You said — “This could all come to an end with Obama’s BC.”

Which is why you’re never going to see it... Obama will make sure of that. Even with him not proving his eligibility — Obama is *getting terrific mileage* out of this issue by “kookifying” all those who pursue this issue.

And, that’s what all the main conservatives (leaders, the Republican Party, websites and so on) are figuring out now...

I know, but I can dream.

You said — “It seems to me that it is a possible indication that there is interest in hearing this case if they had already had a conference on a similar case. Why would Justice Scalia bring this case to conference if they had already heard one and had no interest in hearing this case at all?”

Nope, they’re just figuring out how to quickly *dispose* of the coming cases. They know there are more coming and they are figuring out that this is the way to “seemingly” get it heard, but — “Denied!” ... LOL..

They’ve got their strategy down pretty good in the Supreme Court to lay this issue to rest and bury it...

And then you asked — “Just so that it wouldn’t get re-filed to another Jusitce?”

That sounds like an effective strategy for them to *dump* all these cases in a hurry and to not bug them with more “ring around the rosie” type antics...

That’s fine. I could care less what any of those people think of me anyway.

Meanwhile, they’re being exposed as the useless unprincipled zeroes they are.

Me, just a typical birther person, holding on to my guns and my religion....just me, proudly wearing my birther.com tin foil hat.

I found one that differs, the same one I go to most every day—Diana West. IMHO a really brilliant woman & writer. She appears in the WashTimes also.

Believe me, I hate this mess as much as anyone — but — “the fix is in” as I can see it written all over the place (with our own conservative media, our own leaders, our own people, our *own President*, and our own Presidential Candidate, and even our own “Palin” that we all liked so well).

All the leaders (ours), officials (ours) and candidates (ours), media (ours) are going along with this... And these same are saying that whoever disagrees are the *kooks*....

We’ve been “kookified”... LOL...

I guess the Rush-bots are going to dump Rush Limbaugh now... :-)

Remember that in the ‘30s, as Hitler rose to power, the worldview was that he was a great man who would bring peace and prosperity to Germany. Neville chamberlain ignored the writing on the wall, the wolf’s teeth hidden in the smile.

Hey, lib, I am not saying Obama will not be the next president.

I, and the others you consistently deride, am only saying these things need to be vetted and have the potential of causing problems for his potential presidency.

Start thinking like a conservative.

Well, I like http://www.worldnetdaily.com/ ... They’ve really been going after the Obama Birth Certificate, like gang-busters... BUT, even here, there are FReepers who have labeled WorldNetDaily as a “kook-site”...

Just goes to show you that even FReepers can’t get it right, even with WorldNetDaily...

I already do..., a lot more than Bush, McCain, the Republican Party, many of our Congressmen, a lot of FReepers — but — that’s not going to change the issue about Obama’s Birth Certificate and the fact that I’m *outnumbered* in this country....

There’s a lot of people here who are being “kookified” (i.e., marginalized) by their own Party and their own leaders... that’s the “net result” of what is happening...

We’re not going to have anyone left that anyone listens to... LOL... We’ll end up talking to ourselves and influencing no one at the polls, where the elections occur...

"You only agree with me 90% of the time. Therefore you are my enemy!"

You would be happy to drink water that is 10% poison?

90% puts them right up there with the MSM.

Sorry but I do not see any evidence for that theory.

Oh yes , they call it ‘World Nut Daily’, ‘Whirled Nut ‘ & such. I read about Farah seeing pterodactyls flying over the African jungle. But still, he prints info we can’t get from MSM. Or from Malkin et al, now.
