The Supreme Court will not hear a ‘birther’ lawsuit from conservative activist Alan Keyes and members of the American Independent Party, which argued Barack Obama is ineligible to be President.
On Monday the Court rejected without comment a lawsuit by Keyes that claimed Obama was not eligible to be President because he was not born in the United States.
Obama released the long-form version of his birth certificate in April, which put the issue to rest for almost everyone.
But there are still those outliers who are not convinced, like Keyes, who recently took part in a birther-friendly cruise hosted by the right-wing site World Net Daily, which also featured birther mainstays like author Jerome Corsi, and birthermercial producer Gary Kreep.
