The Petition was denied at the SCOTUS for procedural reasons. BUT, there are things happening with this, and all of Berg's cases which are very encouraging!

***Maybe it the old “ keep your friends close and your enemies closer?” Or maybe Obama wants Biden with him so they don’t have to keep him tied to a chair with duct tape over his mouth so he doesn’t say something dumb?***

Yes, two of Biden's swearing ins and one of Obama's have fumbled over the word 'faithfully'.

The Supreme Court will have to be VERY careful about the civil procedure in these cases. We are dealing with a separation of powers issue and the SCOTUS took it on the chops in Bush v. Gore. They are not eager to "de-throne" another person who "won" the popular vote (I really dislike Gore).

My guess is a lower Federal court (Article III court)will rule somewhere that Barry needs to produce proof that he is eligible to serve as POTUS for some reason or another and the SCOTUS will just let the lower court ruling stand to protect its independence and the independence of the Presidency. Maybe it will be the Third Circuit challenge. maybe some other Federal court.
