SCOTUS heard the Gore v Bush case on the merits and decided it. They knew it was an important issue that had to be resolved so they did.

All any of the “birthers” are asking is that the issue be heard on its merits and resolved according to the best evidence there is, law, and the Constitution.

And that was exactly what was promised by judge Carter until he got a "3AM phone call on the red phone" from Bob Bauer in the White House, and he then changed his mind 180 degrees!!!
