SCOTUS: No Review of Obama's Prez Eligibility

clipped from www.google.com The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth. The court did not comment on its order Monday rejecting the call by Leo Donofrio of East Brunswick, N.J., to intervene in the presidential election. Donofrio says that since Obama had dual nationality at birth — his mother was American and his Kenyan father at the time was a British subject — he cannot possibly be a "natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president. At least one other appeal over Obama's citizenship remains at the court. Philip J. Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa., argues that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as Obama says and the Hawaii secretary of state has confirmed.

Score one for the sane. Don't expect this conspiracy theory to die here, though. Conspiracy theories never die. No amount of proof will satisfy these nuts, because conspiracy theories become like religious beliefs to people.

This "Obama isn't eligible thing" will be bouncing around the wingnut blogospere for decades. Get used to it.
