The decision to “hear” may just mean that the “justices” will say there are no grounds for the appeal. Few are more socialistic than the five judges who dominate the court. I cannot see for a second that they would permit an honest hearing.

According to my sources the Supremes are going to let the clock run out and not grant cert.

Well..., the other case that was accepted for a hearing was announced on Friday. It was said in another article that this is usually the procedure, in that it gives the parties ample time to be able to respond to the granted hearing.

The ones which are not heard are usually not announced right away. So, the fact that it was not announced, while the other case was, indicates that this Obama Birth Certificate case is *not* going to be heard.

But. a lot of people already knew that this was going to happen...

Even though I know this case SHOULD go forward, SCOTUS will probably not allow it to do so. I hope and pray I’m wrong.

As former military - sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies - both foreign and domestic — I would like to KNOW that the CIC who has the power to order me into certain death, at least held that office under conditions SPECIFIED by the Constitution!

If Obama can’t PROVE he is a legitimate NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN —I will never accept him as President, and in fact view him as an enemy of the Constitution and Republic.

For Obama to refuse to submit documents to verify his eligibility — is certainly justification to deny him the office.

At the end of the day, the Court has never had a case even remotely like this due to the fact that the checks and balances in the Federal Govt have historically worked as intended. In this election, there has been a systemic breakdown that has found its way to the Court as an arbiter of last resort. Anyone who acts like this is run-of-the-mill and that they have any idea of how this will be handled is kidding themselves. This very well could lead to a standard denial of cert on Monday. But it very well may not.

This case goes fundamentally to 1) the primacy of the Constitution over the Executive Branch using the clearest terms and facts possible; AND 2) the ultimate ability of the USSC to assert authority over the Executive Branch through the Court's role as Guardian of the US Constitution. Of course, there have been cases touching on these issues before, however, the bright line precedent that would arise out of this fact pattern provides an opportunity to reinforce the Court's authority over the other Branches in an unmistakable way.

Basically, this is a straight-up mano y mano conflict between the Exec. and the Legis. that the USSC will use to strengthen its power, which is the most important thing, after all.

Hopefully, the SCOTUS judges are smart enough to understand that this issue cannot be swept under the rug and forgotten.

0bama and his minions have given the issue legitimacy by sealing his birth documents in Hawaii which amounts to a cover-up. (Nixon did nothing except attempt a cover-up of watergate).

Perhaps there is some planning going on regarding this case?

I doubt they could coordinate with the white house without word getting out.....coordinate so the white house could prepare a plan for internal security?

While it is never good to get ones hopes up, I do have confidence in at least four of the Justices and every now and then a potential fifth. The SCOTUS has had its share of criticism and rightly so when they have in the past legislated from the bench.

As painful as reality can be, purveyors of the US Constitution do have a sacred duty to uphold the very fabric of our Republic.

Unlike some POTUS who have sworn to do so and failed without much consequence, it seems unlikely the last line of defense of the Constitution would ignore a potential violation of the document....

I personally believe that whatever happens here, that it will NOT be the end of it.

Let’s hope the guy in the wheelchair at the fortified presidential palace—protected by a standing army, etc.—was right!

Circumstances can work both ways—and we’re due for a break (no pun)!
