Voters accepted Barack Obama's qualifications, as did Chief Justice Roberts, because no concrete evidence of the fraud had been presented in a manner sufficient to change their actions. Now, citizens are seeking to have the power of the court fix this mistake.

I believe that a serious jurist would want the case to be so completely solid that it would answer all similar and pending challenges of Constitutional eligibility.

Makes sense to me. My impression is that no judge likes to have his rulings overturned; whether ego or integrity, most judges want their very-public record to make them look good. A "serious jurist" wants, I imagine, the same thing, but is motivated by his sense of justice and respect for the law. Perhaps that is what we have in Judge Carter....
