Well since it's in, what is that French? I would guess that it's significance as it applies to US law is zero
The US Supreme Court has affirmed the Law of Nations (droit des gens) has been a part of our laws for over 200 years. The Obama supporters wants this information kept hidden.
Why?
The Law of Nations..Chapter XIX...."natural born citizens are born to citizen parents. A nation cannot perpetuate itself unless its citizens are born from citizens."

George Washington: “Prosecute all crimes against the Law of Nations”
As Napoleon put it: Don't stop an enemy who's making a mistake.
As long as you and yours keep the issue alive, you're forcing any serious Republican contender to address it. And seeing as there's no way to do that without either p.ssing off the Birthers or look like a raving lunatic, having the issue out front is win-win for Obama.
You're carrying Obama's water. And I for one couldn't be more amused.
Besides, as wrecking ball points out, the relevant authority (Hawaiian DoH) has gone on the record already. Any court would get a fresh-from-laserprinter COLB and be forced to accept it - "full faith and credit", remember?
