Justices to mull Obama citizenship again

On Monday the Supreme Court decided not to hear the Obama citizenship case challenging the right of Barack Hussein Obama to become president because of questions about his citizenship.

Justice Antonin Scalia distributed another appeal on the same issue for the court to consider.

The new case, Cort Wrotnowski v. Susan Bysiewicz, Connecticut Secretary of State, is scheduled to be discussed by the justices at their Dec. 12 private conference.

They plan to decide whether to give the case a hearing - again on whether the British citizenship of Mr. Obama's father makes the president-elect ineligible to assume the office.

If the high court doesn’t get involved, the story of Obama’s citizenship will persist indefinitely.

If the issue is not resolved before inauguration day, how can the Chief Justice swear in a man who may not be qualified to be president?
