It takes 4 judges to grant Writ of Certiorari ...
BTW ... what happened to FR yesterday - could not get in ALL day ... a DOS attack?
J R said it was a “Murphy Law” thing. Two problems happened at once.
FR Mail to you
There are other ways of arrival that Writ of Certiorari?
Nope - minimum 4 SCOTUS to grant Cert ... otherwise, they would be flooded with cases.
I’m full of HOPE, I guess on this.
I don’t know if they publish the vote on Cert - but there ARE 4 SCOTUS conservatives - I am somewhat hopeful that they will grant Cert.
HOPE has become a four-letter word.
So far I don’t think the SCOTUS has requested nor has indicated Obama needs to show proof. I think the respond thing is for his attorneys to respond with anthing they wish such as motions, etc.
After Obama is elected via the EC then that is one thing but prior if Obama should drop out I’m not sure. I know that the DNC has authority to replace him as the Democratic Party nonimee up to some point. That point is which I don’t know where is located along the process time table.
I just flat out don't believe that. I see the most likely result of the Petition for Cert as being outright failure to get votes to hear the case period. No further remedy. Certainly not from David Souter. There is just nothing in the procedure for any remedy remotely like this.
Thanks STARWISE.

Try the following link for JR’s response.

I spent the better part of an hour with a friend that has been in DC quite a bit lately, (he has some pressing issues with congress that I will not go into) his attorney said this Obama citizenship issue is the talk of DC. They know there is no proof that O can come up with to prove he is legit and they are all trying to figure out how to handle this.
He is the one that gave me the link that you read. We all know how this should have been handled but at the same time I guess he had to be elected for the courts to respond? Seems backwards, especially in this toxic atmosphere.
Needless to say Larry (my friend) is so concerned he already stocked up on munitions for his weapons. He told me to do the same and Larry is not one to be swayed easily.
I fear for this country and what we are about to witness. God Bless America and be prepared.
Oh no, not him at all. This Larry is local (Buffalo).
I’m going to safely assume that he is not referring to Larry Sinclair.
