SCOTUS to ponder Obama's citizenship...maybe
Remember the questions over whether Barack Obama is actually a citizen of the United States? The nation's highest court is going to give them a look-see, according to the Chicago Tribune:
The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case embraced by some opponents of Obama's election.The meeting of justices will coincide with a vigil by the filer's supporters in Washington on the steps of the nation's highest court.
The suit originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells.
Legal experts say the appeal has little chance of succeeding, despite appearing on the court's schedule. Legal records show it is only the tip of an iceberg of nationwide efforts seeking to derail Obama's election over accusations that he either wasn't born a U.S. citizen or that he later renounced his citizenship in Indonesia.

Clarence Thomas must not have read your column or deemed credible any of those "credible folks" you mentioned.
The fact that BHO will not confirm the hospital he was born in and who was the doctor that first spanked his little ass just fertilizes the conspiracy theories.
Enquiring minds and the Jerry Fletcher's of the world just want to know.
Lefties, now smirk, grunt, and roll your eyes.
