The USSC needs to make a definitive ruling one way or another.

Or not. The USSC can sit on their tails, deny hearing every birther lawsuit that comes their way and watch as the Obama administration passes into the dustbin of history, allowing precedent to be firmly established.

About the best way to get SCOTUS to hear this would be to have a lower court rule Obama is ineligible. That's a pretty tall order considering that not a single eligibility case has survived a motion to dismiss.

I agree. I can’t see them ruling on it, but until they do (if they do, which again, I agree with you is highly unlikely) there is not a clear definition of NBC. I think the precedent was already set with Cleveland. I think that no one wants to touch the anchor baby issue, whether we have an illegal president, etc. Can you imagine, past the rioting that so many seem to pooh-pooh, the way the rest of the world would take advantage of the fact that we would have US citizens claiming that everything the “fake” president did while in office was invalid and illegal? All the orders for the military were illegal? It would be a major security crisis.
I think a lot of these people (Orly, Berg, etc.) are working for the dems, trying to rile up the far-right base so they can make fun of them. It makes more sense than accusing yourself or myself of working for the DOJ.
