Uh, I believe they meet in a conference and discuss all cases submitted and decide which ones to take. I will almost bet my life they will not take this one.

I hope they do take this case for their own sake. Nothing can stay hidden forever, lies are always revealed. If they don’t take this case and someone comes up with the BC and it says that Obama was born in Kenya, the Court will then have lost ALL credibility, and ALL of them will have spat the Constitution.

If Obama is a natural born citizen, so be it. But with this kind of suspicion surrounding him, they will have more than just the wrath of the Obama nation to deal with.

From Procedures of the Supreme Court of the United States ,

Since the Judiciary Act of 1925 ("The Certiorari Act" in some texts), the majority of the Supreme Court's jurisdiction has been discretionary.[3] Each year, the court receives approximately 7500 petitions for certiorari, of which approximately 150 are granted.[4] In theory, each Justice's clerks write a brief for the Justice outlining the questions presented, and offering a recommendation as to whether certiorari should be granted; in practice, most Justices (all of the current court, except Justices Stevens and Alito) have their clerks participate in the cert pool.

So if I understand that properly, the case has about a 2% chance of moving forward. Still, it's better than zero.

The thing is, at some point, SOME judge will surely ask to see his birth certificate. And that will be the end of that, since its about a 99% certainty that it discloses Kenya as his birthplace.
