In Hollister v. Soetoro Bob Bauer asked the court to take “judicial notice” of the fact that his client, Barack Obama publicly produced a certified copy of a birth certificate showing that he was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu Hawaii. And noting a birth announcement published in a Honolulu newspaper.
Neither document was provided for the court, because neither document exist, but the fact that Bauer only had these items to “offer” the court as proof of his clients eligibility is quit interesting.
