The ONLY conspiracy here is Obama hiding his BC. Demanding proof of natural born citizenship IS NOT A CONSPIRACY, it is a REQUIREMENT for the damn office.

[LiberConservative]

Regardless of what the SCOTUS does this needs to be addressed by CONGRESS.

[trumandogz]

In then end, Obama will say that if previous 42 men who have been president did not produce their birth certificate, that he will not produce his.

[freekitty]

So true.

[cripplecreek]

Cowardice drives the naysayers plain and simple. Fear of what will happen if something is done.

...Hawaiian state officials confirmed in October that he was born there...

There they go again.

[quintr]

Isn’t withholding the valid birth certificate a cover-up which, in turn, amounts to obstruction of justice because it perpetuates a fraud?

[marron]

The people hoping this is a sign the court will agree with them and stop Obama from becoming president are almost certain to be let down

Its not about that. Just show the birth certificate, and answer two questions: what nationality to he claim when he applied to college, and what passport did he travel on when he went to Pakistan.

Its easy. Just do it so we can all go about our business.

You might think these rumors would have died off after Obama produced proof in June that he was, in fact, born in Hawaii to an American citizen, his mother Ann, or after Hawaiian state officials confirmed in October that he was born there.

You might think that proof would consist of more than a badly forged digital image.

And state officials didn't confirm that he was born there. They can't say what they have due to privacy issues.

The longer this goes on, the more and more it is becoming apparent that Obama either isn't qualified constitutionally to be President or Obama has lied horribly about some aspect of his past.

[icwhatudo]

"Hawaiian state officials confirmed in October that he was born there."

Someone should offer Slate a million dollars to provide such a quote from Hawaiian officials saying he was born there. I am trying so hard to stay off this birth certificate issue...but these constant lies are pulling me in.

[Onelifetogive]

Or maybe Indonesia.

Who has ever said that he may have been born in Indonesia?

People have to make up "facts" when the real ones don't look good for them.

[nathanbedford]

I will leave it to others who keep pace with the latest developments in this controversy to comment on the discrepancies which even I noticed in the author's remarks. I will be content simply to observe that the whole article is written to foreclose further inquiry, to justify not releasing the original vault copy of the birth certificate.

[Earthdweller]

Come on...Salon knows that if they don't change the Constitution for Erkel the Dem party elites will vote in Hillary. Pubbies are not pushing this. Look for a certain mob of people directly in front of you ....maroons.

[Don Corleone]

You might think these rumors would have died off after Obama produced proof in June that he was, in fact, born in Hawaii to an American citizen, his mother Ann, or after Hawaiian state officials confirmed in October that he was born there.

None of the above is true.

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

This should be sooo simple that even a Dem could do it...just show your BC, Barack. That’s all there is to it.

The hard part is to show one that hasn’t been altered in any way.

[weegee]

You might think these rumors would have died off after Obama produced proof in June that he was, in fact, born in Hawaii to an American citizen,

Why isn't the "proof" passing muster with the courts? If he HAS released his birth certificate, there would be nothing to obstruct.

Lies by omission are designed to bend the truth.

I think we deserve a couple of memes that we can drag through the Obama presidency.

Any word on how the vigil at the SCOTUS is going? Are you in touch with Freepers Beckwith and RaginApache? Thanks!

[swain_forkbeard]

“Demanding proof of natural born citizenship...is a REQUIREMENT for the damn office.”

That’s the whole problem, isn’t it? The COTUS states the qualifications but remains silent on what evidence is needed
and who certifies the qualifications and when and how.

I think the SCOTUS should clear this up now and set a precedent.

[Brookhaven]

“The fact that the case has gone to conference doesn’t mean anything about its merits “

This is wishful thinking on Salon’s part. The fact that it has gotten past the first hurdle is important. SC judges just don’t take cases for the fun of it. Now that it is in the system, anything can happen.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

They’ll die as soon as he releases his birth certificate.
