On the merits

imageBirthers believe things that aren’t true. I saw that over at ObamaReleaseYourRecords today, where a commenter addressed me saying:

You’re not keeping up with current events. The specific issue of the legitimacy of the lfbc proffered by the White House has not been adjudicated by a court. So neither you nor I know whether there are facts sufficient to prove a forgery.

That’s not true. The authenticity of Obama’s long form birth certificate was adjudicated in 2011.

In the case of Farrar v. Obama Orly Taitz presented witnesses, among them Douglas Vogt and Felicito Papa, who testified to the alleged forgery of the LFBC. She also presented exhibits including the analysis of Paul Irey. Judge Malihi, in his order, stated that he had decided the case “on the merits of their arguments and evidence.” In regard to the allegations of forgery, Judge Malihi said: “The Court finds the testimony of the witnesses, as well as the exhibits tendered, to be of little, if any, probative value, and thus wholly insufficient to support Plaintiffs’ allegations.”

One may say that this loss was not due to a lack of evidence, but to the ineptitude of Orly Taitz in presenting it (and she certainly had no clue about how to present expert testimony), but administrative law judges in Georgia such as Michael Malihi have wide latitude in considering evidence, including unqualified testimony that wouldn’t be admissible in superior court. Malihi said: “None of the testifying witnesses provided persuasive testimony.”

Malihi also rejected arguments that Obama was ineligible because of his non-citizen father.

In conclusion, Judge Malihi ruled: “President Barack Obama is eligible as a candidate for the presidential primary election under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(b).”

Whatever criticism one may raise against that trial, still the authenticity of Obama’s Long Form birth certificate WAS litigated ON THE MERITS and Obama was found eligible.

    My memory may be wrong, but in Orly’s case in IN all her “expert” testimony was stricken. Cheetos was deemed not and eggspert and Irey, as I recall, “might” be an expert in typesetting.

    They also were testifying about the “forgery”.

  2. john says:

    Judge Malihi said a lot of things but never gave any reasons or logic behind his decision. We know from Wonderland – “Saying something doesn’t make it true.” In addition, if you read the hearing transcript, Judge Malihi actually prevented Orly from allowing her evidence and witnesses to be properly proffered to the court. Its literally impossible for any lawyer to correctly proffer evidence or a witness in court in just matter of minutes, which what Orly was just given.

    20. NO WITNESS presented by Plaintiffs was QUALIFIED to provide an EXPERT OPINION as to whether what was purportedly downloaded from the White House web-site is a FORGERY.

    All EVIDENCE produced on October 22, 2012 is STRICKEN.

    The decision of FARRAR v. OBAMA was in a lower Georgia court so the decision is not posted on Lexis or WestLaw nor published in the usual printed reports. However it can be read here:

  8. Having been there, I didn’t find that Taitz was given a “matter of minutes.” We’d have to go to the video to time it. But that’s irrelevant. In expert testimony, the expert write an opinion which is provided to the court. His testimony on the stand is to establish his credentials and answer questions from the defense. The transcript ran 46 pages, and Orly Taitz presented 208 pages of exhibits on top of her 21 page first amended complaint and a 22-page proposed findings.

    And with all that, Orly lost to an empty chair.

    john: Its literally impossible for any lawyer to correctly proffer evidence or a witness in court in just matter of minutes, which what Orly was just given.

  9. I hope to cast doubt in some minds that they don’t already know it all. I’m not trying to change minds, but to free them to think for themselves.

    Also, they have more readers than I do.

  10. Hektor says:

    I think we have a language problem. When birthers claim they just want their cases heard on the merits, what they really mean is that the judge must frogmarch the President out of their White House in chains. Anything less than that and the case was never really heard and quite likely someone got to the Judge’s family. or bribed the state of Georgia with a pair of nuclear reactors.

    And in the way the bithers mean it, the cases will never be heard on the merits. Legally speaking or for that matter, in terms of common sense they have been heard on the merits every time.

  12. Dave says:

    That surprises me. What’s the basis for that?

    Dr. Conspiracy:

    Also, they have more readers than I do.

  13. john says:

    No; clearly reading the transcript and watching the hearing, Orly was clearly not given enough time to present her case properly.

    In fact Judge Land did pretty much the same thing. In sanctioning Orly $20,000.00 there is no question Orly was denied due process.

    Although due process required allowing a hearing for Orly why she shouldn’t be sanctioned, the hearing essentially never occurred.

    Judge Land allowed Orly to show up and it is clear from the transcript, Judge Land forbid Orly from presenting her case or even speaking.

    That was the denial of due process.

    As far the appeals court goes, Judge Land did give the hearing, so the appeals court didn’t care. In addition, appeal courts usually protect their own and will very rarely go after their fellow judges.

  14. john says:

    During the GA hearing, Orly made a note that there was very little time and that it was clear she was RUSHED by Judge Malihi. Orly simply didn’t have the time to properly proffer her evidence and witnesses to the court. I guess Judge Malihi saw to that.

  15. JPotter says:

    How does ignorance of a non-occurrence indicate ignorance of current events, particularly when the expected non-occurrence would be prompted by an imaginary need?

    It’s pretty hard to be aware of everything that doesn’t exist.

    “You’re not keeping up with current events. The specific issue of the legitimacy of the lfbc proffered by the White House has not been adjudicated by a court.”

    I know, I know, stop expecting logic where there’s none to be found.

  16. john says:

    “The Court finds the testimony of the witnesses, as well as the exhibits tendered, to be of little, if any, probative value, and thus wholly insufficient to support Plaintiffs’ allegations.”

    An allegation never explained and simply unsupported by the record. The case was dismissed at the appeals on standing grounds, so we really never got appeals uphold on Judge Mahili’s finding.

  17. I agree that Orly was rushed; however, she wasn’t limited in her written submissions.

    That said, if defense counsel had showed up, none of her witnesses would have been able to testify because they weren’t qualified except Sampson, and he really didn’t have any first hand knowledge of any of the facts of the case. All he said, and all he could say was, “it ought to be investigated more.”

    I agree that the trial was a mess, Orly was a mess, the Judge wanted to get that mess out of the courtroom. Nevertheless, the birthers did lose one on the merits.

    john: During the GA hearing, Orly made a note that there was very little time and that it was clear she was RUSHED by Judge Malihi. Orly simply didn’t have the time to properly proffer her evidence and witnesses to the court. I guess Judge Malihi saw to that.

    Dave: That surprises me. What’s the basis for that?

  19. Like in Alice in Wonderland, when a judge says it, it is so. Deciding is what judges do. They don’t have to explain why something is unpersuasive. They are either persuaded, or they are not.

    Maybe because none of her so-called “evidence” was really not evidence but just a lot of conjecture by people who don’t know what they’re talking about? John, if the testimony being given to the Judge has absolutely no bearing on the case (like the selective service application) or the witnesses cannot testify to the authenticity of the underlying document that was posted on the web, why would he waste his time listening to the BS?

    That was the denial of due process.

    I also read the transcripts, and it is completely untrue that Orly wasn’t give a chance to speak. She spoke at great length; the problem was that she refused to observe the rules or to follow the judge’s directions. Rather than comport herself as a lawyer in a court of law, she acted like a speaker at a press conference, and treated the judge as a hostile journalist. The judge was correct to admonish and fine her.

  23. john says:

    Yes, Doc that’s probably true. That’s why most judge are corrupt. Many believe that judges need to be held accountable because they simply are given too much authority and power.

  24. Loren says:

    john:
    During the GA hearing, Orly made a note that there was very little time and that it was clear she was RUSHED by Judge Malihi.

    Orly may have *said* that, but that doesn’t make it true.

    Judge Malihi asked Orly how much time she would need. She said two hours, and Judge Malihi gave her two hours.

    She then presented her arguments and witnesses for an hour and fifteen minutes, and *chose* to rest that that time, when she could have gone on for another 45 minutes. She can’t tell the judge how much time she’ll need, get it, then end EARLY and still complain that she didn’t have enough time.

  25. john says:

    “I also read the transcripts, and it is completely untrue that Orly wasn’t give a chance to speak.

    I read the transcript too. Orly was clearly forbidden to speak or present her case or even answer Judge Land’s questions. Every time Orly would attempt to speak (Answer Land’s question), Judge Land would cut her off before she even get out 1 or 2 words. Judge Land would ask another question. After complete confusing Orly and not allowing her to answer his questions, Land concluded the hearing and sanctioned Orly.

    As such the average user doesn’t install it, idiots do and we know exactly which bucket Birfoons fall in…..

    As such I would not trust the Alexa numbers as having any degree of accuracy in actual site visits by a representative sample of real users.

  29. Bob says:

    After 4 years of “working” on this “issue,” Orly should be able to present her case cogently in 20 minutes but as we saw in Georgia she can’t do it. She should have a 20 minute presentation ready, a 5 minute presentation ready, an hour long presentation ready, a two hour long presentation ready but she doesn’t. She’s not a good public speaker, she can’t focus, she spends time fumbling through notes and exhibits, she’s bad at what she does.

    She cannot even begin to communicate what she wants to say (not that it would help her case if she could).

  30. DaveH says:

  31. Joey says:

    John has forgotten that Orly’s “Trial on the merits” was also heard in the Fulton County Superior Court which upheld Judge Malihi. David Farrar then appealed his lawsuit to the Georgia Supreme Court who refused to hear it. Orly Taitz then appealed Farrar v Obama to the U.S. Supreme Court and the High Court denied the Petition for a Writ of Certiorari.
    So the “trial on the merits” ran the gamut of the American legal system and the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, Brian Kemp still had correctly approved Barack Obama for the Georgia ballot as a natural born citizen.

  32. Northland10 says:

    Even for the case tomorrow, instead of preparing and practicing she is busy blogging away and Googling herself. She is supposedly bringing a witness and has not prepped him? Even if she had good evidence, which she does not, she likely lose.

  33. Thinker says:

    Nonsense. Every lawyer who appears in court for any reason is faced with less time than they would like to present their case. They plan their presentations carefully and they focus on the most important points. It’s part of the skill set required to be an effective lawyer, which is why Taitz sucks at it. She a moron, a lunatic, and an incompetent lawyer.

    She was given two hours. Normally it takes a few minutes to qualify a real expert. Orly’s problems were two-fold:

    1. None of her “experts” were qualified forensic document examiners

    2. Even they had been qualified experts, Orly doesn’t know how to qualify them for court

    Orly either doesn’t bother to learn or she doesn’t understand the rules of civil procedure. Real experts are typically qualified to testify very quickly, because their credentials speak for themselves. The reality is that there is not a single certified document examiner anywhere in the world who is prepared to testify that the pdf of Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery.

    If a so-called expert is not qualified his or her testimony is worthless, and Judge Malihi properly disregarded the testimony of Orly’s “experts.”

    That wasn’t an allegation, John. That was a finding.

  41. Administrative law judges in Georgia can weigh the testimony of unqualified witnesses. They typically deal with citizen complaints against state agencies made by people without attorneys or the means to obtain qualified expert testimony. They sort things out. This is part of the reason Orly got as far as she did. Malihi not only said that the witnesses were unqualified, but that they were not persuasive.

    Rickey: If a so-called expert is not qualified his or her testimony is worthless, and Judge Malihi properly disregarded the testimony of Orly’s “experts.”

    Wrong, Bucko. Due process guarantees the right to be heard, but not necessarily in an oral hearing. Orly was afforded due process in the right to file a written response to the Order to Show Cause. She fucked up her due process opportunity by doubling down on her attack on the court.

    Now, if you disbelieve that due process can be satisfied by allowing a written response, please provide a proper legal citation. Make it a citation to Georgia state law, by the way.

    Thomas Brown: Do you understand what DR’s point even was?

    He’s been around for awhile (also goes by name e.vattel). His spiel is that a line from a Shakespeare play (forget which one) proves that NBCs can only be white males of European decent, whose ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War.

  56. Paul Pieniezny says:

    I’m sorry, but the fact remains that the appropriate appeal court for Malihi’s administrative “court” ruled that there was no case to begin with.

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/83539865/GA-2012-03-02-ORDER-Dismissing-Farrar-Swensson-Powell-And-Welden-Complaints

    In other words, Malihi may have ruled on the merits concerning Obama’s birth certificate, but his decision is not worth the paper it is written on. Legally, Malihi’s decision and the entire proceeding he presided over are void.

    Which means Orly’s use in other court proceedings of the DVD of the proceedings in Georgia is an obvious attempt at defrauding the court.

    But then she is also using the DVD with Judge Reid, so …

  57. I’ve seen this before, and it’s part of some neo-racist argument based on the definition of “kind” only in place of race, it’s ethnicity.

    Thomas Brown: Do you understand what DR’s point even was? I don’t get it.

  58. I reference Alexa because that’s the only choice. Birther web sites don’t publish detailed site statistics like I do.

    Certainly the bias argument is there, but I probably get birthers, and ORYR gets Obots.

    bovril: As such the average user doesn’t install it, idiots do and we know exactly which bucket Birfoons fall in…..

    As such I would not trust the Alexa numbers as having any degree of accuracy in actual site visits by a representative sample of real users.

    Looks like white supremacist word games to me, attempting to use etymology to ‘prove’ that only European descendants can be Americans.

    Setting aside the Constitution and the entire history or Anglo-American political thought, I see 2 problems with DR’s murky assertion (well, only 2 I care to list at the moment LOL!):

    1. Mixed genealogies. Are we to set up a Racial Purity office and go to a new pan-racial one-drop rule? GTFO.

    2. Languages constantly evolve. Words are tools used to communicate our internal thoughts to the outside world. Our thoughts are not defined by dictionaries. Thoughts are not limited to words. Words express thoughts. Words are not chained to their original meaning. Using the modern version of an ancient Saxon lexeme is not an attempt to channel Beowulf.

    Lolz.

    I was surprised by Dr. C’s statement that ORYR gets more readers, because of my impression that there are a lot more comments left here. But of course ORYR does seem to delete a lot of comments, and ban a lot of posters, so that would depress the number of comments. And besides, readers and commenters are two different things.

    It is my impression that ORYR likes to ban anti-birthers except Dr. C. Perhaps because he’s more polite than the rest of us — though they don’t strike me as fans of politeness over there.

    Here’s another bit of the obvious that never occurs to these bigoted simpletons. When you show up in a court not knowing the elementary rules of procedure, how to properly frame a legal question, or even the rules of evidence, you tend to get cut off and directed a lot.

    I subscribe to a weekly publication which comes in a print version, but the publisher also puts a PDF copy online for subscribers to download. The print version and the online version have the exact same content, but if I print out the online version it is not identical the the print version. The print edition is printed on different paper, it is a different size, and it has a mailing label.

    By your standards, the PDF version must be a counterfeit because it is not identical to the print edition. But in reality it is just a faithful copy of the print edition.

    It’s the same with the PDF of Obama’s LFBC. It’s not identical to the certified copy, but it contains the same information. Indeed, the certified copies which Obama received from Hawaii are not “identical” to the original certificate which is in Hawaii’s vault, but it is just as valid.

    Obama can end his ongoing fraud by presenting his two certified copies of his original birth certificate to any court of competent jurisdiction.

    All in due time Paper — First things first. If Obama is forced to produce his two certified copies it will determine whether or no he requested and received two certified copies of his original hospital generated birth certificate as he claimed on Apr 27, 2011. He has stipulated to a Federal District court that he did so. Because the two copies are purported to be certified copies they should be duplicate copies of his original birth certificate. Since the original certificate is altered or delayed then the two certified copies could not be identical to any of the LFCOLB PDF images that have been published at Obama’s direction. It would follow that these PDF images would necessarily be forgeries.

  88. aesthetocyst says:

    Herms has rebooted again. This is his final fallback position, to insist that Obama’s BC is late/altered/delayed, and that he has sekrit proof of such. Usually he throws in that the birth certificates presented by Obama were forged to conceal the truth of his late/altered/delayed real certificate.

    I think his repetitive insistence that Obama submit the 2 certified copies is his way of insinuating they don’t exist or are themselves forgeries. He wants Obama to, as he like to challenge anyone not buying into his crap, “put up of shut up!”

  89. justlw says:

    Hermitian: his original birth certificate is either altered or delayed.

    Since the State of Hawaii has certified multiple times over that Obama’s original birth certificate is neither altered nor delayed, clearly they’re “in the tank” for Obama, because, you know… well, actually, I can’t remember what your position is for why they’d stick their necks out in this way for him. But I’m sure there’s a good reason!

    …Anyhoo, since they’re in the tank for him, and have already committed multiple major felonies, why would you trust anything Obama submitted from them? It’s going to be turtles all the way down.

    No; clearly the Great Fraud will continue forever, the Great Fraudster will carry out his second term, and you’ll just have to grit your teeth and deal with it for the rest of your life. It’s just too big for one man, one dentist and one combover to overcome.

    But there is Article II Section 1 Clause 5 which requires that the President to be a Natural Born Citizen. In this country the standard way that we prove to the U.S. Government that we were born in the U.S. is by presenting our certified birth certificate.

    It’s all spelled out in the Federal laws passed in 2004 after 911. When a citizen presents his birth certificate to any Federal Agency, it must be a certified copy printed on thick security paper with the State seal and Registrar’s signature. Obama has never presented either of his two certified copies to any court or election official. But he has stipulated to a Federal Court that he requested and received two certified copies from Loretta Fuddy on Apr 25, 2011. And on top of that he also produced two different LFCOLB PDF images to the same Federal court and thus represented these as certified copies.

    In the case of an altered or late birth certificate, Hawaii law requires that only a court of competent jurisdiction can establish the evidentiary value of Obama’s Original birth records.

    Aiiiiihhh! The stupid! It burns!!!

  98. That is false. Either the birth certificate Obama presented at the White House press conference in April of 2011 is authentic, or it is not.

    If the birth certificate is authentic, then no fraud has been committed and therefore the fraud cannot be “ended” by him presenting the same thing.

    If the birth certificate is NOT authentic, then he cannot end the fraud by showing it.

They obviously need your input on what the actually fraud is, which elsewhere you have indicated is so easy to see.

If the Supreme Court justices feel that the question is well-settled, one would not expect them to hear a case for the purpose of resolving a question that is already resolved.

    Also, the Supreme Court can’t hear a case where the plaintiffs have no standing. I don’t know what case is before the Supreme Court that it could hear even if it wanted to.

    There is no case before SCOTUS which could result in SCOTUS ruling on Obama’s eligibility. Orly’s case (which in any event will be rejected by SCOTUS) is merely an application for a stay. She is asking SCOTUS to stay proceedings which will have already been completed by the time SCOTUS conferences the case, so her application is moot even if it had any merit (which it does not).

  111. gorefan says:

    Hermitian: In the case of an altered or late birth certificate, Hawaii law requires that only a court of competent jurisdiction can establish the evidentiary value of Obama’s Original birth records.

    Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-17 can not apply to President Obama’s birth certificate as it only applies to a “late” or “altered” certificate. By the definition 338-16 a “late” certificate is one that is “registered one year or more after the date of birth” and an “altered” certificate is one that has “been altered after being filed with the Department of Health”. It is impossible for President Obama’s LFBC to meet those requirements.

    Dr. Onaka in his certified verification to SoS Bennett specifically verified the date the BC was accepted by the DOH registrar (AUG – 8, 1961) and the date of the signature of the Attendant (8-8-61).

    For President Obama’s LFBC to meet 338-16’s definition of “late” the DOB on the original BC in the DOH would have to be prior to August 4, 1960.

    In signing the original BC, the Attendant has certified that “this child has been born alive at the date and hour as stated above”. Dr. Onaka verified (in all three verifications) that the DOB (August 4, 1961) on the White House pdf matches the DOB (August 4, 1961) on the original BC on file at the DOH. The Attendant could not have signed it on August 8, 1961 certifying that the child was born on August 4, 1961 if the child was born one year earlier.

    For it to meet the requirements of 338-16’s definition of “altered” it would need to have been changed after the registrar accepted the BC on August 8, 1961 (date certified by Dr. Onaka’s verification). There is very limited information on the LFBC that could have been “altered” even less information that would impact Presidential elegiblity. The DOB could not be the “altered” info as the Attendant has certified that the DOB was August 4, 1961. The place of birth cannot have been altered as the Dr. Onaka has verified that President Obama was born at Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital. There is only one anmed hospital in the world and that is in Honolulu, Hawaii. The parents’ names might have been altered after the DOH accepted the BC, but then you would have to find another 18 year old woman born in Wichita, Kansas to replace Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and another 25 year old man born in Kenya, East Africa to replace Barack Hussein Obama.

    There is no scenario that explains an altered BC with the facts verified by Dr. Onaka.

    Dr. Conspiracy:
    Actually Obama did. As prescribed by the Presidential Eligibility Act of 2008, Obama presented two certified copies (that’s why he got two) to the Bureau on January 10. It was on C-Span.

    I see what you did there.

    Per her letter to Obama, Loretta Fuddy has stated that she witnessed the copying of Obama’s original Certificate of Live Birth. She indicated that two certified copies were produced.

    STATE OF HAWAII
    DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
    P. 0. BOX 3316
    HONOLULU, HI 963013373

    Aprii 25, 2011

    The Honorable Barack Obama
    President of the United States
    The White House
    1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
    Washington, DC 20500

    Dear President Obama:

    l have reviewed your request for two certified copies of your original Certificate of Live Birth. As the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, I have the legal authority to approve the process by which copies of such records are made. Through that authority, in recognition of your status as President of the United States, I am making an exception to current departmental policy which is to issue a computer-generated certified copy.

    We hope that issuing you these copies of your original Certificate of Live Birth will end the
    numerous inquiries received by the Hawaii Department of Health to produce this document. Such inquiries have been disruptive to staff operations and have strained State resources.

    Enclosed please find two certified copies of your original Certificate of Live Birth. I have
    witnessed the copying of the certificate and attest to the authenticity of these copies. A
    receipt for the payment of these documents is attached for your files. Please let us know if
    we can be of further assistance.

    Sincerely,

    Loretta J. Fuddy, A.C.S.W, M.P.H.

    The certified copies would therefore be duplicate copies of Obama’s original birth record. These copies also should have the Hawaii certifying elements as well as the security features of the basket-weave safety paper. However, these copies would have probative value only if they are not marked as altered or delayed. These markings would prove that the WH LFCOLB is a forgery.

  114. Paper says:

    Oh, now I got it! After four years of reading your blog, I finally understand (and can handle) the truth. I’ve always failed at making that initial assumption, despite having my very own, personal tutor in remedial birthing. If birthers could just explain it that simply, I think they would win over everyone. Start with the conclusion! Voila!

    Dr. Conspiracy:
    That’s simple. Since Obama is ineligible (according to Hermitian) Hawaii must have committed fraud. It’s all very simple with that initial assumption.

  115. justlw says:

    Dr. Conspiracy:
    A delayed certificate can be ruled out. Hawaii has verified the information on the LFBC, which would include the date it was accepted. That alone proves it was not delayed.

    That’s what I figured. I’ve also been assuming that since Onaka has certified the LFBC with a blank “Evidence for Delayed Filing or Alteration” field, that his BC has not been altered. And as gorefan said above, Onaka has explicitly verified the key data. Not to mention that Fukino has said explicitly that Obama is a natural born citizen. And that the state has previously released a certified document with all the relevant data as well.

    Obama claims that he received two certified copies. These would therefore be duplicate copies of his original birth certificate and thus marked as delayed or altered.

  117. Hermitian says:

    aesthetocyst: I think his repetitive insistence that Obama submit the 2 certified copies is his way of insinuating they don’t exist or are themselves forgeries. He wants Obama to, as he like to challenge anyone not buying into his crap, “put up of shut up!”

    Aes is back. You remember he’s that Obot who’s a self-made expert on all topics — but doesn’t seem to know any of the facts about Obama’s birth records. Like which Obama LFCOLB PDF image did Tepper attach to his letter to Fuddy? Did he attach the page 8 (WH LFCOLB + Case Label) PDF image or his Tepper page 4/11 LFCOLB PDF image?

    “That is false. Either the birth certificate Obama presented at the White House press conference in April of 2011 is authentic, or it is not.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    It’s not authentic. And Obama has produced no evidence to the contrary.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “If the birth certificate is authentic, then no fraud has been committed and therefore the fraud cannot be “ended” by him presenting the same thing.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    So now the forged WH LFCOLB PDFimage is the same thing as a certified copy?

    A fraud was propagated on the Federal District Court when The MDEC attorneys produced the forged WH LFCOLB PDF image to the court and associated this image with the letter correspondence between Obama and Fuddy which supported the request and acquisition of two certified copies from the HDOH. The MDEC attorneys could have produced the two certified copies that they stipulated that Omama had received from the HDOH on Apr. 25, 2011. Instead they withheld these certified copies and instead substituted the forged WH LFCOLB PDF image. They did so in spite of the fact that these two certified copies cost only $14.00 and Federal law requires any other citizen must produce certified copies to any Federal agency.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “If the birth certificate is NOT authentic, then he cannot end the fraud by showing it.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    So a counterfeiter cannot end his crime by producing his counterfeit $100 bill to the Secret Service investigators? What Obot nuance am I missing this time?
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “Now what you might have meant was that the controversy could be ended in this way, but that is just as silly, as anyone who knows the birthers knows.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    So now forgery of an identity document is just a silly crime. Maybe why that’s why Obama now encourages and assists all newly arriving illegal aliens to apply for entitlements using their band spanking new forged identity documents. And then later some hard working American citizen who is paying the freight for these criminals learns these illegals just signed up for welfare and food stamps using his ID. This is called “spreading the wealth around”. The taxpayers also forked out $billions for in lieu of tax payments mailed to Mexican addresses last year. That is spreading the American wealth around Mexico.

    That is not the standard or requirement for demonstrating NBC status for a President, as no other President has done so.In addition, while standard in normal affairs, it is not an absolute requirement, even for getting a passport.

    See this list of Secondary Evidence of Citizenship that may be used to get a passport if you can’t supply primary evidence (such as a birth certificate).

    They list various options to be combined in certain ways depending on each person’s circumstances: early public records, a delayed birth certificate (well, look at that!), letter of no record, birth affidavit, foreign birth documentation + parent(s) citizenship evidence.

    Take a gander.

    http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/secondary_evidence/secondary_evidence_4315.html

    Could you copy your link to Obama? He’s going to need to recreate all of his secondary evidence pretty soon. This may be mission impossible because the Obama minions have been scrubbing his background traces for over four years.

  120. The “seal” is implicit in “certified copy.” Duh.

She does not specifically mention a seal impression or the registrar’s stamps. However she does attest the authenticity of the certified copies.

  121. Unsupported nonsense like that puts you in the company of the most brain-dead of historical commenters here who confuse their pet notions with facts, and substitute belief for evidence. It reminds me of Sven’s refugee theory and rather grieves me to see a mind wasted in this way.

    Hermitian: Obama claims that he received two certified copies. These would therefore be duplicate copies of his original birth certificate and thus marked as delayed or altered.

  122. Hermitian says:

    Rickey: Wrong again.

    There is no case before SCOTUS which could result in SCOTUS ruling on Obama’s eligibility. Orly’s case (which in any event will be rejected by SCOTUS) is merely an application for a stay. She is asking SCOTUS to stay proceedings which will have already been completed by the time SCOTUS conferences the case, so her application is moot even if it had any merit (which it does not).

    Wrong! You forgot about Sibley’s multi-front attacks.

  123. Hermitian says:

    Dr. Conspiracy:
    Your personal delusions are not evidence. The very fact that you can’t even assert whether it is altered or delayed demonstrates that you don’t know anything, but are working backwards from your conclusions.

    Everybody should hold back his ace in the hole? Don’t you have one you need to share first?

  124. donna says:

    hermit/martian

    what is the definition of a “delayed” birth certificate? you OBVIOUSLY don’t know

    Delayed Birth Certificate

    If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship because your U.S. Birth Certificate was not filed within the first year of your birth, you may submit a Delayed U.S. Birth Certificate

    these are mostly for people born at home and/or not in a hospital

  125. Hermitian says:

    Paper:
    And yet Hawaii twice since then has verified the information, and that he was born in Hawaii.This fact, central among many other such facts, makes your personal lack of seeing the physically certified copies irrelevant.

    What information dude? You mean:

    1. The information on the two certified copies?

    2. The information on the WH LFCOLB PDF image?

    3. The information on the page 8 LFCOLB PDF image?

    4. The information on the unredacted Tepper page 4/11 LFCOLB PDF image?

    5. The information on the hidden redacted Tepper page 4/11 LFCOLB PDF image?

    6. The information that can be selected by mouse and cursor on the Tepper page 4/11 LFCOLB PDF image?

    7. The information on the HDOH request for vertification printed form that Arizona SOS Bennett filled out, signed and sent to the Hawaii AAG Nagmine?

    8. The information on the flattened Black&White (and nearly unreadable) printed copy of the Tepper page 4/11 LFCOLB that the Mississippi Southern Federal District Court sent to Kansas SOS Kobach?

    Just asking.

    Cuz we already know that Onaka can’t verify that any of the above are true and authentic copies of an original Obama birth certificate.

    Engineers are very good at asking.

  126. The Magic M says:

    Hermitian: The MDEC attorneys could have produced the two certified copies that they stipulated that Omama had received from the HDOH on Apr. 25, 2011.

    I repeat: what’s your obsession with “producing both copies” if one would suffice? As I said, you must harbour the secret belief that somehow and for some reason, Hawaii produced two *non-identical* copies. If only to give you birthers an opportunity to say “Obama must also produce the other one” if he ever submitted one of the two copies to court. After all, you people are the best movers of goalposts in the world since U-Haul hired Joe Montana.

    Hermitian: So a counterfeiter cannot end his crime by producing his counterfeit $100 bill to the Secret Service investigators?

    How would that “end” the crime? The crime would’ve been committed no matter what the counterfeiter did later.

    Hermitian: These would therefore be duplicate copies of his original birth certificate and thus marked as delayed or altered.

    How would an identical copy be “marked delayed/altered”? That would totally circumvent the sense of having a copy, i.e. to reproduce the original.

    Your claim is even sillier than birthers claiming the COLB where the BC number was redacted in the JPG representation (!) was “invalidated” by this redaction because it says “any alterations invalidate this certificate”.

    “According to federal judge Gibney, the question of the eligibility of the US-born citizens of non-citizens (except ambassadors) is well settled. If the Supreme Court justices feel that the question is well-settled, one would not expect them to hear a case for the purpose of resolving a question that is already resolved.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    We don’t want to hear an appeal on the eligibility of President Obama. We believe that a case that we heard back in the 1800’s about a Chinaman who was denied re-entry is close enough. Case closed.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “Also, the Supreme Court can’t hear a case where the plaintiffs have no standing. I don’t know what case is before the Supreme Court that it could hear even if it wanted to.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    The word “standing” appears no where in the U.S. Constitution. “Standing” is a concept that the courts invented just to control their work load.

    Also the term “settled law” is also not in the Constitution. “Settled Law” is something that the courts invented when their bookshelves were overflowing with those thick law books.

    Also “settled law” is what the courts invoke in lieu of the Constitution.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “The federal courts resolve actual controversies. Future candidates do not constitute an actual controversy.”

    “”Hermitian: There has never been a ruling of the Supreme Court as to the meaning of “Natural Born Citizen” in the context of a presidential election. Such a case would have to be a candidate eligibility case. SCOTUS has the duty to rule on Obama’s eligibility because some future SCOTUS might do so for a future ineligible candidate. Such a case is now before the SCOTUS.””

    Herms, for all the ludicrous assertions you’ve cantilevered off of ludicrous assumptions, all you have here is still just: “Nuh-uhh!” Ultimately, every claim you make has only one thought as a foundation: the assumption that Obama cannot possibly be eligible for the Presidency. Your starting point is your desired conclusion.

    Which would mean that every single birth certificate ever for every single person in the United States is altered or delayed. Making the whole point of birth certificates a failure and a mess.

    Hermitian: Obama claims that he received two certified copies.These would therefore be duplicate copies of his original birth certificate and thus marked as delayed or altered.

  131. Paper says:

    The presentation at the press conference was the production of evidence to the contrary. But what he himself has provided is even irrelevant at this point, because Hawaii has produced two verifications, plus a link to the PDF, plus earlier statements.

    The fraud you imagine, “imagine” because you have provided no evidence of it actually existing, is not even fraud, “not even fraud” because the information is what matters and that information has been verified repeatedly by Hawaii.

    If you must have fraud, and it seems you must, then you need to stick with Hawaii, and find out how Hawaii managed this great conspiracy and cover-up. Pursuing PDFs, and the whole copy of copy concern, is meritless on its face.

    This is all a repeat of long established fact, but you want to rehash, and reportedly never want to budge, so where is *your* evidence? What do you have to offer that will ever be taken seriously in a court or anywhere outside of birtherdom?

    Hermitian:

    Comment

    “”Hermitian: In the case of an altered or late birth certificate, Hawaii law requires that only a court of competent jurisdiction can establish the evidentiary value of Obama’s Original birth records.””

    “Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-17 can not apply to President Obama’s birth certificate as it only applies to a “late” or “altered” certificate. By the definition 338-16 a “late” certificate is one that is “registered one year or more after the date of birth” and an “altered” certificate is one that has “been altered after being filed with the Department of Health”. It is impossible for President Obama’s LFBC to meet those requirements.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    The HDOH is also bound by their own regulations. Most agencies, when there is conflict between there standing laws and regulations, quickly move to correct the conflict. Unfortunately, for their own convenience the HDOH has not done so. The most recent example is the 2001 memo that the HDOH purported to adopt in 2001 but did not enforce until the need to give Obama cover in 2011. This policy was illegally adopted by fiat without any public hearings. When pressed on this illegality in a Hawaii court, the AAG of Hawaii offered up the still standing regulations last revised in June 1976. These same regulations apply in the case of late or delayed birth certificates.

    PUBLIC HEALTH REGULATIONS
    Department of Health, State of Hawaii
    Chapter 8A
    DELAYED BIRTH REGISTRATION

    Under and by virtue of Sections 338-2 and 338-41(a), Hawaii Revised Statutes,
    and all other applicable laws, the rules and regulations of the Department of
    Health of the State of Hawaii are hereby amended to include a chapter to be
    numbered “Chapter 8A” and to read as follows:

    Section A. DEFINITIONS L
    1. “Late registration of birth” means the registration of a person’s non-
    recorded birth more than 30. days but less than one year after birth.
    2. “Delayed registration of birth” means the registration of a person’s non-
    recorded birth on or after his first birthday.
    3. “Hawaiian birth certificate” means a birth registered on a delayed basis
    for persons one year of age or older prior to repeal of Section 338-41,
    Hawaii Revised Statutes, by Act 66, Session Laws 1972.

    And afterwards the legislature passed the SS338-17.8 for children born outside the state.

    These definitions given in the regulations are in conflict with the definitions given in the laws that you cited but these are the standing regulations of the HDOH and laws of Hawaii. So take your pick.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “Dr. Onaka in his certified verification to SoS Bennett specifically verified the date the BC was accepted by the DOH registrar (AUG – 8, 1961) and the date of the signature of the Attendant (8-8-61).“

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    But Onaka did not verify the date of Obama’s birth for Bennett.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “For President Obama’s LFBC to meet 338-16’s definition of “late” the DOB on the original BC in the DOH would have to be prior to August 4, 1960. “

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    See above conflict between HDOH regulations and Hawaii laws. You’ll just have to ask Loretta Fuddy what a late or delayed birth certificate is. She is the one holding all the aces. She also decides what kind of a birth certificate is awarded under SS338-17.8 for children born out of the State or Territory of Hawaii.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “In signing the original BC, the Attendant has certified that “this child has been born alive at the date and hour as stated above”. Dr. Onaka verified (in all three verifications) that the DOB (August 4, 1961) on the White House pdf matches the DOB (August 4, 1961) on the original BC on file at the DOH.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Wrong! Onaka failed to verify the President’s date of birth for Arizona SOS Bennett. He also refused to verify that “The information contained in the “Certificate of Live Birth” published at http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long+form.pdf and reviewed by you on the date of your verification, a copy of which is attached to this request, that the attached copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama is a true and accurate representation of the original record in your files.”

    So duh! It’s not a “true and accurate representation”.

    In the case of Kansas SOS Kobach, Onaka refused to verify that “is identical to the information contained in the original Certificate of Live Birth for Barack Hussein Obama, II on file with the State of Hawaii Department of Health”.

    So duh! It’s also “not identical to”.

    Anybody want to guess what “matches” means in Hawaii? I don’t.

    And then we don’t even know which LFCOLB PDF image that Onaka verified for the MDEC attorneys.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “The Attendant could not have signed it on August 8, 1961 certifying that the child was born on August 4, 1961 if the child was born one year earlier”.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Wrong! Zullo has evidence of children who were awarded Hawaii Certificates of Live Births up to 2 years after they were born out of country.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “For it to meet the requirements of 338-16’s definition of “altered” it would need to have been changed after the registrar accepted the BC on August 8, 1961 (date certified by Dr. Onaka’s verification). There is very limited information on the LFBC that could have been “altered” even less information that would impact Presidential elegiblity. The DOB could not be the “altered” info as the Attendant has certified that the DOB was August 4, 1961. The place of birth cannot have been altered as the Dr. Onaka has verified that President Obama was born at Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital. There is only one anmed hospital in the world and that is in Honolulu, Hawaii. The parents’ names might have been altered after the DOH accepted the BC, but then you would have to find another 18 year old woman born in Wichita, Kansas to replace Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and another 25 year old man born in Kenya, East Africa to replace Barack Hussein Obama.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    The HDOH regulations regarding altered birth certificates are in:
    “PUBLIC HEALTH REGULATIONS
    Department of Health, State of Hawaii
    Chapter 8B
    VITAL STATISTICS REGISTRATION AND RECORDS”
    Maybe you ought to read them before bloviating all over the place.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “There is no scenario that explains an altered BC with the facts verified by Dr. Onaka.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    In other words “not true and accurate” or “identical to”. But the information “matches”.

    Onaka’s verifications do not exclude information on the original that does not appear on the certificate that the attorney is requesting to be verified. Such as “altered” or “delayed”

    It’s way past time for a court of competent jurisdiction to put a stop to this Hawaiin duplicity.

    aesthetocyst: LOL! Attempting to turn me into a straw man, follow up with a misdirection, and hope no one notices you failed to respond to my description of your gambit. Herms, pinned again.

    “Self-Made Expert on All Topics”, heh. I had no idea I had impressed you so.Noting all the obama-conspiracy-related topics I don’t comment on, I must disrespectfully decline this honorific.

    Dr. Conspiracy: Unsupported nonsense like that puts you in the company of the most brain-dead of historical commenters here who confuse their pet notions with facts, and substitute belief for evidence. It reminds me of Sven’s refugee theory and rather grieves me to see a mind wasted in this way.

    So Hermy is basically claiming any time you get a copy of your birth certificate it is considered altered or delayed. Well phenominal logic there.

  144. aesthetocyst says:

    G: Hermitian: Last time I checked I don’t have Obama’s two certified copies.He does.

    Wait, wait, wait, waaaaaaaaaaait-a-minute.

    Herms insists that Obama does have two certified copies in his possession? LMAO!

    So, then, at the risk or re-re-rebooting the HHHHHH-unit, what’s this PDF Madness mess all about then?

    Beats the heck out of me. Why don’t you ask Obama what it’s all about Alfie?

    He’s published those PDF images that he purports are duplicates of his original hospital-generated birth certificate and therefore also duplicates of his two certified copies. Then he refuses to show the original or the certified copies to the public. So what’s he hiding?

  146. Hermitian says:

    Dr Kenneth Noisewater: So Hermy is basically claiming any time you get a copy of your birth certificate it is considered altered or delayed. Well phenominal logic there.

    Nope! I stated that there is absolute proof that Obama’s original birth certificate is either altered or delayed.

    Hermitian adj. Quality of being permanently (i.e. “hermetically” sealed, esp. as regards the discovery of one’s own error. syn. dense, thick, clueless. As in “Perhaps Orly Taitz would learn the naked rudiments of the practice of Law if only she were not so hermitian.

  149. Coming from you, such a statement is meaningless.

    Hermitian: Nope! I stated that there is absolute proof that Obama’s original birth certificate is either altered or delayed.

  150. I suppose we could quote Hermitian the actual definition of a delayed or altered Hawaiian birth certificate but why bother? Anyone who would make such a ridiculous statement as he just did probably could not understand anyway.

  151. I have concluded that you have nothing to say, and I have stopped reading your comments.

    Ah yes your imaginary absolute proof that is super sekrit and you can’t tell anyone.

  154. Keith says:

    Hermitian: Anybody want to guess what “matches” means in Hawaii? I don’t.

    From Wikipedia:

    A match is a tool for starting a fire under controlled conditions. A typical modern match is made of a small wooden stick or stiff paper. One end is coated with a material that can be ignited by frictional heat generated by striking the match against a suitable surface.

    So ‘matches’ is the plural of that; i.e. more than one match.

  155. SluggoJD says:

    Hermitian: Nope!I stated that there is absolute proof that Obama’s original birth certificate is either altered or delayed.

    And yet you’re still alive, with internet access.

    Someone call George!

  156. Paper says:

    By *your* argument, no state in all of the country has ever issued an unaltered or unrelated birth certificate.

    An altered certificate, for instance (and only one example), would be if someone changed their name. A delayed certificate is well-defined, and is about the original information being submitted a substantial amount of time past birth.

    The two certified copies the President received are *original* birth *certificates,* in the same way as yours and mine. Birth certificates by their existence are copies (or printouts of information entered into a computer record) of primary documentation; they are original *certificates,* but copies of primary documentation. The primary documentation does not get released. You certainly know all this by now.

    What the President received is as original as anyone gets. Unless you ever get around to providing actual evidence that Hawaii itself committed fraud, the primary documentation will remain right where it is, untroubled.

    Hermitian: So you are going on the record here that the HDOH has never issued a certified copy of an altered or delayed birth certificate?

    Paper:
    Which would mean that every single birth certificate ever for every single person in the United States is altered or delayed.Making the whole point of birth certificates a failure and a mess.

    Because what you describe is how every single birth certificate in the U.S. is generated.

    Hermitian: Obama claims that he received two certified copies.These would therefore be duplicate copies of his original birth certificate and thus marked as delayed or altered.

  157. Paper says:

    And, yet again, you let Orly Taitz wander into court without the benefit of your proof? You’re telling us that over 100 cases have been dismissed or lost simply because you haven’t shared your proof?

    (Please let us know if your proof is in addition to your already mentioned observation here that the certificates are altered or delayed because you think original birth certificates are “duplicate copies.”)

    Hermitian: Nope!I stated that there is absolute proof that Obama’s original birth certificate is either altered or delayed.

    That should have been “undelayed,” not “unrelated.”

  161. The Magic M says:

    Hermitian: “The Attendant could not have signed it on August 8, 1961 certifying that the child was born on August 4, 1961 if the child was born one year earlier”.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Wrong! Zullo has evidence of children who were awarded Hawaii Certificates of Live Births up to 2 years after they were born out of country.

    Apples and oranges. Because those children would not have “born in Hawaii” on their COLBs, let alone the name of a Hawaiian hospital as place of birth.

    The “anyone can get a Hawaiian COLB” meme has always been intellectually dishonest from the start – because it omits the most important part “… stating their ACTUAL place of birth”.

    That birthers claim Hawaii is, for some nefarious reason, issuing Hawaiian COLBs to people born out-of-state wrongly stating they were born in Hawaii is still just that – an unproven claim.
    Tellingly, the only case of a foreign-born person with a Hawaiian COLB stating Hawaiian birth that birthers ever could find was from 1904, more than half a century before Hawaii became a state.
    And of course, by that logic, no BC in the entire US would be credible anymore if you think one isolated case decades ago somehow taints the entire system of birth certificates.

  162. The Magic M says:

    Hermitian: Onaka failed to verify the President’s date of birth for Arizona SOS Bennett. He also refused to verify that

    You keep quoting HRS 338-18, so you should know that

    (1) the law says Hawaii must confirm the data they are asked for; Bennett did not ask for the DOB (one may wonder why, but he didn’t).
    The law simply doesn’t authorize Onaka to verify things he isn’t asked for.

    (2) the law also says Hawaii must confirm the data they are asked for is as it appears on the vital record, in plain English: “it matches”. He does not have to confirm anything about “true and accurate copies” or “identical to” with regard to copies of copies of copies of something Hawaii once gave out.

    You still have to explain how information can match, yet not be a “true and accurate copy” in your world.

    You keep believing there is something on the BC that magically invalidates all the things Onaka confirmed (as a stupid example, a huge “VOID” stamp). But that is exactly why Hawaiian law does not tell Onaka to confirm “true and accurate copy” or “identical to”.

    Let’s take The Donald’s BC as an example. It says “VOID” all over it. But not because it’s actually void, but because that’s a security feature that is supposed to stop someone from using a xerox copy as the original.
    However his birth state could still confirm that all the data on this “void” copy matches exactly what is in their files.
    They could not confirm it is “identical to” or a “true and accurate copy” because then they would effectively say that the original document also is stamped “VOID”, which it isn’t.

    Do you understand this important difference?

  163. Lupin says:

    The Magic M: Do you understand this important difference?

    I doubt Hermitian can. His oil doesn’t reach his dipstick.

  164. Paper says:

    The original is safely stored, untroubled. He does not refuse to show it. He doesn’t have it. The original documents do not even belong to him, just as your original and my original do not belong to us. They belong to the respective states.

    He showed the actual certified copies in public. As has been pointed out to you, Savannah Guthrie touched one, photographed one. That is the definition of public.

    Hermitian:
    Then he refuses to show the original or the certified copies to the public.So what’s he hiding?

  165. Paper says:

    Magic M, well put. I knew there was a reason I just went to sleep last night, instead of continuing. I couldn’t have put it as well as you did.

  166. Paper says:

    While you are fretting about Arizona not asking for Obama’s date of birth, Hermitian, please remember Mississippi’s receipt of verification from Hawaii, which has no such concern. See the very other post here that you currently are commenting upon, viz. Mississippi. Plus, there is Kansas; I haven’t reviewed Kansas myself yet, but there it is, another verification.

    How do you think it is valuable to worry irrelevant details made moot by other overriding facts? Again, close to being a rhetorical question, but I think that actually the rhetorical questions are the ones I’d most like to hear you discuss. How do you get around such basic roadblocks to your assumptions?

    Really? Zullo has evidence of children who were awarded COLBs 2 years after being born, where those COLBs were filed mere days after birth? Or were the birthdates recorded on the certificates as being 2 years after the real date of birth?

  169. The Magic M says:

    Paper: How do you think it is valuable to worry irrelevant details made moot by other overriding facts?

    It’s called a straw man. The ID crowd uses the same when they think pointing out errors Darwin made 150 years ago (long since corrected) somehow gives them an argument against evolution as it is seen today (which is akin to claiming because the ancient Greeks didn’t understand infinitesimal mathematics, mathematics as a science today is bogus).

    For the same reason, birthers obsess with other irrelevant anecdotal bits of information, like a single source mis-stating Obama’s birth hospital.

  170. Rickey says:

His parents split up when he was an infant and his mother took him and his sister to Illinois, where she remarried and her second husband adopted him. His surname was changed to his adoptive father’s name, but he never got his birth certificate changed.

    Of course (and this is the point which birthers never seem to get) the ONLY thing which was altered on the new copy of his birth certificate was his surname. His date of birth, place of birth, and the names of his parents remained the same.

    Another reason for an altered birth certificate would be if paternity is unknown or disputed at the time of birth and is determined later.

Moreover by HDOH regulation and Hawaii law they can only be created upon receipt by the HDOH of a request for a certified copy from a qualified requester.

    Another “see no evil” Obot who skips right over the quotation marks.

    The first quote is from the verification request of Arizona SOS Bennett.

    The second quote is from the verification request of Kansas SOS Kobach

    Onaka refused to verify both requests.

  182. That remark is birther speak for “Onaka said the same thing in different words.” Birthers lack the flexibility to understand meaning and context. It’s why they are birthers. And this is why most things birthers say are worthless to normal people.

    Hermitian: Onaka refused to verify both requests.

  183. I may have missed it, and I would appreciate being informed if I did, but I am not aware of Zullo presenting any evidence of this nature. If you are saying Zullo has evidence that he has not presented, then I would laugh in your face pointing out that Zullo is a credulous birther who has presented demonstrably false evidence before. His credibility is below zero.

    I couldn’t make sense of your second paragraph, first sentence. Birth reports are filed and then birth certificates are subsequently issued. This is how it always is. The second sentence is correct. The third is somewhat confusing; a certified copy has a stamp and seal. The State of Hawaii has issued non-certified copies of birth certificates on occasion, sans stamp and seal.

    Hermitian: Really?Zullo has evidence of children who were awarded COLBs 2 years after being born, where those COLBs were filed mere days after birth?Or were the birthdates recorded on the certificates as being 2 years after the real date of birth?

You really shouldn’t just make this stuff up as you go along.

  184. Obama didn’t submit any birth certificate images to a Federal District Court. If you are confused about Mississippi, I note that the submissions in that case were made BEFORE the defense was representing the President. The Mississippi Democratic Party Executive committee presented two copies of the LFBC to a federal district court. The President did not.

    Even so, it was Orly Taitz who first submitted a poor copy of the LFBC as evidence of forgery. The Defense who submitted a true copy of the LFBC was not offering it as evidence. Your “clear violation of the Best Evidence Rule” might apply to Orly Taitz, but it is laughably inept, stupid and willfully ignorant of the facts to say that Obama (not even represented at that time) or the MDP attorneys violated any rules providing a true and accurate copy. The issue of Obama’s eligibility is not even before the court, much less is the case in any evidentiary phase. The question before the court is whether to dismiss the case for any number of other reasons.

    The hopelessly confused Hermitian makes the worthless comment:: Obama substituted two different LFCOLB PDF images for his two certified copies in a Federal District Court. That is a clear violation of the Best Evidence Rule.

    Hermitian: The word “standing” appears no where in the U.S. Constitution. “Standing” is a concept that the courts invented just to control their work load.

    The Constitution is not the entirety of the law The concept of standing is an ancient one, as old as the law itself. Think about this-your car and Doc’s car collide-can I sue? Of course I cannot, because I was not involved in the accident and neither my car nor my person was damaged. According to you, I should be able to sue over every car accident that happened within 100 miles of me.

  199. gorefan says:

    Hermitian: These definitions given in the regulations are in conflict with the definitions given in the laws that you cited but these are the standing regulations of the HDOH and laws of Hawaii. So take your pick.

    The conflict in definitions is inconsequential. Especially as it applies to President Obama’s birth certificate.

    Chapter 8A and 338-16 definitions for late/delayed certificates only apply to non-recorded births. Dr. Onaka has verified that President Obama’s was born at “Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital” and it was recorded on August 8, 1961. There is no dispute about that.

    The term “altered’ is applied to birth certificates amended after they have been submitted to the DOH (Chapter 8B and 338-16). But again there is little information that could have been altered that would impact Presidential eligiblity.

    We know the place of birth and date of birth could not have been amended.

    Hermitian: But Onaka did not verify the date of Obama’s birth for Bennett.

    What part of “I verify that the information in the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama that you attached with your request matches the original record in our files.” do you not understand?

    On the LFCOLB submittted by SoS Bennett to Dr. Onaka, the entry in box 5a is “August 4, 1961”. What other date would match that? Would January 5, 1959 be a match? How about July 3, 1964?

    Hermitian: Wrong! Zullo has evidence of children who were awarded Hawaii Certificates of Live Births up to 2 years after they were born out of country.

    That means nothing as he has not shown any such birth certificates.

    In an interview with ABC15, Zullo made three erroneous statements in less than seven minutes. One of those statements contradicted what he said in the press conference the day before.

    In his recent afffidavit, he mischaracterized Executive Order 13489.

    BTW, do you know who Michael Nifong is?

    Comment

    “Obama didn’t submit any birth certificate images to a Federal District Court. If you are confused about Mississippi, I note that the submissions in that case were made BEFORE the defense was representing the President. The Mississippi Democratic Party Executive committee presented two copies of the LFBC to a federal district court. The President did not.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Obama was a named defendant in the plaintiff’s FAC which was filed on 04/24/12. He was also a named defendant in the SOS’s order of removal filed on that same date. The Page 8 LFCOLB (WH LFCOLB+Case Label) was filed on 05/04/2012. Just because Obama chose not to initially respond to the law suit does not mean that he wasn’t a defendant. Also who hired Tepper to join the defense team and who was paying Tepper for his services? Take up your beef with the court.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “Even so, it was Orly Taitz who first submitted a poor copy of the LFBC as evidence of forgery. The Defense who submitted a true copy of the LFBC was not offering it as evidence.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Taitz’s claim was that the WH LFCOLB PDF image was a forgery. It follows that the authenticity of the image was a controversy of the case. In the case of a motion for judgement on the pleadings, the court must accept the the plaintiffs initial complaints as fact. Consequently, for this case the operative date is Apr. 27, 2011 when Obama first published his LFCOLB PDF.

    This case is no different than if an owner of a grocery store sued one of his customers for passing counterfeit bills to purchase his groceries. In this particular case, a considerable time had expired between the first time that a fake bill was passed until the owner discovered through his bank that multiple counterfeit bills had been discovered in a number of his daily deposits. It then took the grocer additional time to identify which of his customers was passing the counterfeit bills. Because this customer was a property owner and also had investment assets the grocer immediately brought suit in civil court to recover his losses from the counterfeiter. As evidence of his losses the owner of the grocery produced all of the counterfeit bills to the court as exhibits in his initial complaint. However after the grocer received notice from his bank and covered the bank’s losses he had learned that the same counterfeiter had also passed other counterfeit bills of the same denomination to other merchants in his area. Some of these incidents occurred well before the counterfeiter first passed his counterfeit bills in the plaintiff’s grocery. However, like his own case, these earlier incidents had not been initially detected and the losses were relatively small so all these other merchants chose not to attempt to identify the counterfeiter after the fact.

    In his answer to the complaint the forger’s attorney chose the path of denying that the counterfeit bills were produced by his client. As an exhibit, the forger’s attorney produced a single, new improved bill of the same denomination that his client had just produced.

    Was the forger’s new improved bill evidence?
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Your “clear violation of the Best Evidence Rule” might apply to Orly Taitz, but it is laughably inept, stupid and willfully ignorant of the facts to say that Obama (not even represented at that time) or the MDP attorneys violated any rules providing a true and accurate copy.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Obama is an original defendant in a Rico case. Who says that the two LFCOLB PDF images are not evidence? I don’t remember any such ruling.

    Do you recognize this title?

    “White House birth certificate: not identical to original”
    “By Dr. Conspiracy on January 5, 2013in Birth Certificate”

    I believe that it is your contention that the WH LFCOLB PDF image was a scanned image of one of the two certified copies. But it is not identical because the PDF file was passed through an MRC optimizer. Consequently it has no evidentiary value because it is not a certified copy.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    “The issue of Obama’s eligibility is not even before the court, much less is the case in any evidentiary phase. The question before the court is whether to dismiss the case for any number of other reasons.”

    “The hopelessly confused Hermitian makes the worthless comment:: Obama substituted two different LFCOLB PDF images for his two certified copies in a Federal District Court. That is a clear violation of the Best Evidence Rule.”

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Then why is the Mississippi Secretary of State still a defendant when he is not a named defendant in the Rico case?
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Usually COLB applies to the “Certification of Live Birth” which is the short form. To discriminate most people use LFCOLB for the original long-form hospital-generated “standard” birth certificate. It’s the latter which are kept on file.

  203. Northland10 says:

    Hermitian: Wrong! Zullo has evidence of children who were awarded Hawaii Certificates of Live Births up to 2 years after they were born out of country.

    Funny how you take Zullo at his word with absolutely no evidence to back up his claim. He has shown you nothing, yet you will use his claim as proof.

    As it happens, maybe he does have evidence of children who were issued (awarded?) a Birth Certificate from Hawaii 2 years after their birth. What he has not said is whether said Birth Certificates state the children were born or Hawaii or born in a foreign country. Yes, some states will issue, under certain circumstances, a delayed birth certificate for a child born in a foreign country. These certificates, however, list the actual country where they were born and state “delayed” on the certificate.

    Zullo may be telling the truth, but leaving out a rather important part. He did not say that he has evidence of birth certificates for child of a foreign birth that state they were born in Hawaii. You argue the smallest detail about what the President, his staff, or Hawaii have stated or provided, but accept Zullo’s statement without even a single question.

    What’s your point. If it doesn’t meet the regulations in Hawaii then how could it possibly apply to Obama?

    Unless you a saying that Obama was born in New York.

  208. Hermitian says:

    Dr. Conspiracy: I may have missed it, and I would appreciate being informed if I did, but I am not aware of Zullo presenting any evidence of this nature. If you are saying Zullo has evidence that he has not presented, then I would laugh in your face pointing out that Zullo is a credulous birther who has presented demonstrably false evidence before. His credibility is below zero.

    The quote starts at 1:18 near the end of the first Arpaio/Posse Press briefing video. Zullo stated that he has proof of two children who received Hawaii birth certificates as newborns three years after their birth in a foreign country. He implied that they also have others.

    Bennett and Kobach both asked Onaka to verify statements that they provided.

    The law is perfectly clear.

    338-14.3 Verification in lieu of a certified copy. (a) Subject to the requirements of section 338-18, the department of health, upon request, shall furnish to any applicant, in lieu of the issuance of a certified copy, a verification of the existence of a certificate and any other information that the applicant provides to be verified relating to the vital event that pertains to the certificate.

    (b) A verification shall be considered for all purposes certification that the vital event did occur and that the facts of the event are as stated by the applicant.

    (c) Verification may be made in written, electronic, or other form approved by the director of health.

    (d) The fee for a verification in lieu of a certified copy shall be a maximum of one half of the fee established in section 338-14.5 for the first certified copy of a certificate issued.

    (e) Fees received for verifications in lieu of certified copies shall be remitted, and one half of the fee shall be deposited to the credit of the vital statistics improvement special fund in section 338-14.6 and the remainder of the fee shall be deposited to the credit of the state general fund. [L 2001, c 246, 1; am L 2010, c 55, 1]

    This statute requires that Onaka “shall furnish to any applicant, in lieu of the issuance of a certified copy, a verification of any other information that the applicant provides to be verified”

    “shall furnish” is mandatory. He doesn’t get to rewrite their requests. A simple yes or no is required.

  210. Only a fool would trust Mike Zullo.

    Hermitian: The quote starts at 1:18 near the end of the first Arpaio/Posse Press briefing video. Zullo stated that he has proof of two children who received Hawaii birth certificates as newborns three years after their birth in a foreign country. He implied that they also have others.

    Hmm just like they claimed to have a recording of Verna Lee. Just like Corsi claimed he had dozens of such certificates but never presented proof of such. Just like he claimed to have information from the US Ambassador asking Kenya if they had any birth records for Obama but then never presented it. Just as Zullo said they had the 1961 coding for the birth certificate when it was actually the 1969 coding. You’re a fool to keep trusting people who take you for being gullible.

How were these persons identified, how were their documents obtained? Do they have a support group for artifical Hawaiians? 😛

    [Reporter] What about his birth announcements in the Hawaii newspapers?

    [Pornstache – sotto voce] I can answer those, I can answer this one.

    [Shurf – sotto voce] Answer that one.

    [Shurf] Thanks for that question! *chuckle*

    [Pornstache] I was hoping that one didn’t come up! The birth announcements and that uh, birth registry, which is just, uh, line items. We have informa — not information; we have evidence — and we can prove beyond a doubt that not only are foreign births registered in those birth announcements and the line item registrations, we also know and have informa– not information, let me correct myself, we also have documented evidence of two adopted individuals that were breathing three years prior were listed as newborn infants.

    it’s not creditable because it doesn’t tell us anything. We know a birth took place, and and, oh, maybe a little homework to clear it up. In 2000… [unintelligible] Let me finish! That’s the newspapers; the way that happens, it happens with the newspapers! There’s no distinction as to where someone was born, there’s no distinction if they were adopted, they’re just listed. it’s not creditable information.

    In 2000, the Inspector General issued a report about the rampant problem of birth certificate fraud. And within the opening paragraphs of his report, he states that a birth certificate’s intended purpose was only to register the event of a live birth, not anything else, and in and of itself is not creditable information to prove identification or citizenship. There has to be other documentation to be considered. That’s right from the government.

    That’s not what the transcript said. Zullo was talking about the birth announcements in the papers, and said that the two adopted individuals were listed IN THE NEWSPAPER as infants even though they were toddlers. http://www.scribd.com/doc/83474057/Arpaio-Transcript-1-MAR-12, page 45. Zullo didn’t say that they got Hawaii birth certificates that said they were newborns, or that the birth certificate says they were infants. He said you couldn’t tell from the birth announcements in the paper if the child was an infant or a toddler.

    I bet that’s why Zullo has never shown even redacted birth certificates of these children — because the birth certificate shows a delayed filing, and that doesn’t fit his narrative.

There has to be other documentation to be considered.” (Good work, LW, I hate doing that myself!)

    he doesn’t realize (because, I suppose, he’s a willful idiot) that an official verification from the authority responsible for the vital records would serve quite nicely as that “other documentation”, and overcomes the threat of forgery described in the report.

  233. aesthetocyst says:

    Whatever4: I bet that’s why Zullo has never shown even redacted birth certificates of these children

    I bet he didn’t show them .. because he certainly didn’t have them. How would he? Just pop into HDOH and request BCs for names out of the paper? Or harrass those individuals too and drag them to HDOH? Heh.

    Papers now have separate sections for adoption announcements. Did they in the early 60s? I don’t know. If he was pulling names from announcements labelled as adoptions, then this just gets dumber and dumber.

    Second, I never suggested that what I was saying about New York had anything to do with Obama’s birth certificate. I was just bringing up an example of a state issuing an altered birther certificate and the reason why it was done.

    All of it. The word “matches” is problematic in a court of law. What is left when you rule out “is identical to” and “is a true and accurate representation of the original record in your files.”

    The Hawaii law does not permit Onaka to rewrite the information that the applicant seeks to verify.

    What is clear is that the two LFCOLB PDF images filed by the MDEC attorneys are not duplicate copies.

    Dave B.: When Zullo says

    “within the opening paragraphs of his report, he states that a birth certificate’s intended purpose was only to register the event of a live birth, not anything else, and in and of itself is not creditable information to prove identification or citizenship. There has to be other documentation to be considered.”

    Intellectually dishonest since to “prove identification or citizenship”, you use e.g. your passport, not your original long long long form vault BC.

    Besides, didn’t birthers claim McCain had to show his BC to prove his eligibility? Then what “other documentation” did he show if his BC allegedly wasn’t enough?

    People like Zullo are guilty of the same thing deluded birthers like Butterdezillion accuse Hawaii of – hiding important information behind what they don’t say.
    As in saying “foreign-born people can get a Hawaiian COLB” and omitting “showing they were born abroad, not in Hawaii”.

    Rickey: No, I didn’t forget about Sibley, a loser who has made a career of failed SCOTUS petitions. In case you missed it, his cert petition in his lawsuit against the D.C. Board of Elections was denied on January 7. He does have an active cert petition in his lawsuit against Obama (in which he couldn’t even spell the President’s name correctly), but Obama has waived his right to respond. When the petition gets scheduled for a conference without any of the justices calling for a response, it will mean that Sibley’s petition is doomed. You heard it here first.

    No. 12-736
    Title:
    Montgomery Blair Sibley, Petitioner
    v.
    Barak H. Obama, President of the United States, et al.
    Docketed:December 14, 2012
    Lower Ct:United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Case Nos.:(12-5198) Decision Date:December 6, 2012

    ~~~Date~~~~~~~~~~ProceedingsandOrders~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Dec 12 2012Petition for a writ of certiorari filed. (Response due January 14, 2013)
    Dec 12 2012Motion to expedite consideration of the petition for a writ of certiorari filed by petitioner.
    Dec 19 2012Motion DISTRIBUTED for Conference of January 11, 2013.
    Jan 14 2013Motion to expedite consideration filed by petitioner DENIED.
    Jan 14 2013Waiver of right of respondents Barak H. Obama, President of the United States, et al. to respond filed.

    I’m perfectly happy to wait and see. If Sibley is denied again it just means that SCOTUS has just dug their hole deeper. There will soon follow another petition. The truth always comes out sooner or later.

    aesthetocyst: I bet he didn’t show them .. because he certainly didn’t have them. How would he? Just pop into HDOH and request BCs for names out of the paper? Or harrass those individuals too and drag them to HDOH? Heh.

    Papers now have separate sections for adoption announcements. Did they in the early 60s? I don’t know. If he was pulling names from announcements labelled as adoptions, then this just gets dumber and dumber.

    No wonder he said he “was hoping that one didn’t come up” LOL

    Maybe Jerome Corsi really is a top-notch researcher. He was on board for the first Hawaii trip.

    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    A original hospital-generated (standard) birth certificate or a certified copy of same are at best prima facie evidence. This type of evidence is the lowest standard of all. It is not backed up by any effort to verify the facts on the document’s face by the issuing agency.
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    My theory, that belongs to me, is as follows:

    The CCP, team of cracked investigators that they are, found some paid announcements in the paper that were not from the Health Bureau Statistics listing given to the papers, as opposed to Obama’s announcement, which we know was derived from the Health Bureau Statistics listing given to the papers.

    Until Zullo coughs up with more info (in other words, “for the foreseeable future”), this is certainly as likely as any other theory, and neither provable nor disprovable.

    That is my theory, it is mine, and belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is too.

  242. Obama was not named in the initial Mississippi lawsuit. When Orly added her RICO complaint she added Obama but she never obtained summons from the court and never even attempted to serve the President prior to the MDEC filing of the birth certificate. It’s not a matter of ignoring anything, since he had not been served.

    This is very different from what happened in Georgia. There Obama was represented in the action by counsel (who did not show up for the hearing before Malihi, but did file briefs).

    I am not at liberty to tell you what I can swear to or not swear to.

    Hermitian:
    And you can swear that no order given by Obama caused Tepper to join the MDEC defense team?

    Failure to respond to law suits is the same tactic that Obama used in Georgia. In that case, he bailed out on the only hearing allowed by Judge Mahili.

  243. Name one.

    You’re pathetic. Unfounded claims need proof, not disproof.

    I spent a fair amount of effort trying to find a single newspaper report of vital records fraud in the State of Hawaii. Never found one. Have you?

    Now, here’s a question for you? Did Zullo ever mention these Japanese kids in his affidavit? IF not, why not?

    Hermitian:
    Watch the last video. Zullo also has evidence of 1000 Japanese children who were born in Japan but were awarded a Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth after the fact.
