It won’t happen again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

The federal judiciary should still have jurisdiction in the cases that have come up. SCOTUS could have heard any of them on the merits.

Where’s that quote from one of the Founding Fathers saying that a court or judge refusing to hear a critical case is just as bad as ruling wrongly? I can’t believe that a conservative justice would either joke or boast about “evading” such a critical issue which has so much of the nation in turmoil. I can’t help but have a gut-level feeling that SCOTUS is compromised by some kind of threat.

What do you think is holding up progress on a Boyd Richie investigation?

Not according to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as I understand them. That's my beef with birthers. They'd have the law twisted or broken if it meant getting an improper eligibility case before the judiciary. Obama has no respect for the law. That's why justice must be served according to the letter of the law.

Regarding the investigation of Boyd Richie, I suspect the AG believes it would be a waste of time and money.
