UPDATE: As I expected, the Supreme Court denied Cert for this case. So, it is over.
According to the online schedule, the Supreme Court will have a conference about the Berg lawsuit challenging Obama's citizenship, and hence his right to be President.
Now, if you want derision and name-calling - just bring this subject up on a Liberal Blog!! But, we have been following this story for months. Bottom line - I believe The Messiah was NOT born in this country, but rather in Kenya. Can I prove it? Well, his grandmother says he was born in Kenya. One of his cabinet appointees, Bill Richardson, called The Messiah an 'immigrant'. But no, I cannot prove it.
But BHO could easily do so. But, he has refused to do so in a matter that is intellectually honest and transparent. He had his minions post a bogus copy on the Internet. He got the Hawaii department of records to embargo any copies that they 'may' have. The Kenyans likewise have embargoed any records that they 'may' have.
Now, it only takes four votes by the Court to accept the case for a hearing. Do I think the Court will take the case? No, I do not. Should they? Yes, they should. This addresses a fundamental question - the constitutional fitness of a person to hold the nations highest elected office. It can only be decided by the Supreme Court.
Why won't they take it? Because it will be hard and disruptive. Think about it. What if The Messiah cannot produce a valid Birth Certificate? Talk about pandemonium! The Court telling America - 'Sorry, we know you elected this guy - but we are disqualifying him!'. Biden becomes the President. I just don't think the Court will have the balls to do it.
There is another problem, that of timing. The conference is not until 11 days before BHO is supposed to be sworn in. If this does not get done prior to that - what would the court do? Remove a sitting President?
This is all the definition of a 'Constitutional Crisis'. If this were actually going to be reviewed by the Court - It should have been done already. They could have fast-tracked it anytime. They chose not to. I do not see them wading into it now.
I feel that they have shirked their duty to the country - but, what is done (or not done) is done. Rather than end with a bang, the whole birth certificate issue will die, un-resolved, with a whimper.

I have been following this off and on. I always preface any discussion of this topic with "I realize that this puts me on par with people who deny that we landed on the moon." From what I read, I think we pretty much agree. BUT, I think I have one more small ray of hope. Alan Keyes. His case has standing (ie he was a presidential candidate who received electoral votes) and a member of the California electoral college. Both can prove direct harm by BHO and his citizenship question. It is still a long shot, BUT, his case doesn't even come up for its first hearing until March 13. Keep Hope Alive.
Personally, the strongest argument that there is something here is BHO has done EVERYTHING to fight these allegations, when they ALL would have gone away with 20.00 and a birth certificate.
It is over. The Supreme Court denied cert in January, before BHO took office. They are not going to entertain any other lawsuits now. Should it be this way? No. But it is. It is over...
