Yes, only four justices have to agree for the case to go forward when they meet on the 5th Dec.

Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito. These guys are our only hope. If it goes forward, there is no question Obama will have to provide the BC to the full court.

No, it would just mean that the lower court erred on the standing issue. They would then have to take up the basic case, which they might throw out on some other issue.

Times a wasting. It's less than 3 weeks until the electors meet to cast their votes. I just don't see how any case can make it to the Supreme Court, and then back to the court that can actually hear it based on it's merits, or lack thereof. Then they'd have to order the birth certificate produced, and then rule on eligibility from it. Or in some cases for the state official being sued to attempt to verify eligibility. That would require still more court involvement to break loose the BC.
