Sorry, I couldn't resist. :P
Well, if nothing else, this will slow Obama and his Administration from their treasonous usurping of the Constitution, if only for a few minutes.
Alleges??? It's a been done deal. After the fact Jack!
The only out I can see for most of them is to GitRDone before the end of their term, or face charges.
‘it will be the same as allowing the political interests in the United States to amend the U.S. Constitution at will.’
NOT HARDLY

Ping..................
‘There have been so many of these cases/the fix is in’ ping to self.
“A petition for writ of certiorari has been filed . . .”
Good luck with that.
If the supreme court does not address a clear 14th amendment violation we are a nation without a foundation of law. It is whatever the ruling class says it is, and could likely lead to civil war, and is certainly leading to national bankruptcy.
A criminal justice department is denying our military access to the the vote; our money is being spent on criminal enterprises like Acorn created to deny us our sufferage rights; our courts are evading the dicta of over a dozen supreme court justices as well as the clarification in the Congressional archives by the principal author, Congressman John Bingham of the most important citizenship ruling in our history, the 14th amendment,
I find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen….
If our representatives won't represent us, or uphold the Constitution, we must replace them all, and there are more than enough of us to enforce the allegiance they have promised us but ignored, as beholden as they are to to lobbyists and special interests who promise them the big money. The only legislator with the integrity to question Obama's eligibility, Nathan Deal of Georgia, was attacked as he knew he would be, with the resources for which we paid, using the IRS, the House Ethics Committee and the justice deparment. Follow the Kerchner Apuzzo writ at http://puzo1.blogspot.com If the court continues to evade its responsibility our "government of laws, and not of men" is broken and those of us who produce the wealth must take it back for our children by whatever means necessary, since the law is impotent.
It appears that the supreme court many other judges would pefer to aid and abet treason, rather than uphold the constitution.
What makes them think these same failed arguments will convince the court this time?
Sorry, I couldn't resist. :P
I wonder why. Do they know something? Do they have reason to suspect something?
Perhaps they do not want precipitate nationwide riots that are likely to occur should the first black president be removed from office.
I have no doubts that the Justices lives would be seriously at risk should they remove BHO from office by a ruling from the bench.
I the USSC chooses not to hear the case they do not typically give a reason so I expect to hear nothing from them on this case.
When politicians stand on "principle" as an excuse for inactivity, or to avoid doing the hard work and making the tough choices, it can easily be dismissed as incompetence and terminal self interest.
When observers and commentators, yes, even including Glen Beck and Bill O'Reilly play the "we're a nation of laws" card, it is embarrassing. When two of the three branches of government ignore the Constitution with impunity, that "nation of laws" thing becomes meaningless. "Making change through the ballotbox" is impossible, when both the keepers of the ballot box and those who are charged with supervising them are criminally incompetent, or simply criminal.
Then what?
There is something unsettling about accused criminals arrogantly claiming that they have the authority to interpret the Constitution by default, Obama and Pelosi come to mind, with the help of hundreds of others, including, apparently, most of the lower federal courts.
If Speaker Boehner refuses to act, there will be no remedy, period. The Supreme Court will not provide any remedy here and the Supreme Court would not provide any remedy here if the four most conservative justices on the court were the only ones voting.
Either we will have impeachment proceedings or we can pound sand and history will regard people like us as nothing more than ignorant cranks.
No controlling legal authority. We pulled a fast one on the American people and so far, we have gotten away with it.
The Supreme Court could take action to vouchsafe the Constitution here, yet still (appropriately) throw this question back in the political arena, by ordering the Solicitor General to brief certain neutral questions relevant to the issue of granting Cert. IOW, don’t take cert., but hold the petition for cert. open following briefs on the following questions.
These questions are:
What congressional procedures are in place to evaluate whether, and ensure that, a candidate is constitutionally eligible to serve as President of the United States?
What standard is applied by Cogress to determine if a candidate is constitutionally eligible to serve?
What, if any, process for review of Congress’ decision on eligibility is available?
What, if any, remedy is available if Congress fails to follow its procedures for determining eligibility?
If these questions were ordered to be briefed, by the SG or even both parties, this entire issue would go back to Congress and they would have to wrestle it and come up with the answers. This is where the issue should be, and the process of having to answer these questions would, in large part, answer the case.
Moreover, this is a necessary discussion for Congress to have as this issue will come up again in the future and there is no need for the nation to keep going through this.
