I’m in the D.C. area, and this is the most info I’ve found on the SCOTUS involvement with BHO’s COLB.

Nothing will come of this since even conservatives are marginalizing as kooks, anyone who takes Obama’s birth certificate issue seriously.

Yeah. It’s getting bad. I post over at HotAir (not for much longer, I’m sure) and they are calling anyone who even wants a court to establish BHO’s eligibility (including many more aspects than just the birth certificate) to be “Truthers”. They’re offering moronic arguments and resting on the idea that the COLB that popped up on Kos in the middle of the night (along with the newspaper announcement) constitutes adequate proof of … whatever they think needs proving.
Personally, I just want the SCOTUS to establish what “natural-born citizen” means and who should be responsible for certifying that someone is a “natural-born American”. I tend to agree with Leo D’Onofrio (who doesn’t even address the birth certificate or place of birth issue) that it means anyone who was born an American citizen, ONLY an American citizen, and has been nothing but an American citizen ever since. I know that there is no actual wording that states that, but if that were not the case, then an American President would be able to take on another citizenship during his tenure as President! I cannot believe that anyone would consider that to be sensible, in any way - and I think we could all guess that the Founders would be puking at the very thought of this possibility. But many on the right are busy calling me all kinds of names and offering one dumb argument after another. It is very sad to watch all this, because it means something very, very bad.

I would just add to my above comment that the other possibility is that people think that “natural-born citizen” status is something that can come and go as one picks up other citizenships and relinquishes them (which sounds pretty ridiculous, though it would have to apply in BHO’s case since he has admitted to one extra citizenship, Kenyan, and there is ample evidence pointing to two possible others, British and/or Indonesian) or relinquishes US citizenship, having been a “natural-born citizen” and getting the citizenship back at some point. This would lead to equally ridiculous situations.
Given the number of dual/multiple citzens in America these days, I cannot believe that anyone thinks it’s a good idea not to have the parameters for these cases firmly established, one way or another.

Obama’s Presidential Non eligibility is purely a non event. The election is long over and no responsible party would wish for nulification of the results. Heavens to Betsy, have we not enough on our plates,(war, recession, stock market meltdown,housing collapse,calls for bail-outs, Simpson trial revisited) than delving with this nonsense? Belman can you please spare us- we all have had more than we can take!!

FIFY
There is nothing more dangerous than intentionally ignoring Constitutional requirements, whether for reason of fear or embarrassment or anything else. We are a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. Our Founders understood all too well the problems with Democracies:
Without limits placed on the whims of mobs, without a clear architecture delineating the separation of powers, without the intricate systems of checks and balances that are at the very heart of the foundation of the United States, chaos is sure to follow. The fact that we have so many other problems right now makes it even more imperative than ever to maintain the rule of law, and it must be the law that has worked so well for the US for over 200 years. To approach the Constitution as an a la carte menu of recommendations is to destroy the basis of US governance and to ensure our demise. And if that were to happen, the rest of the world would quickly find out how much of world stability has been dependent on US strength and stability for lo these many years.

Interesting. Even if Supre Court decides not to take the case, or decides the case is without merit, the fight will go on.

The article states the “fight will go on” by lawsuits. So what do you care? Either they will be denied in court or they’ll succeed in getting a court order for the release of the original certificate. Does that make you care? Is there something to hide?
Did you whine so much from 2000 on because you couldn’t count chad stubs? Phony!
