Don’t get too excited. The SCOTUS will kick this out just like every other eligibility case that has reached them. They are avoiding this issue like the plague.
I no longer have faith in the supreme court to do what is right. They were intimidated by the lefts continual attacks on them after making the right decision in the 2000 election.
Now, they don’t want anything to do with the presidency and constitutional issues surrounding who is holding that office.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

As much as I hate to say this, kagen and sotomayor will not recuse themselves (unethically without a doubt), and again this will not get through conference.
Makes me sick...
I hope this is more successful than the last cases brought.
I wouldn’t count on kagan or sotomayor vacating their ring side seats either.
If he is ineligible ... do their appointments stand?
Why? Do you expect them to vote to hear the case?
This is not a majority vote. The case is taken up by the entire court if four justices vote to hear it. Five justices can vote against it but as long as the other 4 vote for it then it advances. Kagan and Sotomayor voting or not voting, that doesn't change.
Recussals by Sotomayor and Kagan (and no votes by Bader-Ginsberg and Breyer) are irrelevant to moving this appeal to a hearing before the full court.
It takes FOUR votes (the rule of four) to grant a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, which is Supreme Courtese for “yes, we’ll hear your case.” There are five Justices appointed by Republican Presidents: Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas.
Sotomayor and Kagan are not needed.
