I think this probably answers your question:

In October 2008, Leo Donofrio, an attorney from New Jersey, filed suit against Nina Mitchell Wells to challenge the eligibility of Obama, Republican presidential candidate John McCain (see details here) and the Socialist Workers Party candidate Roger Calero. Donofrio asserted that all three candidates were ineligible: Obama due to having dual U.S. and British nationality at birth (the latter via Obama’s father), McCain due to being born in the Panama Canal Zone, and Calero due to allegedly still having Nicaraguan citizenship.

Donofrio was not among those who claimed Obama might have been born outside Hawaii. Also, Donofrio did not challenge the fact that Obama is a U.S. citizen and instead challenged only whether Obama is a natural-born citizen.

The case was referred to the Supreme Court by Justice Clarence Thomas. When the case reached the United States Supreme Court on December 8, 2008, the Court declined without comment to hear it.

Lord you are dense. Do you really think we don’t already know the history of the case against Obama? We were here, in the trenches, donating money to those bringing suit. Where were you? Helping write an amicus brief for Axelrod? LOL
