too bad
SCOTUS is one of the very few courts that controls its own docket so is free to decide, with or without giving a reason, what cases it will hear on the merits. Over 95% of the applications to SCOTUS are rejected without giving a reason exactly as happened here, so the disposition of this case without a reason is not in the least unusual. (Yes, I am a lawyer).
I do not believe a dissent is written for an application for a writ of certiorari. All they did was decide not to review the trial court record.
“Told ya so.”
Big freakin’ deal...that doesn’t make you an intellect! We all knew it would probably fail..but that doesn’t mean it should....or that we shouldn’t try, and continue to try. That’s what’s wrong with the GOP, with the whole system...people with no backbone to try to correct what’s wrong..even though they get slapped down...then to get up and try again. That’s the American fabric.
I posted the news a few minutes b4 you did - the post was there ... then it was gone, along with 2 replies ...
What the hell happened to my Post???
Why are you asking me?
Look at how well the SCOTUS has done for us after 20 years of a GOP White House. (heavy sarcasm here)
We are no closer to overturning Roe vs. Wade than we were 10-20-30 years ago.
And now this?????
I guess these "FReepers", who talk tough about how many guns they own and how they're up for any challenge, couldn't stomach the possibility of riots from the Obama zombies. Bunch of phony keyboard warriors...
Counting the Donfurio case there were 16 suits in 12 states. I don't think today (lack of) ruling affects the other 15.
Without reading more ... Cr*p! ;-(
one can hope can’t one...??....if they do not give a reason then imho i think the American people should demand answers...this falls at the heart of our constitution....
There were several and the mods probably took all down but one. This one apparently.
VALJEAN 2012!!!!!1!
Why are you asking me?

general information ... I don’t think you did it, but until your Post showed up ... I thought FR was being slammed by hackers.
Does this happen often - posting, then it gets yanked?
YOUR new regime begins January 20th,2009 good luck pal
Anyone got any evidence that he wasn’t born in Hawaii? If not, you’ll have a hard time convincing anyone that this isn’t a complete waste of time.
Thank you. I trust Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia and if there was anything to this they would have gone after it. Tinfoil sales have become strong due to some of the posters here.
There also are cases coming from EC Electors that are pledged to McCain from several states. This according to the Democratic-Disasters group.
Certainly the Electors would have standing
No surprise... I didn’t look for this to go anywhere. I don’t know that I want SCOTUS deciding elections but I do know that Obama has something to hide and I am afraid it’s going to bite us in the hind quarters in a very bad way some day.
What do we say when members of our military are put on trial somewhere for following the orders of an improperly elected Commander in Chief?
Or that some treaty or agreement is void because The One signed it?
Thisis not going to go away and I am afraid it going to lead to a president Arnold... or worse.
There were several and the mods probably took all down but one. This one apparently.
Well ... at least they coulda told me ...
