Obama Birth Certificate: Where art thou?

As I postulated in my post of 22Sept (Previous Post something very fishy is up with BHO and his citizenship.

Quick background. BHO has provided a 'Birth Certificate' from Hawaii. Any professional forensic document expert who has voiced an opinion seems to say it is as FORGED as the Dan Rather letters. It is missing key markers that a valid one should have, and an official from the Hawaii Dept of Records is quoted as saying, basically, it is not one of theirs. According to Hawaii law, only BHO or his family can request a copy - so the public is locked out.

It seems most likely that little Barry was actually born in Kenya - not Hawaii. And, as the law at the time required, his mother was too young to confer citizenship US on him. Also, Barry was later adopted by an Indonesian man. He later enrolled in school in Jakarta, with the a last name other than Obama - and listing his citizenship as 'Indonesian'. This adoption, apparently, would have nullified his US citizenship.

So, how is the public to REALLY know? You can scour the blogs - and find everything from BHO's own websites, to newspapers, to self-described 'experts', to the '9/11 was an inside job' crowd. My wife asked how this can happen. Turns out, I don't think there is an official 'show us your Presidential qualifications' committee. It looks like filing a lawsuit, and demanding the proper documentation, is the only way.

To wit, a Mr. Berg (Democrat and Hillary supported) filed a lawsuit in August to force Obama to produce a real copy of his birth certificate.(He tried to get it done prior to the Dem convention). The DNC and Obama filed a motion to dismiss last week. That motion is still pending. Status here

It is curious that Obama would file a motion to dismiss, rather that produce a verifiable copy of his birth certificate. UNLESS, he is simply unable to do so. Also of some note, the lawyer BHO hired previously worked for CAIR - the Council for American Islamic Relations, a group that is purported to have wide and deep ties to terrorist organizations. BHO chose, for some reason, not to hire a Immigration type lawyer, but one with ties to CAIR.

Now, should the lawsuit NOT be dismissed (I know nothing about Judge Surrick, the presiding judge) things could get very interesting. Who knows the protocol here? Who can demand a candidate prove he is a citizen? I would assume only SCOTUS would be in such a position. Now, SCOTUS normally only takes cases on appeal - and then not as a finder of facts, but only to review procedure and such.

If this suit stays alive (and even it dismissed in the current venue) - I am just curious if the wheels of justice can move fast enough to get this heard by SCOTUS prior to the election.

One last question - if the suit survives and is obviously going somewhere, WHEN will you read about in the New York Times or hear about it from perky like Ms. Couric?
