A brand-new chapter dawns in the birther controversy over President Obama’s hidden birth certificate.

The Hawaii legislature has now officially passed a measure that would allow state officials to legally ignore each month’s dozens of repeated requests by persons or organizations seeking to see the infant Obama’s actual birth certificate.

For personal privacy reasons the certificate resides under government lock and key in Hawaii and, as is his right, Obama has never authorized its release.

Oh boy. — Greg Pollowitz
