The Supreme Court refused each of those cases because they are not a Trier of Fact. They are a Judicial Review Court....ie they do not hear testimony arguing facts, they listen to arguements about points of law and how they are correctly applied to the case at hand....When a case is tried in one of the lower courts, the USSC will then take up the matter upon someone’s appeal and we will get a Constitutional ruling....not until then....I have full confidence that eventually it will reach our highest Court..... and Obama will be out on his ear!

I understand how the Supreme Court works and every one of the seven previous Obama eligibility cases that was sent to the Supreme Court had also worked its way up through the federal court system: District level and Court of Appeals level.
Still they were denied Writs of Certiorari under the Supreme Court’s tradition of “The Rule of Four” meaning there weren’t four of the nine justices agreeing to hear the constitutional issues in those cases before the full court. The Supreme Court actually hears about 1% of the cases that are sent to them.

Time will tell with regard to this latest attempt. I’ll leave the crystal ball gazing to you.
