In your opinion, is this not getting anywhere because of the political aspects of this or the merits of the case?
What do attorney's need to do to get this heard and how should they go about it?
I'm asking because you have experience in this, I'd like to hear your opinion.
For separation of powers reasons, courts are not going to get involved in a challenge to the qualifications of a sitting President. Congress can impeach him, but the courts will stay out of it.

Every state has procedures on the books for challenging a candidate's right to be on the ballot. Those challenges have to be brought before the election and, in most states, can only be brought by an opposing candidate (not just any member of the public). If Obama runs for re-election in 2012, another candidate on the ballot can bring a challenge to Obama's candidacy. (I don't think they will prevail, but the case will be heard on the merits.)
