The way I see it, the first two cases won by default based on the HI BCs being genuine and proving a non-citizen father.
Orly's case won by default based on proving that the HI BCs were forgeries!
These results seem contradictory together with two based on an assumption that the BCs are genuine and Orly's based on them being forged. But each was was heard separately on its own facts..facts that Obama’s attorneys didn't object to because they weren't there!
If I understand it correctly, they won the default judgment because no opposing argument was made. Because there is no opposition, the plaintiffs won. At this point I do not know if this is bad or good.
Obama has ducked, and I am not certain it matters or will have any negative consequences at all. Given the blatant antagonistic response of the press outside the hearing, and their aggressively belligerent attitude toward Orly, the press is NEVER going to discuss Minor v Happersett. They will make Orly and the birth certificate the target and ignore the real issue.
“in the record” or “into evidence?” I suspect you already know, the two are not the same. If the COLB was not admitted into evidence, Sven and others who seem apoplectic over the issue, appear to be worrying needlessly.
