The precedent has already been set. Our USSC has in previous rulings set aside Constitutional law for what it poses as the “greater good of society.”
The justices will not review Hussein’s eligibility. Since if they were too, they might possibly find themselves in a position to yet again set aside the Constitution for the “greater good of society.” So they figure, why risk it?
They figure the best thing for them to do right now is assume the current military posture of, “don’t ask don’t tell.” With this approach, they can avoid any possible known wrong doing when Chief Justice Roberts swears in Hussein.
The bottomline is, even if they did look now or later, and Hussein were discovered to be ineligible, nothing would change. Since, if forced to, they would fall back on the “greater good” philopsophy as they have done in the past.

If that’s the way they think, what good are they?
I personally would not be surprised if Chief Justice Roberts were too busy to swear in our President-Elect. After all, the Supremes have been extraordinarily busy lately, FAR TOO BUSY to deal with what is one of the most burning constitutional issues of our time: The natural-born citizen question and the fact that no one is vetting presidential candidates for constitutional eligibility.
I believe that the Robed Nine have been playing cards in their chambers and even have taken up cultivating orchids to brighten the winter days. So what if we could have the American-born child of two illegal aliens elected president in the years to come and charged with enforcing our immigration laws. No biggie!
I believe that the chief justice will be trying out a new recipe for chocolate chip cookies next Tuesday and will be unable to attend. He will be using chocolate-nut-toffee bits instead of chocolate chips. At least the Supreme Court is breaking ground in some area of life.
