Most likely, however the case goes, it’ll be a nailbiting 5-4 decision. The tiebreaker, of course, will be Anthony Kennedy and whether he’s having a bad-hair day.
the 4 right of center justices might demure on this one. dont get your hopes too high.
I believe it only requires four justices to bring the case up for argument.
It takes 4 positive “votes” in conference for the SCOTUS to bring the case to trial.
I don’t see Roberts agreeing to it. Conference vote: 6-3, “nay”.
I think they are going to want Obama to prove he is a natural born citizen.
Maybe he can and this is all just a dopey excercise. Or maybe he can't and then it gets interesting.
What’s going to be interesting is if the USSC justices rule that the case does not have legs... and if at some point in the future it becomes known that Obama was not eligible, after all, to become President.
At that point I believe there would be an awful lot of angry, pissed off people (about half the country)...and they’ll be just as pissed off at the justices that ruled Obama into office ANYway as they are at Obama himself.
