A case that challenges President-elect Barack Obama’s name on the 2008 election ballot citing questions over his citizenship has been scheduled for a “conference” at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Conferences are private meetings of the justices at which they review cases and decide which ones to accept for formal review. This case is set for a conference Dec. 5, just 10 days before the Electoral College is scheduled to meet to make formal the election of Obama as the nation’s next president.

I don’t get it. I always thought that if one of your parents were American, you were automatically an American no matter where you were born. Am I wrong?

They'll decide not to review because they don't wish to create an incident, regardless of the merits.

That's how our government functions. Overlook laws and the constitutions if required actions would embarrass the government, the individual(s) involved or create public outcry.
