Again...no offense, but so what. You seem to think that you have legal authority to demand that people turn over personal documents to satisfy your curiousity. You do not...I don't care if you don't trust the state of Hawaii...niether do the courts.

Uhhh.....OK. I am sure the judge would be very interested that the guy yelling in the third row officially objects to the full faith and credit clause of the constitution.
This is why the birther movement is considered fringe....your personal views do not equal law...nor do your opinions equal facts. Most people understand that about themselves.

I simply stated what the best evidence rule is and how it is applied. It's not my standard but the standard of trial courts all over this country and in many parts of the world.
And, as I said before, Obama is not on trial or in a court of law. So, what does this have to do with this issue?
A copy will be allowed into evidence only if the original is unavailable."
Sounds like your standards are higher than the courtroom's.
“According to the Social Security Administration, that number was never issued,” said Hollister, who challenged whether the president is an American citizen in a lawsuit the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Jan. 18 without requiring a response from the White House. Read more: www.gazette.com...

As obama has not spent millions to hide details - just what are you on about?
Just why did obama have to spend millions, when those details are private anyway?

Plus he's hiding not only the long form birth certificate, but his school and work records as well. No other president has done this
The first three digits are known as the 'Area Number" . Prior to 1972 , these numbers were representative of the state in which the number was issued .
However , you were not required to apply for your SSN in the state you resided in . You could live in one state and apply for your number in another state .
For numbers issued after '72 , the first three digits were dependant upon the zip code of the mailing address provided on your original application .
And again , it is not obligatory that your mailing address be in the same state as your residence .
So , I don't see where any of this is relevant .

You can totally shut down the entire Tea Party effort, and all conservatives, with absolute disgrace and extreme humiliation.
Easy. Just publish the real birth certificate, provided the authorities in Hawaii can find it.

I don't have standing to make such a request. Nor did I have the standing to "demand" Nixon turn over the White House tapes. Ultimately that led to a Constitutional crisis and this may end up in the same way. Bit of a straw man argument here?

Your not getting the best evidence rule. As an attorney, representing a party to an action, I would object to the computer print out you seem so found of waving around. The grounds and likely result of the objection are stated supra. I was referencing a hypothetical scenario.

I don't think telling people to shut up, stop asking questions and don't let yourself be part of a "fringe" movement is a reasonable way to prevail on the merits.

Especially, when many of those same people had get their original birth certificate for lesser purposes.

Why are the BHO apologists acting like we want to take out his kidney and slice it up, when we only want his BC for heaven's sake.

Yes and in that hypothetical scenario any judge who had ever attended law school would respond with the explanation that the "best evidence" rule does not apply to validated, certified government records.
That judge woud also explain that the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the constitution dictates that every court in the land recognize such government certified records from the state of Hawaii without reservation.
He would also explain that the "best evidence" rule must demand relevant information to the suit and seeing as the "long form" certificate would contain no information relative to Pres. Obama's citizenship that has not been already validated via the COLB...the long form would be niether relevant to any suit, nor constitute best evidence by even the most liberal interpretation of the rule.
(1) Not relevant evidence...the COLB already addresses it.
(2) The COLB is a government validated record...not subject to the "best evidence rule"
(3) The Full faith and Credit Clause of the constitution mandates the court recognizing the COLB from Hawaii.
Debunking BS is not the same as telling people to shut up. I appreciate your posts in the context that they allow honest and thoughtful folks to disect and highlight where how these falsehoods are constructed allowing reasonable folks to come to better conclusions rather than simply believe what propagandists like WND tell them to.
Confused ad infinitium. I have used my computer generated, validated, sealed, signed COLB to obtain a passport, drivers liscense and a couple years ago to recieve a security clearance when our company did some work for the gov in the simulation field. Never once did anyone ask about my "long-form".
You are either making stuff up or are confused. If you have a long form that has the registrars seal etc., that would suffice, but so would a validated computer generated COLB that is more common today and what most state agencies issue nowdays.
What is a "BHO Apologist"? To me it seems a buzzword without substance coined by folks hoping to discredit folks without actually having to respond to facts.
I certainly have never apologized for any of Pres. Obama's actions, nor do I agree with all of his policies or actions. For me this debate is about honesty and how any public debate should begin with folks telling the truth rather than simply making things up.
There are folks that have an honest view of Pres. Obama....and still wish he would release his long-form, while at the same time acknowledging that all the evidence supports him being a natural born citizen. Those folks are rarities.
There are honest folks that have simply been duped by WND, Taitz etc. and haven't fully examined what they have been told...but the overwhelming majority of the "birther" movement cares not for the truth or evidence and repeatedly proves this through ignoring facts and manufacturing evidence. Those folks I consider "birthers". It speaks to an agenda that has nothing to do with facts, evidence or the truth. They ignore evidence, manufacture thier own and rely on a long string of bias opinions posted on crazy bias sites, while never independantly investigating the issue or examining facts in opposition to thier views.
I have regulary read WND, Obamafiles, stuff from Corsi, Taitz etc. and researched each claim. They are not confused...they lie. they mock up evidence, edit video and texts, ignore genuine evidence...it is easy to discover...just suspend trust no matter what the source, find the root of any claim and test it against other sources and come at it as nuetral as possible and a picure of reality emerges.
Of course that assumes that the goal is finding out the truth rather than begining with an emotional view and searching for "evidence" to support that view.
