Supreme Court Says No To Review of Obama's Eligibility

The Supreme Court of the United States of America, on Monday, refused to grant an emergency appeal that questioned Barack Obama's eligibility to be president under the Constitution.

Not to give the claim any merit, but as way of information, The appeal claimed that Obama is not a "natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president.

At the core of the claim states that Obama's duel status as a American Citizen, and a British Subject is a problem. Barack Obama's Kenyan father at the time was a British subject. and his mother is an American.

The Supreme Court had learn it lesson from its disaster of a ruling in 2000's Bush vs Gore. That ruling seated a unelected person, George W Bush, as President, sealing the stolen election, and bogus Florida vote count. This was a dark time for the court.

The current make up of the court, although very much Republican controlled, seems more willing to be open. They are willing to look in all areas for a ruling, The Constitution, National & State laws, International Law, and Nation & World trends. This is not to say that I agree with every ruling that is made.

According to an AP story,"At least one other appeal over Obama's citizenship remains at the court. A man in Lafayette Hill, Pa., argues that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as Obama says and Hawaii officials have confirmed.

He says Obama also may be a citizen of Indonesia, where he lived as a boy.

Federal courts in Pennsylvania have dismissed The Man's lawsuit. Federal courts in Ohio and Washington state have rejected similar lawsuits.

Allegations raised on the Internet say the birth certificate, showing that Obama was born in Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961, is a fake.

But Hawaii Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino and the state's registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, say they checked health department records and have determined there's no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii."

It sad that in 2008 that some people are still so scared and filled with hate, and bigotry about an African -American being President, or having any success. it like they are stuck in southern 60's or pre-civil war mind set.

We don't need hate groups like KKK, Aryan Nation, White Pride, and NRA. I understand they have a right to free speech. but not to attempt the extermination of a race of people.

We are standing on one of the great moment is our history, and the history of the World. One day your great grandchildren, and grandchildren will ask you were you were when Barack Obama was elected and then sworn in as President of the United States of America.

I'm thankful that the Supreme Court heard and followed the will of the people, and upheld the election. By rejection this appeal, and not interfering, the court has help progress com to our nation, and democracy as a whole.
