This is a surprisingly accurate story from the AP.
“not Hawaii as Obama says and the Hawaii secretary of state has confirmed.”
I didn’t think that the Hawaii secretary of state confirmed that...
The AP story is ALMOST “accurate” - the story says that Pennsylvania court*s* have dismissed Berg’s case.
Not true. It *is* true that the Third Circuit denied Berg’s first emergency application. However, (a) his appeal is still alive; and (b) his new emergency motion has not yet been ruled on. (Appellees’ briefs are due Dec. 19, I believe).
In other words, only the PA federal district court has dismissed his case.
******IMPORTANT******
Even if SCOTUS denies Berg’s pending writ, remember - he still has an appeal pending in the Third Circuit.
And, if the Third Circuit upholds the District Court’s decision, Berg could, conceivably, return to SCOTUS to file another “regular” writ petition related to that order.
Except for the “confirmed” part.
