The bottom line is that no court will - or should - now bar BHO from taking office in 2009.
If I recall correctly, when U.S. Supreme Court Justices are sworn in, they swear an oath to defend and protect the Constitution. How can they, as a co-equal branch of our government, permit a violation to go forward of a constitutionally-mandated qualification for serving as president?

Berg may not have had standing and the lower courts might not have the power to do so, but I see the U.S. Supreme Court as the final arbiter as to whether or not a candidate can legitimately and constitutionally assume the office.

As far as our government is concerned, that may be true, but there is one "final arbiter", and that is The People.
