Forgive me, but I disagree completely.

This is clearly a constitutional matter which directly affects the very legality of this country. I believe they will hear it. Either this case or one of the others.

You cannot make the logical assumption that because they did not hear the previous cases, that they will not hear this one, or any other future case. That logic fails.

The Vietnam War is a completely different case, with different underlying constitutional issues. The case itself and how it may or may not be written has a great deal to do with whether or not it gets a hearing.

You also neglect to note that many of the cases the SCOTUS refused to hear were cases that were brought directly to it. The court rarely ever hears those cases. It has to come to it from the court system. You should know better than this. That was a subtle and misleading statement you made.

Sorry, but I am going to utterly disagree with you. May as well move onto the next poster.

The Supreme Court denied certiorari in every Obama case brought to it, including at least seven cases which came up from lower courts.

Disagree all you want, but time will prove me right. SCOTUS will never hear an Obama eligibility case (unless some lower court finds Obama ineligible, in which case they will hear the case and reverse). I speak not as a defender of Obama (I think he is a terrible President), but as a lawyer who knows something of the way the court system works. If there was ever a nonjusticiable "political question," this is one.
