Very complicated mess we’re in.

Somehow I can’t see the Court hearing this case- partially because Berg’s case goes off on some tangents that are superfluous- and also- I don’t know if they are willing to take on the risk of civil unrest that would surely result.

Am I correct in believing that Souter makes the decision whether or not the case should be heard?

If the court decides against hearing- the time left for action will be short.

No. It can be evaluated by a four judge panel, or it can be done enbanc.

Au contraire ... mon frere ...

This is EXACTLY the kind of case that SCOTUS MUST take.

If they let it stand as current ... every Tom, Dick, and Osama Bin Laden can run for POTUS and not have to prove natural born citizenship (if there is reasonable suspicion).
