“Am I wrong to assume that if a Republican Senator had spoken up before the last cloture vote and demanded a copy of ‘the chosen-in-Soros’-mind-one’s’ Birth Certificate and College records that it would have caused Mayhem in Congress and stopped the Health Care Bill from any further votes?”

Yes, you are wrong. It's not a TV show where George Bailey's dramatic passion will sway everyone. The Senate runs on Parliamentary procedure, and there is no meaningful mechanism in that procedure to realize the scenario you suggest. Just because we don't like a bill being passed, don't assume the Republicans had some magical power to stop it and simply didn't try hard enough.

Further, and I know the people on these threads don't like to hear this, the birth certificate issue has no traction outside the circle of its dedicated proponents. The GOP senators won't bring it up in a major way because they believe that, far from being a magic bullet, it will make them look foolish. I know people don't want to hear this either, but I think that judgment is correct.

The Birth Certificate issue will be part of the on-going court battles. When one, and one eventually will have to be heard, either by the some action like the Chrysler or GM dealers or another venue, the forged documents will be brought up and Obama will have to produce what he has hidden and sealed.
Keeping it in the public’s view that he is spending money on it, doesn’t help him in the least.
Why would Obama be fighting any lawsuit, if he already produced a valid document?

Well, tired and old and still a conservative, thanks for clearing that up for me.

But it’s gonna happen . . . the more people he alienates, the more people are going to want to bring him down a few pegs.

And I still think his original BC says “race: Caucasian”

One day we’ll find out, I’m sure.
