Supreme Court Turns Down Berg's Obama Suit

The Supreme Court has denied hearings to a months-long case over President-elect Barack Obama’s citizenship.

Philip Berg, the  former Pennsylvania deputy attorney general who filed a suit against Mr. Obama in August, was denied hearings by the Supreme Court in its conference on Friday.

“I am disappointed for the 300-plus million U.S. citizens, our Forefathers and for the tens of thousands that have died defending our Constitution,” said Mr. Berg. “I am committed to keep our efforts going to continue litigation until the truth of Obama being not qualified for president comes out. The Obama candidacy is the biggest hoax ever put forth to the citizens of the United States in 230 years.”

Mr. Berg filed a writ of certiorari with the court requesting relief for being deprived of a qualified candidate and requesting the court force Mr. Obama to produce his birth certificate. The court only grants the application for a writ if four of the nine justices vote in favor of doing so. Approximately 7,500 applications are presented to the court each year, but only 80 to 150 are typically granted.


Mr. Berg also submitted a request for the court to suspend the electoral process, and it will be deliberated in a conference of justices on January 16.

He has pledged to continue his fight to confirm his assertions that Mr. Obama is not eligible to be president in the form of other court cases he is involved with. Two months ago he filed a case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia as an interpleader case with the plaintiff, a retired colonel from the U.S. Air Force, who is questioning whether to obey or disobey an order if Mr. Obama recalls him, based upon whether or not Mr. Obama is an eligible president.
