Roberts didn’t have to accept it. In the Berg case Kennedy denied an application on the second submittal after Souter denied it. Then it was sent to Scalia on the 3rd try and he referred it.

If these cases keep coming back perhaps it’s time for the SCOTUS to start wondering why.

Yes, it was just added, in the last 90 minutes.
It stems from this, shortly after Christmas:
As you know, my petition for stay in Lightfoot v Bowen is in front of Chief Justice Roberts. I Fed Exed it on Monday, Dec 22, and it was received and signed for on Dec 23rd. I was told by the clerk responsible for stays, Mr. Danny Bickle, that they couldn't find the package for A WEEK, even though it was signed for. On the 29th it was given to Chief Justice Roberts. Typically decisions on stay are issued within a couple of days. It has been a week since Chief Justice Roberts officially received the package and 2 weeks since it was actually received by the Supreme Court, and there is no decision yet from Roberts. Maybe it is his strategy to simply sit on it indefinetely, trying to avoid showing to 320 million American citizens where does he really stand in regards to the Constitution of this country: is he willing to hear an oral argument in defense of the Constitution or is he willing to let it be torn apart. Chief Justice Roberts owes us an answer and he owes it immediately, when a petition for an emergency stay is concerned. By sitting on it and refusing to issue a decision, he is de facto allowing one to be confirmed and inaugurated president of the country by fraud, he is allowing a mockery of the Constituion.

If a party wants the Supreme Court to grant a stay, they must make that motion to a specific Justice (there is one assigned to each region of the country). If that Justice denies the stay, the party can make the motion again to any other Justice they want. That second Justice will usually then refer the motion to the full Court so it can be denied definitively; otherwise, the party seeking a stay can keep making the motion to one Justice after another. Both Berg’s and Donofrio’s cases sought a stay of the electoral college vote; each motion was denied by the assigned Justice. Berg and Donofrio each made the same motion to a second Justice, that Justice assigned it to the conference, and the motions were denied 0-9, with no comment and no dissent. I anticipate that the same thing will happen this time.

3 days AFTER the inauguration. Does anyone think they'll hand the Presidency to Joe Biden? This is lunacy.

True. They need to at least ask for Obama to provide his BC, that would kill it. That’s unless his BC says he was born in Kenya, if so then the fun just begins. Forgery/Fraud/Coverup charges. Makes Nixon look like a honor boy scout.

That Obama being impeached, Biden becomes prezident and appoints Hillary as VP.Maybe that is the accepted plan. He gets his "historic" first, then resigns when it is "discovered" that he can't really be president. I say we prosecute him and all those who know he couldn't be president.
