Suit contesting Barack Obama's citizenship heads to U.S. Supreme Court today
Justices will decide whether to consider the case
By James Janega | Tribune reporter
6:30 AM CST, December 5, 2008

     The U.S. Supreme Court will consider today 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 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...

Among those filing lawsuits is Alan Keyes, who lost to Obama in the 2004 Illinois Senate race. Keyes' suit seeks to halt certification of votes in California. Another suit by a Kentucky man seeks to have a federal judge review Obama's original birth certificate, which Hawaiian officials say is locked in a state vault.

However it turns out, it appears that the issue of Dear Leader's citizenship comes to a head today.

I'd like to see this get done & decided . Let the chips fall where they may. Just be ready for mass riots IF Obama is proved to not be eligible.

I'm -still- firmly in the camp of "the mass riots are coming" no matter what happens.  The Messiah's acolytes will not be tolerant of inadequate displays of faith in The One.
