“I find the above passages to be very illuminating. For one, it affirms to me that Leo Donofrio knows his Justices, so picked Justice Thomas to re-file his petition to, as the one Justice most likely to act on the overwhelmingly urgent implications of the issue.”
I agree. I think that Justice Thomas understands that this needs to be dealt with because it just isn’t going to go away. I don’t know if he has any opinion about it....he may think it has no merit...but he (I think) realizes it must be examined and not just pushed to the side.
I do believe that IF the SCOTUS was to examine the facts and documents (i.e. vault BC) they would be able to make an informed decision. I also think that IF the evidence shows that P.E. Obama was indeed born in Kenya or if other circumstances (being an Indonesian citizen) caused his loyalties (as constitutionally intended) to be questioned, I think a majority of the court will rule P.E. Obama to be unqualified. However, the evidence must be clear and compeling.
The hard part is getting them to actually take the time to obtain and examine evidence, which I think is all most of us want them to do.
Nothing personal, but statements like this one are deeply troubling to me, and highly irritating, because they suggest that the high court is simply a group of dis-interested scholars in darkened chambers, wholly divested of any sense of import over matters of national importance that may come their way, and who only view these momentous cases in a purely analytical light.
I don't think that that's the case. The high court cleared their docket in 2000 to rapidly address the ballot re-counts in Florida. It was a national crisis, and the high court responded with due diligence, in a timely fashion.
This case is likewise, if not more so. The obvious questions which have arisen concerning Mr. Obama's citizenship are real, and threaten to cause great unrest in the body politic, if they are not satisfactorily put to rest, one way or another.
The Supreme Court Justices know this, and I trust that they will move with high regard for the critical importance and urgency it deserves. To do otherwise will invite chaos at every level.

I believe that the SC, or Congress, will HAVE to examine Mr. Obama's original birth certificate, as well as any other supporting documentation to put this thing to rest. Again - it will either be fully disclosed and decided to the satisfaction of the American people, or it will never die.
It's either put to rest fully, and I mean with complete disclosure of Obama's hidden past, or the doubts about him will grow into an untenable situation of mistrust and illegitimacy in the mind of the public, and even among members of our gov't and military.
