Wait a sec, this whole thread is a complete lie. I just read some news articles, and the person bringing the suit fully acknowledges that Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. His complaint is that because Obama's father was Kenyan, which was under British rule at the time, Obama was thus both a British and American citizen by birth, and not a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution. All this nonsense about whether or not he was born in Hawaii is a moot point, as that fact is not in contention in the case the Supreme Court may elect to hear.
Actually there were a bunch of law suits that were filed, some of which really did challenge the authenticity of the HI birth cert, and didn't focus on the quasi-interesting legal question of what constitutes a "natural born" citizen.
In other whacko news, start typing "obama" into google and the first auto-complete suggestion that pops up below is "obama birth certificate".
Mission accomplished for the nutters.
