Bob, Mr. Newcomer's allegations re the .pdf of the BC are irrelevant. Has he examined the original?
See, I work in the legal system (paralegal with Dept of National Defence Feb 1996 to present) and the courts do not look at e-documents as fraudulent, provided they match the "hard copy", or if the metadata for the document does not show that it has been altered substantively. You may wish to take a look at the
Sedona Conferences comments and principles with respect to E-discovery and what is needed with respect to the acceptance of electronic documents in courts in both Canada and the US.
Generally though, courts prefer the printed version of documents, and certified copies are just as good as originals. In this matter, the President has provided a certified copy of his Birth Certificate, and in any court on the planet, not just in the US, this would be accepted as correct.
If you wish to allege that the certified-by-the-issuing-authority document is fraudulent, then YOU need to demonstrate that. The burden of proof is on YOU to do so.
You have also handwaved the technical explanations of a technical issue (how to analyze a pdf file to determine if it has layers, or object groups) as "technobabble" which makes about as much sense as telling your mechanic to stop using "technobabble" when he or she tries to explain why the engine light keeps coming on. If you aren't willing to listen to people who actually know something about the topic at hand, then why raise the points?
