inks of chemical composition that could be quite difficult to simulate (and what about oxidation?), and even the ages of the finger smudges. What about font styles? (We here at FR know all about that one, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk)
Then, there are other corroborating bits of evidence. Yeah, newspaper birth announcements say Hawaiian birth, but those could have been fairly easy for a well-connected grandfather to secure.
Hypothetically, if someone were to try to forge a very old official document, that person would do everything to avoid a through forensic analysis.
All this said, I am not a 100% "birther". I do believe it quite curious, however, that Marxist Obama doesn't produce a birth certificate, if it would embarrass his political enemies.
Good on the judge for wanting to settle this the correct way.

What political enemies? What conservatives leaders--real leaders--are taking up the subject?
