I don’t understand it, what does this mean? “There were no recorded dissents from any of the Supreme Court’s denials of certiorari in eligibility cases.

Very often, when the Supreme Court refuses to hear a case ("grant certiorari"), the Court's order will say: "Certiorari denied. Justice ___ dissents." Sometimes, a justice will even write a dissenting opinion explaining why they think the case should have been heard. No justice recorded any dissent in any Obama eligibility case (I think there have been 7 or so that reached the Court, all denied).

No justice has written a dissenting opinion on any of them....because they are all "avoiding" the question as justice Thomas just pointed out.

They didn't want to "touch" this hot potato in 2008 / early 2009. The country was in love with Ol' Barry. Or so, the state run media informed us.

Thank you, ‘So, I must be dense, lol

Is that good or bad?

Does that leave the BC situation up in the air?
