Oh, you mean you thought that had been settled a long time ago?

You must not get my email.

"Why are you not reporting on the Supreme Court case to determine if Obama is a 'natural born' citizen?" said one last week.

"When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire," said another e-mail.

"As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children," it continued.

"Obama has lived for 48 years without leaving any footprints," another email thundered.

"There is no Obama documentation -- no records -- no paper trail -- none -- this is no accident. It is being done on purpose with Media help - but to serve whom & why??"

(Cue the ominous music.)

"Why wouldn't The Pres. Elect clear up this constitutional issue once and for all by coming forward with clear documentation that proves that he is an American Citizen. Not doing so only raises more suspicion that he is not," said yet another email sent to me last week.

Basically, we are at the point where the guy could produce a completely legitimate birth certificate, and the same group of people who don't believe he's a US citizen will still believe he's not a US citizen.

Back in June, the Obama campaign did release digital copies of his birth certificate from Hawaii. But because they haven't trotted out the original, it has spurred even more conspiracy theory type stuff.

Two cases are before the Justices. Each would need at least four Justices to call for consideration. Lower courts threw out the lawsuits.

We'll see what happens today.
