Today is the day that all the Barack Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorists–or “birthers,” as they’re known in some circles*–have been waiting for. Yes, at long last, it’s Birth Certificate Day at the Supreme Court! Time for the highest court in the land to settle this dispute once and all.

Or so the “birthers” would like to believe.

They’re a tad mistaken, though. That’s because the authenticity question over of Obama’s birthplace document has all ready been put to rest innumerable times.

No, the question before the court today is not whether Obama was born in the U.S., it’s whether that birth makes him a natural born citizen. The argument brought by Leo Donofrio goes like this:

“Don’t be distracted by the birth certificate and Indonesia issues. They are irrelevant to Senator Obama’s ineligibility to be President. Since Barack Obama’s father was a Citizen of Kenya and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of Senator Obama’s birth, then Senator Obama was a British Citizen ‘at birth’, just like the Framers of the Constitution, and therefore, even if he were to produce an original birth certificate proving he were born on US soil, he still wouldn’t be eligible to be President.

The Framers of the Constitution, at the time of their birth, were also British Citizens and that’s why the Framers declared that, while they were Citizens of the United States, they themselves were not “natural born Citizens”.

Got it? The argument is that even if he was born in the U.S., his daddy was an immigrant, so he can’t be president. Donofrio in fact “concedes Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.”

Also, the Supreme Court isn’t hearing the case, they are deciding whether to hear the case.”

Since when does the AOLNEWS, or any of the news services interject BLATANTLY an opinion into a news article?  At least MSM is coy.  Shame, shame, as millions rely on AOL to speak the gospel in reporting the news and the facts.  This was not a blog or even an editorial piece, this was presented as fact that the tin foil hat, birthers are mired in conspiracy and not fact. 

The Supremes should have something to say next week.  Whatever AOLNEWS chooses to write about, let us be reminded of its obvious slant toward defying the Constitution if Obama proves to not be eligible. 

At least  they reported ” the Supreme Court isn’t hearing the case, they are deciding whether to hear the case.”  Golly gee, thanks for the news scoop. 

  Be afraid, very afraid.
