There have been nine attempts to have the Supreme Court of the United States rule on appeals of lower court decisions on Obama eligibility/natural born citizen lawsuits.
Justices Souter, Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito, and Ginsberg have all had petitions submitted for those Justices to carry the ball with the other Justices.
In case anyone is unaware of how the Supreme Court operates, it takes four of the nine Justices to agree to hear an appeal before the full court. When four Justices agree to hear an appeal, the technical term is “Granting a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari.”
The nine appeals that have been denied are:
1)Berg v Obama denied on January 21, 2009

Hi there James.
Just wanted you to know I got a copy of my Long Form from Hawaii.
I think this settles a bet doesn’t it?
