Excellent thread, I saw this really intriguing thread today and I wanted to link to it. Thanks again for taking the time to post….

Annnnnnnd, probably **shakin' his head**, sayin' No! No! No! :>) :>)

Supreme Court justices are scheduled to hold a private conference today to consider high court petitions. One that is bringing loads of attention from the media is a case challenging President-elect Barack Obama's citizenship and eligibility for office.

Supporters of the petition are holding a vigil today while the justices make their decision, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The petition is a continuation of a New Jersey case filed by Leo Donofrio that originally sought to stay the election. The Tribune notes that there are many other efforts throughout the country trying to derail Obama's presidency on claims that he wasn't born in the United States or later renounced his citizenship.

Obama has maintained he was born in Hawaii and Hawaiian officials say his original birth certificate is locked in a vault.
