“The Supreme Court not hearing a case has no bearing if they will take up a case on the same subject in future.“

Technically correct. However, if they wouldn’t take it BEFORE Obama was sworn in, do you REALLY think they will take it up 2 years later?

I don’t.

SCOTUS has rules - such as "standing", etc. Lots of times, when a question is so politically charged, they hide behind the skirts of their robes and use procedures to justify why they won't even hear a case.

Now, lets say Obama wins the election in 2012 - if the GOP contender took it to SCOTUS, they COULD NOT refuse to hear it because he [or she] DOES have standing via quo warranto ...
