Seems, not surprisingly, a might disdainful .. like
they’re flicking a gnat.

What’s the judge do with that?

That’s one way to look at it, another is: “we trust that you esteemed ladies and gentleman will reach a just decision without any input from us.”

The very first Obama eligibility suit to reach the Supreme Court for cert conference was Berg v Obama. Everyone thought that Justice Souter had given Obama a date to show his original birth certificate, but Obama’s attorneys didn’t respond to the Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, just like this petition, and the Berg suit was denied by the Court.
It takes the concurrence of four of the nine justices to grant a petitition and to hear an appeal before the full court. That is known as the Supreme Court’s tradition of “the rule of four.”

A Supreme Court justice may be removed if impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Shirking their responsibility in deciding such a deep-rooted Constitutional issue such as this can be shown to be an impeachable offense. It is, after all, their job they avoid. Perhaps it is time to push on these decision makers. They are vulnerable, and the grass roots have shown their strength this November.
