Seems to me the supreme court consists of a bunch of folks who are smart enough to figure out that if there are any questions about whether Obama is a citizen, then they darn well ought to hear the case. Since they decided to not hear the case, then they must have thought this case did not have enough merit to cast doubt on the matter.
I think you give too much credit to the SCOTUS.
They have proved in the past that they are a very political body (hence Roe v. Wade) and that the rule of law is not always their highest motivation.
I also think they are deferring this “hot potato” to the US Congress who has to approve the candidate elected by the Electoral College. They can then claim that the will of the people has been accomplished (who cares about the US Constitution?).
Wow, thank goodness for your 1st post, oh wise one.
I guess we can now end the countless arguing that has been ongoing here over the last 12 months.
That is wishful thinking... and you are whistling in the dark. Read the case briefs yourself. You tell me why Obama refuses to disclose any record of his past... and I do not mean some copy of a COLB that is issued to every TD&H who happens to pass through the state of Hawaii.
This thing stinks worse than 3-day-old fish. There is something terribly wrong here. There is going to be real trouble coming our way because of this indifference to the most basic of our laws.
We cannot even get a proper review of what is arguably the most important Constitutional issue facing this nation, because our elected officials and judges are scared to be called “racist” or else tainted by some other liberal-induced propaganda.
Are the PTB afraid their precious cities will burn? So the cities burn. So what? That would clean out three fourths of the riff-raff that has infested our nation. Let the fools torch their own homes. Let them kill each other. Let them starve and freeze to death. Good riddance to the reprobates.
There is now none standing to stop any foreign power from subverting us. There is no check and balance on the corruption of power.
They have us all in a sweat by their damn threats, and we are running with our tail between our legs. We are afraid of our own shadows because of political correctness run amok. Our leaders are cowards in plain English. It is high time we start making some threats of our own... AND CARRY THEM OUT FOR ONCE!

Nice try, Michelle, but no sale. Any executive order he signs and any legislation he signs into law is quite likely to offend the left or the right. Expect a long line of challenges based on the lack of proof of eligibility. When one of the challenges adds in a significant number of offended middle/moderate/independent people to join either the left or the right, that's when the fireworks start.
Suppose Obama is not eligible for office. By what means do you think the issue could be resolved peacefully? If Barack Obama were disqualified at this point, there would be major riots and the result would be a major crisis of legitimacy. Although the Constitution would give Electors and Congress essentially plenary authority to select the President, anyone they select would be widely seen as illegitimate. I think many judges would rather allow in someone they knew to be illegitimate than have someone appointed to office contrary to the people's vote.
Any demand that Obama produce documentation prior to the counting of EC votes in Congress would have the problem that (1) if they hold that failure to produce the documentation prior to the count would disqualify Obama, they've got the mess above; (2) if failure to produce documentation doesn't disqualify Obama, then he would have no reason to comply with the demand.
On the other hand, the judges would have an option to keep an illegitimate president out of office without having to actually disqualify him. They could rule that Barack Obama is free to take as long as he wants to produce the necessary documentation; Joe Biden (assuming he can supply his own credentials) can serve as Acting President until such time as Barack demonstrates eligibility. If the Court were to do that, there would be no need to say at any point that Obama was disqualified. If some prestigious ambassadorship or something opened up somewhere, Barack could announce that he thought Joe Biden was a good President, and his own skills would actually be put to better use in that other position. The issue of Obama's legitimacy would thus be rendered moot.
No, they are afraid of the truth. If the truth is pursued, it could mean rioting all over the nation by disaffected minorities.
