Supreme Court Refuses To Hear Obama Birth Certificate Challenge
Posted: Jun 11, 2012
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal challenging President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship and his eligibility to serve as commander in chief.
Without comment, the high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Alan Keyes, Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the challengers did not have legal standing to file the lawsuit.
The U.S. Constitution says only "a natural born citizen" may serve as president. The challengers allege that Obama, whose father was Kenyan, was born in that African country, rather than in Hawaii. They claim his Hawaii birth certificate is a forgery. Hawaii officials have repeatedly verified Obama's citizenship.
Keyes and Drake ran against Obama on the American Independent Party ticket and Robinson serves as the party's chairman.
SCOUS - goldie
[ In Reply To ..]I think the problem is that the US Constitution never defines a "natural born citizen," and that leaves the door open to question. It's bound to come up again, whether it's Obama or another candidate. Don't you just love it when the SCOUS says "no" and doesn't have to say why? Was the appeal specifically about Obama's eligibility or did it also have a more general tone to it? If was just about Obama, then I can certainly understand the refusal. Does anyone have any good links to reference?
Because they would look as ridiculous as Trump if they commented - A dignified response
[ In Reply To ..]Talk about frivolous nonsense to even bring something like this to the court. Shows some real fear on the Republican Conservatives part that they do not think they can win without court action or cheating.
If they do not have "legal standing", who does? - They always say that -cop out. nm

I think it's a sad day when an important issue like this is - not even heard
[ In Reply To ..]My deep down feeling is they were simply told don't go there or else. It is truly a sad day when an important issue is not looked at. Maybe they've been told don't take it on as Romney will be the next president and if it comes out he wasn't born here then there'll be too many problems for them to fix. Who knows. But they could be holding his Kenyan BC in their hands and they still won't hear it. It does make you wonder the implications of all that has been done if there really is a Kenyon one. So I can understand why they won't even hear it.
As for the comment about Trump. Well we all know who he supports and who put him up to do what he did. No, of course he would not take it any further.
The conservative leaning SCOTUS has decided that this is a - frivolous law suit. Stop with the insanity. nm

You have no right to tell me what I can and cannot write - not even heard
[ In Reply To ..]Are you the Moderator?
So I will repeat. It is a sad day when an important issue like this is not even heard. I'm sure they were told not to discuss and don't even bring it up. That is the only reason for their decision.
However, you see, that is the nice thing about freedom and this board.
I CAN WRITE WHATEVER I WANT TO!!!
If you don't like what I write, as the moderator has said many times, just skip by the posts.
It is a sad day when this issue has gone through.. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]all the courts in the land an some people will just not accept it. When the Court says they will not hear the lawsuit it does not mean that they have not studied and investigated the issue. It just means that they have decided not to hear arguments in open court because they deem the lawsuit frivolous.
the poster did not tell you what you can or cannot write - golly

No legal standing simply means... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]that the court has judged Obama's BC to be authentic and the plaintiff therefore has no basis for the lawsuit. No legal standing gave rise to the saying, "not a leg to stand on".
Further, if Congress were to pass the so-called birther bill, Obama would be able to comply easily. The bill would require presidential campaigns to submit “a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate” to the Federal Election Commission. The certificate Obama has released publicly would meet this requirement.
That is not correct! Your definition is not right - ..it means it is none of their business..
[ In Reply To ..]Not having legal standing means you do not have the legal right to be involved in the court case you are trying to be involved in..
So, the case cannot even be tried because the people bringing it have no legal standing. It has NOTHING to do with whether or not Obamas BC is authentic!
the definition provided was correct - fgs
[ In Reply To ..]You have to have legal grounds on which to question something; that's what legal standing means. It has nothing to do with whether it is "your business" or not (for goodness sake).
I think that in this case...sm - VTMT
[ In Reply To ..]the court is saying that it is not the plaintiff's job to decide where a person is born, whether the birth certificate is a forgery or not. That is the job of the state of Hawaii and they have certified that Obama's BC is not a forgery.
That's not what legal standing means - That is an opinion not a definition - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nice try.
