But the USSC DOES have the authority to unseal Obama’s birth certificate (and other relevant documents) and ensure that he meets the Constitutional requirements.
You said — “But the USSC DOES have the authority to unseal Obama’s birth certificate (and other relevant documents) and ensure that he meets the Constitutional requirements.”
I haven’t seen the Supreme Court doing things in regards to examining evidence, like (let’s say) ordering a “DNA test” of something who was convicted, or “going to the scene of a crime” to examine the surroundings, or taking further testimony on a case, because they found that the testimony was insufficient and they wanted *more testimony* to decide their case.
As far as all the stuff that I’ve seen happen with the Supreme Court is that they rely solely on the evidence brought up from the lower courts and they don’t go out and seek more evidence themselves. They decide cases on the basis of what has been given to them by a lower court.
Perhaps you know of cases where they’ve ordered more evidence to be gathered for their consideration — something that the lower courts have not had. I would be interested in hearing about that... Let me know..
