[release]WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court refused Monday to take up the question of President Barack Obama's citizenship, which a core group of skeptics continues to challenge despite presentation of his US birth certificate.
The high court, without comment, rejected the request by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer who has emerged as a leader of the "birther" movement of mainly rightwing protesters who question where Obama was born.
She had asked the court to annul a federal judge's 20,000-dollar penalty for filing a "frivolous lawsuit" by her client, a US soldier who refused to deploy to Iraq because she viewed the commander in chief as illegitimate.
The US Constitution allows only "natural born" Americans to be elected to the presidency. Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in the US state of Hawaii.
Judge Clay Land in the southeast state of Georgia determined in October 2009 that Taitz's pursuit of the case was "breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional," and scolded her for expressing "no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct."
She had filed a stay of deployment request on behalf of Captain Connie Rhodes, a US Army medic who challenged Obama's legitimacy as president. When Land threw the case out, Taitz publicly branded it "an act of treason."
In her petition before the Supreme Court, Taitz asked: "Is the whole nation de facto reduced to the level of slaves or serfs when one without valid vital records, without social security number of his own and without a valid long form of birth certificate is able to get in the position of president?"
On Monday Taitz said she would not let the case rest.
"I will file a motion for reconsideration," she said on her website, adding that she has "evidence of highly suspicious activity in several federal courts."
"If we don't clean up corruption in the judiciary, in the White House, citizens of this country will have no trust in the system and will take justice in their own hands. This is dangerous," she wrote.
According to a survey early last year of 2,000 Republicans, 36 percent said they believed Obama, the country's first African-American president, was not born in the United States.
Several complaints on the subject have been filed in various US courts but the motions have been rejected, although Obama's arch-conservative opponents continue to level the unsubstantiated charges.
Last week during a symbolic reading of the US Constitution in the House of Representatives, a woman screamed out "Except Obama! Except Obama!" when a lawmaker read the passage that spells out requirements for becoming president.
Hawaii has published the birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama, which states he was born August 4, 1961 at 7:24 pm in the maternity ward of Kapiolani hospital in Honolulu.

Oh look, more of that violent rhetoric I was talking about in the threads about Gabby Giffords.

This argument has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard regarding recent presidents.
Also cause It's fucking stupid.
The birthers make conservatives look bad. :doh:
I don't get what there is to argue, Hawaii was introduced to the union in 1959, Obama was born in 1961. They're digging at the bottom of the barrel with this one, calling it treason for the Supreme court to refuse to rule on something.
It's pathetic this argument even was proposed to the supreme court in the first place.

uuh what the fuck? Even if he was born somewhere else, why the fuck would it matter to him? Also, the military isn't drafting, his dumb ass signed up for it.
He's just using a whiny excuse not to deploy

if he is a true citizen why is he so afraid to prove it...?
why dont they just show the birth cert so everyone will shut up about it? Hiding the certificate will only make the birthers even more vocal.

now go back to reading wnd
What I find funny in this, is that wasn't McCain technically not born on U.S soil, but rather a military base in the Philippines or something? If he was elected, I wouldn't contest it or anything, but it seems that Obama was "more right" to the U.S than McCain would, being his opposition.
Silly teaparties.
Hell, impeach Obama, just so he'll be put on trial, prove his citizenship, then walk back to his office.
This crap is still going on? I thought we resolved this in '08.

he already proved it
Apparently not according to these guys.
The Supreme Court shouldn't have even given them the slightest bit of respect by acknowledging its existence, they should have ignored it just like the birthers should be ignored.

They're bonafide idiots though.

They think he was born in Kenya.
Not sure what they could do to prove this, do they have evidence?
