I say yes.  This way, people will stop complaining about it.  We'll finally have an official statement saying that he can serve as President.  I normally don't support courts hearing dumb cases like this, but if it gets people to shut up about it, I'm for it.

Then again, people still complained that Bush stole the 2000 election, so this may just add more fuel to the fire.  Still, I think it'll help end all the wacky theories.

No: this case is frivilous and a waste of the court's time.

This here. If Obama was unconstitutional, he wouldn't have run.

My hope is that the justices will issue a statement to the effect of "his citizenship is not in sufficient doubt to warrant us hearing this case." Most cases referred to the Supreme Court never get heard.

Actually, that would suffice for me too.  As long as we get the dumb conspiracy theorists to shut up about it.

They're still talking about the moon landing and about Kennedy's assassination. Heck, there's still people out there claiming Bush won Florida in 2000 - a theory about as supported by utter lack of evidence pointing in that vague direction as this one.

Bush won.  And if we would have done the recount how Al Gore wanted to, he would've won by more than any other method that was tried (I think it was NY Times who did it, but I'm not sure).

No (Obama). We already had an official statement from the government of Hawai'i, didn't we?

An official statement never "shuts up" the tinfoil hat crowd -- any official statement from the SCOTUS will just be met with "ZOMG the court is in on TEH CONSPIRACY!!!!111!!!" Don't waste the time.

That's why I changed my opinion as long as SCOTUS gives a reason for why they don't hear the case.
