Thank you for the ping!
This administrative law judge is treating the defendant as no more than a (insert your favorite expletive here) politician who is on the campaign trail. Singing at the Apollo may have been a tap dance too far.
One hopes the subpoena provides he is to bring a certified copy of a BC for examination by the court. If so, and a professional examination reveals no defects, then he is on the ballot pending resolution of the foreign father element. Alas, there has been any number of years to prepare such a document; in which event, the “original of it” no doubt resides in the HI archives.
However, if the examination identifies defects, or if he doesn’t produce such a document, he ought to be toast! (At least in GA.)
He will present a forged BC legally certified by the HDOH if he provides anything at all.
And if that’s good enough for the judge we’re in trouble.
I am getting a little afraid this is going to be an "accepted as normal" issue, regardless of the Constitution.
I am not a big Santorum fan but my jaw dropped during last night's debates when I heard him talk (not verbatim)about his 7 year old father in the arms of his grandfather arriving in the country as Italian immigrants.
