I’m saying that the Supreme Court will not weigh in on this issue because of the absurdly huge ramifications involved, particularly when there is a political resolution to the problem, if one even exists.

And I say that the huge ramification that will occur if they do NOT weigh in, should it be discovered at a later date that indeed, 0bama did not meet the requirements to be elected to the office, yet was allowed to hold it for whatever reason means that ANY citizen may also ignore ANY portion of the Constitution at his whim. This would be a terrible precedent to set.

No, because there would be a political solution; he would be removed from office and the Vice-President would be sworn in. I don't think that would be a particularly big deal at all, because it would undoubtedly follow a large Congressional investigation in which everything would laid bare, unlike, say, a Supreme Court ruling.
