......If there were any merits to the case...you can be assured that the US Supreme Court would have visited it...but there weren´t and they said so.....

The case has never been decided on the merits...I suggest you keep reading and learning about US Laws...as a lawyer once told me a little knowledge of the law can be a dangerouse thing...and don’t forget the law is an a$$.

U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick dismissed the complaint in October 2008, finding that Berg lacked standing to bring the case and that his attempts to gain standing to pursue his claim were “frivolous and not worthy of discussion.”

Thomas Goldstein, who has argued numerous
cases before the court and covers Supreme Court cases, commented that “The law has always been understood to be, if you are born here, you’re a natural born citizen. And that is particularly true in this case, when you have a U.S. citizen parent like Barack Obama’s mother”.

On March 5, 2009, a lawsuit filed by Philip Berg on behalf of Gregory S.Hollister, a retired Air Force colonel, was dismissed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The presiding judge,
James Robertson, said the case was a waste of the court’s time, calling Berg and another lawyer “agents provocateurs” and their local counsel, James Hemenway, “a foot soldier in their crusade.” He ordered Hemenway to show cause why he should not pay the legal fees for Obama’s attorney
as a penalty for filing a complaint “for an improper purpose such as to harass.”

There are many things you can complain about on Obama..his birth situation is not one of them.
