WYSIWYG

...  when Obama and his lawyer wrote a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp last week refusing to attend the hearing on Obama’s eligibility status, they included a copy of the image that the White House released last April.

They also sent a copy to the court of Judge Michael Malihi, the hearing officer, whose ruling is expected to be made available in the next few days.

That act, Taitz explained, effectively gave the court a copy of the White House documentation, and under ordinary rules of evidence the opposing side is supposed to have access to the original to verify the authenticity of the purported copy.

“They submitted a copy and said this is a copy of the original birth certificate. Now the other party has a right to examine the original,” she said. ['Green light' to see Obama's Hawaii files]

WYSIWYG I didn't know that Obama's lawyers included his April 2011 birth certificate.  I think even I would have recognized the  openining they gave the prosecution.  I find all this simply deleicious.  The chances of that last released certificate being real are zero (0) .

This could get interesting. Using the "Best Evidence Rule", it sounds like she has a shot. Gray area though, since the copy of the BC was sent directly to the judge, and not admitted during the hearing.

This is what happens when you have a claque of minority hires. Eventually, you have to have SOMEONE who didn't sleep through class.

. . . .Or a certified copy of the original document on file, but not a copy of the certified copy.

Or, actually attended class.
