I hope you’re right.

According to comments on a number of earlier threads, it only takes 4 votes in conference to put it on the court’s schedule. So they don’t need Stevens at this stage.

And if they DO vote to move forward, then it will be simply impossible for the news media to ignore it.

But I’m not sure why they would wait until now to take action.

It may be that he needed to be certified by the congress first, Now that that has happened we are all clear.

They waited till now so that Berg (and you and I) have standing.

They may not even have to “hear” the case, if they go through a kind of discovery process, to get the BC...Don't completely understand how it works maybe BP can explain it.
Thus far BO has not answered the complaint. If he doesn't soon he forfeits that right.

RE: MSM There are so many people who truly didn't pay attention during class or who have forgotten the lessons then, it really is best if the MSM ignores the issue until the Court can issue their findings......

The finding may be out before the MSM and BO knows what hits them.....They have been looking at the issue for weeks and have had plenty of time to have staff research and individual thoughts organized to write their findings.

You may be surprised at the results!

There is a huge difference between the DBM ignoring what is going on and reinventing what is going on! That's probably more like what they will do.

Some folks have commented that perhaps SCOTUS had to wait until a crime had been committed. Now that Congress has not verified the President-elect, perhaps now SCOTUS will step in to uphold the Constitution.
