Berg Bites Dust: Supreme Court Dodges Protecting The Constitution For 7th Time In 6 Weeks
if they had a good reason for refusing to hear the cases, one which would withstand common sense scrutiny, they would be saying more than “no comment”.
WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has rejected two more efforts to get the court to consider whether President-elect Barack Obama is eligible to take office.
Kennedy on Wednesday denied without comment an appeal by Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania attorney, that claims Obama is either a citizen of Kenya or Indonesia and is ineligible to be president because he is not a “natural-born citizen” of the U.S. as required by the Constitution. Another appeal from California, based on Berg’s claims, also was denied.
Individual justices and the entire court have turned down emergency appeals over Obama’s eligibility at least seven times in the past six weeks.
Obama allegedly was born in Hawaii in 1961 to an American mother and a Kenyan father.
