( * (1) There have never been any votes to hear any eligibility case. All have been denied without comment and without dissent and, most tellingly, without any call for a response from the Government. (When a party asks the Supreme Court to review a case, the opposing party doesn't have to respond; if any of the 9 justices are possibly interested in hearing a case, the court will "call for a response." Obama and the DOJ have never responded to any cert petition in any of the eligibility cases, and the Court has never asked for a response.)
(2) Even if 2 justices are recused, it still takes 4 votes to grant cert. * )
Just curious, the WND article says this information was not made public, where did you get this information from ?

Just curious, the WND article says this information was not made public, where did you get this information from ? The denial of cert. was public. No dissents were recorded from that denial, although Scalia and Alito publicly dissented from other denials of cert. that same day. It is also a matter of public record that there was no call for response; lawyers who regularly practice before the Supreme Court have written that a call for response is made any time any one of the justces expresses interest in a case.
