“One learned Freeper gives the case a 10% chance of acceptance. What is your take on it's survival in the conference room? I'll go out on a limb... I think it's chance of moving on in the process is better than 50%.”

I am certainly not “learned” on these matters, but this case concerns a possible Constitutional crisis in voting in the Commander in Chief of our country! This is not the everyday kind of case with folks bringing suits concerning their rights being violated. Not that those cases aren't important, they certainly are. But the decision the Justices must make on Donafrio’s case will affect everyone in our country and the world!

I would think this case is one Justices most certainly would take on. After all, their main duty is to make sure our Constitution is upheld, and to think the Office of President could be endowed on someone who does not meet the very basic constitutional requirements to be President is abhorrent! I don't think there is a more important decision for them to make and to make RIGHT than this one!

I respect your opinion as much as anyone here, as you are well informed, reasonable, and from the tone of your posts, passionate about the protection of the US Constitution, and in doing so, protecting our nation.

The use of the word ‘learned’ may have carried a loaded connotation in my post... perhaps a less kind word substitution for ‘learned’ (in my use) would be ‘opinionated’ or harsher yet, ‘a know it all’. ;o)

I agree wholeheartedly with you that there are only an exceptionally few issues (ever) to come before the Court, that have as much at stake for our nations’ future, as does this issue.
