I believe that a serious jurist would want the case to be so completely solid that it would answer all similar and pending challenges of Constitutional eligibility.

Makes sense to me. My impression is that no judge likes to have his rulings overturned; whether ego or integrity, most judges want their very-public record to make them look good. A "serious jurist" wants, I imagine, the same thing, but is motivated by his sense of justice and respect for the law. Perhaps that is what we have in Judge Carter....

And a good portion of the serious minded American Public continue to ask, why is Barack Obama going to such lengths to hide the most basic pieces of his past?

And why have so few cared (for instance the completely AWOL press corps?)
