Basically, it means nothing. Every Respondent can choose to respond to the Petition or not. The option remains, should the Court grant certiorari, to file a responsive brief. The Respondents most likely assume the Court will NOT grant certiorari, so it’s not worth it to them to invest the time/costs to prepare a response.

Actually, the Western Journalism group’s interest in filing an amicus brief is interesting.

"Further, it explains that the provisions in the U.S. Constitution, which require presidents to be a "natural born citizen," cannot be disregarded "by means of a popular vote of the people."

Any amendment to the Constitution, the request points out, "requires a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of all state legislatures."

"Once a name is placed on a ballot, voters are only concerned with whether they prefer one candidate over another candidate, as it can be rightfully inferred by said voters that the threshold issue of eligibility has already been determined by virtue of the candidate names having been placed on the ballot. Additionally, the candidates for the office of president … are not required to prove any eligibility."

Kreep continued, "Because voters can and do vote for candidates that are liked by the voters, even if those candidates may not be eligible for the position, the voters do not have the power, or the right, to determine the eligibility of a candidate. For the court to hold otherwise would be to strip all candidates not winning a majority of the votes cast of all political power, as the laws would be based upon the whims of the majority of voters, rather than on the Rule of Law."

Wouldn't that be amazing...the govt (i.e. attorneys representing Barry) wanting to save taxpayer money. Imagine.
