CHICAGO — The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case embraced by many opponents of Obama's election. The meeting of justices will coincide with a vigil by the filer's supporters in Washington on the steps of the nation's highest court. The suit originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells. Legal experts say the appeal holds little chance for success, despite appearing on the court's Dec. 5 schedule. Legal records show it is only the tip of an iceberg of nationwide efforts seeking to derail Obama's election over accusations that he either wasn't born a U.S. citizen or that he later renounced his citizenship in Indonesia. The Obama campaign has maintained that he was born in Hawaii, has an authentic birth certificate, and is a "natural-born" U.S. citizen. Hawaiian officials agree. Among those filing lawsuits is Alan Keyes, who lost to Obama in the 2004 Illinois Senate race. Keyes' suit seeks to halt certification of votes in California. Another suit by a Kentucky man seeks to have a federal judge review the copy of Obama's original birth certificate — which Hawaii officials say is locked in a state vault. Other suits have been filed by Andy Martin, whose case was dismissed in Hawaii, and by a man in Ohio whose case also was dismissed. Five more cases have been filed and dismissed in Hawaii by a person currently suing the "Peoples Association of Human, Animals Conceived God/s and Religions, John McCain (and) USA Govt." The plaintiff previously sought to sue Wikipedia and "All News Media." The most famous case questioning Obama's citizenship was filed in Pennsylvania in

If they don’t it will signal the end. That doesn’t mean I won’t continue to fight.
Fine. Ignore it. In that case, every molecule in my body will be dedicated to overturning this coup and destroying anything it attempts to erect.
No.
Well, no, they don't. All they said is that they have his certificate of birth, and that nobody is allowed to see it. Stop lying about what was said.
Ditto
At least they are TALKING about it.
At least, that's what would happen in a FREE COUNTRY.
yup. what hospital was he born at? I know what hospital I was born at. It’s a fair question.
In all seriousness, how can the High Court NOT? Is there anything more important that this at the moment?
This is, as we all know, not true.
The Hawaiian officials have stated that Obama has a Birth Certificate on file. They have said not a word about where he was born. They could have done that quite easily but they didn't. One would think that even those on the Left would be curious as to why Obama refuses to release his real Birth Certificate. I think they are actually as curious as you and I but they are afraid of what they would find. That's the difference.
I hope they do, so this issue will finally be resolved. He’s going to end up being sued on end until he shows the BC, better now than after an inauguration.

Then prove it in a court of law, not in the court of public opinion.
Although I am not optimistic about the Supremes issuing a ruling that throws the election out of whack, my gut is quite sure that he can not prove he is qualified to hold this office under the US Constitution.
This issue SHOULD haunt him every single day of his term.
He is a fraud and he knows it. He’s scamming the system.
You know, this is real simple. The American people want to know if Obama is eligible to run for POTUS. To not determine this and to possibly find out later he is not will cause many more problems down the road. Unless it is some peoples wish to destroy the greatest country in the world.
No
And the PROPAGANDIST PRESS won't even ask him the question lest they be banished?
And you all thought this was a free country.
But the $100,000 question is.....
How long if they do take it up, will they make a decision?
Before he takes office? Smart choice
Or after he takes office? Unwise choice
My guess is that the best we can hope for is that the SCOTUS may rule that since the SoS of NJ didn't do "due dilligence," because the SoS allowed a known non-citizen on the ballot as a 3rd party candidate, they may throw out the election results for POTUS and disqualify the electors for NJ. But that wouldn't swing the election to McCain.
I'm fairly certain that they won't do anything more than that (and they probably won't even do that) because they know that there would be nation-wide riots, and possibly a new "civil war," if it were determined that Obama were disqualified from taking office. Never mind that it would poison the election system even more so than it is now. I think that "the end" actually came some time ago, and we just didn't notice.

NO, NO, NEVER!!
No.
Next question...
