and anyone that thinks it makes sense for 0bama to go through all this trouble to avoid showing a simple birth certificate, really needs to stop drinking the kool-aid
When applying for a writ of certiorari the court reads your briefs. If they side for you they grant cert, which means they will review the trial court record and the new briefs that you submit. Then they can decide to hold a hearing.
Not heard. This conference is the high level equivalent of a “grand jury”, where the case is not “heard” but is reviewed in enough detail to decide whether it has any merit at all.
Of note, IIRC, this case _had_nothing_to_do_with_the_birth_certificate_! It revolved around O’s parent’s citizenships, not his actual place of birth.
People must understand that the Supreme Court can only act on what cases are brought before them, and that legal technicalities are extremely important. If no viable BC case is brought before them, they cannot rule on the BC issue!
