“People will be climbing all over the band wagon looking for an excuse to get rid of the Obama presidency.”

I agree with you. Early on, SCOTUS was/is reluctant to take up this case. There are matters of perception by the general public that, in my opinion, have resulted in virtually everyone in the US lacking standing on this constitutional question (an unlikely situation, though the courts seem to believe it so far).

At some point (and this is becoming more obvious, even in the last week), it will become apparent that the current POTUS is not up to the task, and is becoming an embarrassment. At that point, as things begin to get ugly, SCOTUS will have to take it up as a legal method of removal for the problem. A legal, politically acceptable method of dealing with the problem is ever to be preferred, and legal solutions are what SCOTUS is all about.

When SCOTUS has the opportunity to be viewed as a solution to a nationally perceived problem, is the point at which they will take up the question (in my opinion). I believe that they would rather do this, than do it too soon and be perceived as partisan (though we all know that they are).

A good opinion (IMO). haha. The issue would have been waaayyy too much of a hot potato to touch early on. Now that things are changing (pun intended), it may not be so 'difficult' to address.

Doesn't make it right in light of defending our Constitution...but I can see how that 'argument' would be so.

On the other hand, if some/most of these cases, briefs, etc where never seen by the justices because of (alleged) subversion, then that's a whole different ball game (IMO).

It might be easier for SCOTUS to invalidate Obama’s election and deal with the fraud rampant in the Democrat Party than to sit through hearing after hearing of Constiutionality cases regarding the laws he has passed and WANTS to pass!

Congress has overstepped it’s bounds. It’s time for SCOTUS to deliver the checkmate.

I agree. The window is opening. Biden has been talking trash against Obama in public. Hillary is nowhere to be found in the media. The State Dept. has allowed some HUGE gaffs to drop in Obama's lap, Congress is in a panic over the next election as poll numbers are cratering even for safe Democrat seats. Obama is all over TV making a fool of himself, the markets have crumbled (notwithstanding yesterday's bear rally), the Fed has just devalued the dollar and the establishment is backing away from Obama because Obama is planning to tax them into middle class status.

If the SCOTUS takes the case, watch the ducks line up behind Biden real fast and watch Hillary line up as VP to checkmate the National Lunatic Pelosi. This could make some fascinating television, folks!

Oh mercy...

If THE ONE is removed from office, that means Joe Biden will become our President.

Talk about an intellectual lightweight...

To borrow a phrase from the Mogambo Guru:

“WE’RE FREAKING DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!”
