Supreme Court Rejects Another Obama Citizenship Challenge
By Michael KraskinDec 15th 2008 2:29PM
Birthers were handed another defeat today by the U.S. Supreme court. The court once again chose to not hear a suit targeting Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as President. This one came from Cort Wrotnowski:
Wrotnowski argued that Obama was a British subject at birth and therefore cannot meet the requirement for becoming president.
He wanted the high court to halt presidential electors from meeting to formally elect Obama as president.This is consistent with last week's ruling on a similar case presented by Leo Donofrio.Ok, birthers, you apparently have two more chances to get your tin foil hats in front of the nine, including Phillip Berg's phony birth certificate argument. So now that there have been not one, but two rejections of the birther arguments, I'll ask the same question I did last week to see if any minds have been changed.

Since the Supreme Court has now prevented itself from acknowledging the question of whether Barack H. Obama is or is not an Article II "natural born citizen" based on the Kenyan/British citizenship of Barack Obama's father at the time of his birth (irrespective of whether Barack Obama is deemed a "citizen" born in Hawaii or otherwise) as a prerequisite to qualifying to serve as President of the United States under the Constitution -- the Court having done so three times and counting, first before the Nov 4 general election and twice before the Dec 15 vote of the College of Electors -- it would seem appropriate, if not necessary, for all Executive Branch departments and agencies to secure advance formal advice from the United States Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel as to how to respond to expected inquiries from federal employees who are pledged to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" as to whether they are governed by laws, regulations, orders and directives issued under Mr. Obama during such periods that said employees, by the weight of existing legal authority and prior to a decision by the Supreme Court, believe in good faith that Mr. Obama is not an Article II "natural born citizen".
