Supreme Court Refuses To Hear ‘Birther’ Argument Relating To President Obama

Posted: June 11, 2012

Birther Movement Denied by Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Monday outright refused to hear an appeal that would challenge the legitimacy of President Obama’s citizenship and thereby his entire presidency.

The countries highest court did not offer any comment as to why they refused to hear the “birther” appeal filed by Alan Keyes, Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson.

In its ruling the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the challengers did not have the necessary legal standing to file the birther lawsuit against President Obama.

Under the U.S. Constitution only a “natural-born citizen” is allowed to run and serve as the President of the United States. Challengers claim that President Obama was born to in Kenya and not in Hawaii as he claims. Those same opponents also claim that despite repeated testimony President Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery meant to dupe the American people.

The court likely threw out the case after Hawaii’s own officials repeatedly verified Obama’s citizenship.

You may recall that Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake both ran against President Obama on the American Independent Party ticket in 2008 while Markham Robinson is the party’s chairman.

Given the strong push to prove President Obama a fraud it is likely this is not the last we’ll hear about the birther movement, although further distractions will likely stem from the state level where federal voting regulations over rule the decisions of individual states.

Do you think it is finally time to put the birther issue to rest and focus on issues that are actually creating problems for regular Americans, such as the economy and ballooning student loans?

    The entire United State Federal Government is a total FRAUD…100% of congress, the entire crack smoking Ovomit planet of the APE cult, and all the creepy, cult fleabagging sheeple who voted for this crack smoking homoseuxal FRAUD….I hope you all die.

  4. For someone that follows the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, you sure like to throw around hatred and racial intolerance. It really is too bad that GOP teat suckers like you can't make a single point, backed up by facts, without sounding like insolent, closed-minded children. Next time, keep your rhetoric to yourself and keep your mouth on Glen Beck and Ron Paul's balls.

  5. Of course they won't, they can't stop throwing around their empty rhetoric to distract us while their evangelical megachurches take over our country.

    Give me a break! I guess we are to believe that the constitution was meant to be modified to adjust to the needs of individuals.If Obama is truly a citizen of the United States, It is his responsibility to prove it and put the issue to rest.

    I don't know how much more proof the POTUS needs. These are the type of people that are convinced the sky is red, even though we ALL know it's blue, but NOTHING you say will convince them that the sky is blue and not red. Sounds like most religious people.

  9. Blue? I am color blind and I say it is Green. I can see it and nothing you can say will change my mind! In worlds with green skies same sex people cannot get married. God said so and I believe HER!

  10. Has someone actually seen a birth certificate? You'd think with all the press this thing has gotten over the years someone would have produced one by now right…shut those crazy people up? Right? When smoke leads to fire and you still don't put it out….whose fault is that? Just like Romney and tax returns. But how can you demand to see his tax returns when you won't even produce a birth certificate?

  11. Actually, his birth certificate can be found right here.

    Any questions?

  12. of course, Brian Dixon, you are one of the religious red skiers… Nothing will change your mind

  13. “[§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State.
    (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.
    (b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.
    (c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]”

  14. Actually the sky has no color per se. The blue is the tindle effect where we see blue because of the light being split by water vapor.

  15. Know that you've been educated. What was that you were saying about "nothing will change my mind?"

  16. You can read right Munoz? Tell what that says smart guy.

  17. Munoz???

  18. I'm not as learned as you Brian. What does that mean in laymens terms, please.

  19. It means that as long as an adult can walk into Hawaii’s version of the Department of Records and provide proof that they are a legal resident of Hawaii, the document is issued….regardless of where they were actually born.

  20. Any questions?

    Well, in that case, you're right! The long form is right on the whitehouse.com website, for everyone to see, yet it's not good enough. If only people could have that same attitude about the bible, this world would be better off.

    What more does the dude need to do dude? Turn white?

  22. HA! That is always the tell-tale sign of the defeat of a liberal. Turn to the race card. Nice playing with you Munoz. Come back better prepared next time!!

    If our State and Federal Constitution "Rule Of Law" is denied by all of our State and Federal courts, why have a Supreme Court decide anything?

  24. Terrie Swank, you are absolutley right.

  25. We need a definate conclusion to this issue NOW. Let's assume for a moment obama IS ineligible and it is not proven until after 2016. That would produce a tremendous Constitutional crisis. Why? His nominations of Kagan and Satomayor to SCOTUS are void, producing a crisis for the Supreme Court because some of the cases argued while those two were on the court will have to be reargued. This will compound problems for the justice system as a whole. All bills signed into law by him are automatically void, producing more chaos. Rules and regulations produced as the results of those laws would also be voided, producing even more chaos. Are you getting my point now? The question cannot be answered with the "standing" argument because eventually even that will not hold water. The longer we wait to get a definate legal answer to obama's eligibility, the bigger the mess we may have to clean up later.

  26. Brien – You miss the point entirely. To date, everything obama has submitted as "proof" has actually been proven to be a forgery, including the online birth certificate submitted by the White House.

  27. "IF obama is truly a citizen of the United States" – A lawsuit against obama's eligibility is now occuring in California. This lawsuit claims obama is still a citizen of Indonesia and not a US citizen at all. The truly amazing thing about this lawsuit is that the court has agreed to hear the case. BTW. Legal standing has been established in this case.
