Yes, but on the other hand because they are perfectionist-careerist types, the last thing they want is to be known for inciting nationwide riots and unrest. So they’ll very carefully leave a wide berth for Bambi to slither through while somehow addressing the issue for all time. At least that’s my prediction.

That’s my assessment as well, a split-the-baby decision.

Maybe we have a role in this. It would not be the fault of any justice if O was trying to screw with the Constitution. It is O’s fault, 100%. Maybe it is OUR JOB to get that word out, if it comes to that. SCOTUS justices should be compelled to uphold the Constitution. Of course the O-bots and O-Lawyers will be ready to attack them if they DARE question him. However, maybe we can help mitigate that.

“So they’ll very carefully leave a wide berth for Bambi to slither through while somehow addressing the issue for all time.” Yours may be the most accurate portrayal of what will happen of all the speculations! The trick now is to guess which case coming up through the circuits will give them the best venue through which to do that. I would sadly guess that we will have an ambiguous president for the next four years. And that is also frightening since such a malignant narcissist—and that, narcissist, is the clinical diagnosis I would apply to the affirmative action fraud—would be very dangerous holding such power and would be likely to do things out of spite rather than in the nation's best interest.

Mine too and it has been from the start. The appropriate legalese is probably being prepared at this moment.

If indeed Obama is unfit under the Constitution then he should, of course, be denied it. But I doubt that will happen. The (very) small consolation is that the Supremes will have an opportunity to educate the idiots in the American populace about the fundamental primacy of the Constitution, even as they dance around it.

Man, that IS a small consolation.
