“our three branches of government have become the Praetorian guard for each other and the elite”

True in Kelo (5th Amend.) but not in Heller (2nd Amend.).
I’m counting on the Supremes defending the Constitution.

“I hear many have gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court.”

I’ve never gotten why people do this. I seriously doubt demonstrations will affect what the SC does.

I’ll be glad when we can get some pictures of the crowd at the Supreme Court building.

Mr. Obama, you really can’t produce a valid U.S. birth certificate Kenya?

I agree that is won't affect the SC - - - BUT it might get the issue on the evening news. That would be a good thing!

Doubt that all are there to protest.

Many note the history of the moment.

Will America survive its black-robed jurists,
now self-admitted fawning lackeys of the EU,
rather than upholders of the Constitution
from where their power are derived?

Unfortunately, because Donofrio isn’t arguing the legitimacy of the birth certificate, but simply the dual citizenship and split loyalty issue, I doubt we’ll see any resolution to the birth certificate issue come out of this today. I have a feeling SCOTUS will simply go back to Article 1, Section 8 authorizing congress to define citizenship standards and dismiss Donofrio’s claim.

I' like to be shown to be wrong but I have no faith in the courts at any level

My bet is that they will treat this will all the legal seriousness one shows when finding a dead hooker in bed in the morning. Lots of panicking, lots of calls to the right people who can make it go away, lots of trying to hide the evidence and lots of nonsensical denials when called to answer for it.

I'm guessing that the crowd outside the Supreme Court is not an attempt to influence the Court. It's an attempt to influence the media.

The MSM is trying to act like nothing is going on, but a big crowd might make people wonder about that.

Now this is funny:
 
In January 2005, just months after Obama's famous speech at the Democratic National Convention, H. J. RES. 2 is proposed by Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) to allow foreign-born citizens to be eligible to hold office of president. 
 
Fearing this was designed to benefit Arnold Schwarzenegger, the DUmmies become staunch defenders of the founding fathers:

The only court action the MSM will report on today is OJ’s sentancing.

“The MSM is trying to act like nothing is going on, but a big crowd might make people wonder about that.”

My prediction — nothing will be going on because the court won’t take the case.

But I’ve certainly been wrong before. I also said there was no way Obama would take Virginia.

You may be correct. My thinking is that the SC knows that this is an issue that won't go away and that will only get worse if it is not addressed prior to Jan 20th. If they think like a chess player they will take on the case now.
