WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal challenging President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship and his eligibility to serve as commander in chief.
Without comment, the high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Alan Keyes, Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson.

Here’s another “you don’t have standing” kick-the-can-down-the-road decision. sigh
I doubt the case challenged his ‘American citizenship’: thank you AP for mis-reporting.
Great. So now the SCOTUS agrees with Obama, that the U. S. Constitution doesn’t apply to him.
Unfortunately a challenge by a former presidential candidate carries the backage of looking like a political attack. Better to have an ordinary citizen behind it.
"no legal standing"
OK.
Well, it is just the eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States.
IMO any American Citizen off the street would have 100% "legal standing."
But lets not interfere with the pee-cee of the situation or pay any attention to the ever-growing truckload of evidence that indicates something is VERY wrong with our affirmative action choom-choom prezzy B's background.
The level of stupid with this is beyond comprehension.

I’ve felt that the “Fix” was in from the moment that he took the second (secret) oath of office on immaculation day. Then also there was that picture of him schmoozing with the supremos. Bad vibes from that one too.
I am beginning to lose total confidence in the Supreme Court. They are beginning to look more like part of King Obama’s organization. Getting real sad that the Court does not seem to hear properly filed cases. This standing horseshit is getting old.
Most of the people in this country knows something’s not right about this guy’s life. I believe most of the people who still worship him know it. It’s just that most people don’t care.
AP can’t resist the “birther” slur even after the Breitbart discovery of Obama’s born-in-Kenya bio completely validated the eligibility issue. The Supreme Court’s handling of Obama’s eligibility will not reflect well on the justices.
Any U. S. Citizen whatsoever should be deemed to have standing to challenge the POTUS’ ability to meet the Constitutional bar to represent them in that office.
Talk about disenfranchised! Even people who ran against this Kenyan lout have no standing?
Pray tell, who would have legal standing?
Checks and balances were provided in our system of governance to avoid the populace having to take things into their own hands. Is the SCOTUS so addled that it can’t grasp the importance of these matters enough to grant reasonable standing to citizens to demand our laws are observed?
If they ever expect to advance their cause, the NBC birthers will have to remove Obama as the target...at least until after he's out of office. That's reality.
Sadly the courts have repeatably and consistently rules that no ordinary citizen nor member of the Armed Services has "standing" to determine if the current Commander-in-Chief and President of these United States is constitutionally qualified to hold that high office.
Repeatably and consistently.
Can you really blame Justices Thomas, Roberts, Alito and Scaila?
Of course those Justices have the power to remove Obama from office, they must fear that Obama during the duration of the case at the SCOTUS would use his assets at the CIA to neutralize the Justices.
(Please don't step on the troll)
What was the vote?
