Obama citizenship question goes to U.S. Supreme Court
BY CHRIS RIZO
 
Barack Obama (D) 
WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline)-The former deputy
Pennsylvania attorney general who challenged
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's
qualifications to be president has appealed to the
U.S. Supreme Court.

Lafayette Hill, Pa.-based attorney Philip Berg, a
self-described "moderate to liberal" Democrat who
supported Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign,
alleged that the Illinois senator is not a U.S.
citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency. 

He had his lawsuit rejected Friday by U.S. District
Judge Richard Barclay Surrick of the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania.

Disputing Obama's Hawaiian birth, Berg claimed Obama
is either a citizen of his father's native Kenya or
that he became a citizen of Indonesia after he moved
there as a young child.

For his part, Obama has posted on his Web site a birth
certificate indicating he was born in Honolulu in
1961.

In his ruling, Surrick said Berg lacked standing to
bring the lawsuit. The judge also said that the harm
from an allegedly ineligible candidate was "too vague
and its effects too attenuated to confer standing on
any and all voters."

In a statement, Berg said he was within his rights to
file suit challenging Obama's qualifications.

"I am totally disappointed by Judge Surrick's decision
and, for all citizens of the United States, I am
immediately appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court," he
said.
