Quote from Range Rover:
All of Obamas actions clearly point to running for a 2nd term.He has a 45-50 % approval rating and poll after poll shows he would beat or is within a few points of every 2012 Republican contender.No way is he going to step down for Hilary.Gibbs has announced today that he is stepping down to resume his position as campaign spokesmen and Axelrod has already started on Obamas 2012 run
I dont think he will ever need to show the original.Federal government always trump state government,and the federal government and the Supreme Court says Hawaii's COLB is sufficient for proof of birth.The Supreme Court may have to step in to give some of these red states a reality check,but Obama will be on every ballot in 2012
I dont take Obamas word for it that he was born in Hawaii,I take the State of Hawaii's word for it that he was born in Hawaii.Hawaii's health dept,Hawaii's republican governor and Hawaii's official state BC all say Obama was born in Hawaii.In 1961 Hawaiis health dept announced in 2 newspapers that Obama was born in Hawaii
The CIA thing ? I love amt4swa's posts,but please dont start taking his posts seriously
1. You do not think the states have a right to say who can be on their ballot? Why do we have and electoral college? It is not clear to me how the fed courts will rule on that issue.
2. You do not understand evidence. A birth certificate may be a valid document but still not be competent to be evidence as to place of birth.... in a court room.
A lawyer can't walk in with a doc and say... you see here this document says that produce was made in China ... therefore my client is off the hook.
Or you see this drivers license from HI, it says my client was old enough to drink, therefore my client is 21 .... case dismissed. Thats not the way the law works.
You have to lay foundation to be admissible as evidence, then the trier of fact gets to weigh the evidence.
Once Obama's lawyer made proffer your colb as evidence --
The first thing a lawyer would do would say is objection foundation. Objection, Hearsay and in some courts Objection, best evidence rule.
Who will have to lay the foundation for the birth certificate?
The record keeper.
Who would lay the foundation for place of birth.... the best record on the subject matter. The original. If the original is lost, then it is anybody's guess what will happen.
here is what would happen after the recent copy of the B.C. is offered.
Objection foundation. Granted
so Obama's lawyer would have to bring in the record keeper.
Then you would need the record keeper.
Then you would ask the record keeper how this document came to be printed. Where did it draw the data from.
How is the data gathered.
Is there an original.
Can the original be produced for inspection.
By the way the newpaper announcements... didn't those prove to be a fiction made up by a blogger?
