When tomorrow, do you think, will we hear their decision?
This whole thing is FUBAR!
Very disappointing. Is this the end of the road?
SCOTUS is freaking useless.
I’m sick.
Why didn’t the Chief Justice tell Kagan and Sotomayor they HAD To freaking recuse themselves? DOESN”T HE HAVE ANY BALLS????
None what so ever!!
Just curious about your understanding of how much authority John Roberts has as Chief Justice. Could he have forced the recusal of Sotomaeyer and Kagan? The Constitution only mentions the C.J. in regard to matters of impeachment (as far as I know). Do you know if Congress has legislated additional authority or are all justices equally empowered to act out of their own “consciences” in instances such as this one?
There is another eligibility case based on Obamacare that was to be decided in Federal court today. Government hadn't responded and plaintiffs were looking for a default judgement. Any news on that one or any other?
And what difference would their having recused themselves made to the requirement that four justices vote to take the case?
Will get back to you on that, hopefully, shortly.
"Government files their motion to dismiss in Purpura et al. v. Sebelius et al.. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey by Nicholas Purpura and Donald Laster of the Jersey Shore Tea Party Patriots and the New Jersey Tea Party Coalition. Other plaintiffs in the lawsuit include the Colts Neck Tea Party, Jersey Shore Tea Party Patriots, Jackson Tea Party Patriots, Bayshore Tea Party Group and Ocean County Citizens for Freedom. The lawsuit alleges the healthcare bill is unconstitutional on 15 separate counts including Obama's ineligibility. Full brief embedded below."http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/01/government-files-motion-to-dismiss-in.html
And what difference would their having recused themselves made to the requirement that four justices vote to take the case?
----------------------------------------------------
"the "rule of four" is itself not something that is actually set forth anywhere in the Supreme Court's rules or otherwise formally "codified." It is merely longstanding Supreme Court practice. So to say that, with recusals, some sort of "rule of three" would apply is a bit of a non sequitur."
Can you prove DSH wrong on this score, which is backed up elsewhere?
"A party who seeks review of a decision petitions the Court for a writ of certiorari, an ancient pleading form that grants the right for review. The justices deliberate in private on whether the issues presented by the case are significant enough to merit review. They operate under an informal rule of four, which means that certiorari will be granted if any four justices favor it. "http://lawbrain.com/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States
He got a lot a flack from my wife and I here in South Florida!!!
Court cases about the usurper in the W.hut, I would think would be classified as big news issues, but interestingly enough they are never ever mentioned in the Dung Head Media, while the AZ shooting has been covered 24/7, hmmmm???
I believe Scalia was AWOL at the January 14, 2009 meeting!!!
At least one (B-T) admits he/she(?) is an ‘AFTER-BIRTHER”!!!

Really, really, don't you mean speaker Boehner???
According to Human Event; Issa's 10 Target hearings!!!
(10) Obama’s presidential eligibility: This one should be easy to settle once and for all. Even Hawaii’s Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie says President Obama’s birth records should be released. Let’s see what the White House does if a congressional subpoena is issued. For a President who promised transparency, there are an awful lot of his personal documents still under wraps.
“Really, really, don’t you mean speaker Boehner???”
The Constitution is crystal clear on Presidential succession and the Speaker is 3rd in line behind the Vice President.
