Supreme Court Throws Out "Birther" Lawsuit
by Free Britney at .Somewhere, Donald Trump is so pissed … and quickly moving on to think up ways he can zing Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin on the morning show circuit.
The U.S. Supreme Court announced it will not hear an appeal of a lawsuit by plaintiffs - including Buena Park, Calif., Pastor Wiley Drake - claiming that Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen and so cannot legitimately hold the presidency.
The nation's highest court threw out the case, hopefully the last of its kind.
The Prez scores a rare win ... that he'd already "won" several times.
Santa Ana-based U.S. District Judge David Carter as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit had previously ruled that the plaintiffs did not have legal standing.
Putting the matter to rest, the Supreme Court upheld that ruling.
Probably because Obama was born in Hawaii … imagine that.
More interestingly and legitimately, a report recently suggested Obama may have once lied about being born in Kenya to boost his literary resume.

On the bright side, your screw-up about standing is nowhere near the stupidest thing on this page. Good Lord.
The 2 enemies of the people are Criminals & Government. So let us tie the 2nd one down with chains of the Constitution so the 2nd will not become the legalized version of the 1st. Thomas Jefferson.
Trump pissed? Oh yeah- I'm sure he hasnt slept since. Probably on the verge of giving up- Trump that is. So... I guess this means that Obama is officially a legal " Screwup" instead of an illegal? Sylendra with that $535 Billion Dollar giveaway. His Heath Care - affordable? Seems that so many lost sheep thinks affordable means FREE! A product of the church of Rev. Wright. Here sits a guy with a Muslim name and treats Christanity likes its a sin and people question Romney for being a Mormon? Not to mention Fast & Furious with Holder and his Civil Roghts Lawsuit filing ass. Yes... What a wicked web we weave. Now some of us must wrestle with the thought of feeling guilty/racist at the thought of voting this half black president out. The mess that's been made.
I'd like to see this inferior president's Occidental college application. It has been reported that Obama claimed that he WAS NOT BORN IM AMERICA, and therefore, was given financial aid.
No. Dismissal of a suit for lack of standing is not a dismissal on the merits. The Justices (and the Court of Appeals, and the District Court) issued no opinion as to the validity of plaintiffs' claims. A dismissal for lack of standing simply states that the plaintiff was not the proper party to litigate the claim. Personally, I think the plaintiffs would lose on the merits as well, since we have a document that's generally conclusive to establish birth in the United States. Making the statement that the Court affirmed a dismissal for lack of standing because of the merits of the underlying case, however, is a gross inaccuracy.
