I hope that you're wrong too. Sadly though, I instinctively know that you're not.

I actually think that the Supreme Court might just address one or more of these suits. It is pretty clear when you have this many lawsuits all across the country regarding the issue of Obama’s citizenship status, that there is a precedent needed to clear this issue up once and for all.

I am sure the supreme court justices are all aware that there have been a number of lawsuits and that that there is no clear path for verifying a candidates eligibility or who has standing to address this. Because of this I do think they will at the very least clarify who has standing to verify a candidates qualifications and perhaps designate how this should be properly addressed.

Maybe I am overly optimistic, but I think that there are at least enough supreme court justices that beleive in the constitution that they will address this, if for no other reason, than because it could create a situation whereby a person who might be ineligible to serve could be sworn in as president. If it were to come to light after Obama was sworn in as president that he was not a natural born citizen, it would clearly be a constitutional crisis and would reflect very badly on the supreme court if they had failed to take a case that could have prevented this.
