SCOTUS can read tea leaves

To discover what??? original intent??? We're just hoping they can read the Constitution.

The SCOTUS takes up very few cases each year, (around 50 out of 6000-8000 petitioned). The cases taken each have very refined points of Constitutional law that are lost on most of us. It could be that the points covered in Wrotnowski have more significant implications re the Constitution.

The very fact that this overriding issue of eligibiility has now been referred twice to Committee says the issue (if not Obama’s eligibility) is ripe for SCOTUS action. Theoretically, SCOTUS deals only with points of Constitutional law, not personalities.

why is it stronger?

More time and effort went into preparing a far more detailed brief that makes arguments which were missing in Leo’s brief.

Your question is most astute. By the Obama sending lawyers out (when running for office initially in Illionois!) to hide every aspect of his personal history, then this issue of divided loyalties floats to the top via his refusing to show proof of eligibility according to the Constitutional requirements, one can reasonably presume there are connections between hiding his college entry papers, college funding requests, and travel documentation for passport used at age 20.

More may actually sign on ... think of the legacy for this case and the judges’ name in History.

THANKS! I had missed the exact wording in the 20th amendment. "If the President elect shall have failed to qualify”. It makes a lot of sense that the SCOTUS wouldn't rule until after the Electoral College meets. BTW, I love your screenname.

Same thing and will be the same result. They are just milling them through so they can deny them. *sigh*

OK troll. A quick look at your (brief) posting history confirms you are a troll.

I’ll remember to ping you so you can gloat some more and ridicule your fellow freepers. Want you to get you full mony’s worth ... you do contribute to the FR fund raisers, right?

Because without the assumed 95% of black votes the Rodham rodent couldn’t win a cake walk.

The Court isn’t going to touch this with a ten-foot-pole. The fact that we don’t know how the private conference went does not mean there is any realistic chance of them hearing it.

I disagree. If someone can make a compelling case, the Court will touch it. Donofrio's case wasn't compelling enough and was riddled with issues. If Cort's case can draw 4 votes, then this thing will explode and O'dummy's sphincter will be in a spasm.

The 20th Amendment only seems to apply if the person to become President dies. Take a closer look.

What this situation becomes is somewhat up in the air.

It must have been completely vaporized because there’s no evidence of any remains!

The other way to look at it, though, is that maybe they are distributing the cases because then the whole court is in on the denial.

Hard to say.
