No they don't "have the right to ask." Not unless someone who is a party to the lawsuit has standing. Or I guess you could say plaintiffs without standing can ask, but the court has a duty to say "Nope. You don't know the law- go away."

Look it up. It's a legal requirement.

They have the right to ask

The government doesn't have "rights." It has authorities. Those authorities are specified in laws. Government officials act illegally when they exceed their authorities.

Of course, courts are not "bureaucrats," so you're changing the subject.

On what basis did the court intrude into the process?

>>A Federal court demanded to see it. They have the right to ask.<<

DMAA -

I don't believe that is true. I don't believe any Federal Court has demanded to see Obama's birth certificate.

Perhaps you are referring to an image of a court order that was circulated, having been generated for the Philip Berg case in Pennsylvania. That order was prepared by the plaintiff, and was not signed by the judge.
