Supreme Court mum on Obama-birth case - Posted December 5, 2008 2:57 PM

###

No announcement today from the Supreme Court about whether it will hear what I call the Obama-isn't-a-natural-born-citizen-so-he-can't-be-president lawsuit, officially known as Donofrio v. Wells.

As I wrote yesterday, Justice Clarence Thomas had the case listed for the justices' Friday conference where the court's members, among other orders of business, decided what cases to hear arguments on.

Donofrio wasn't announced as one of the two cases the court decided to take. Scotusblog has details on the cases.

I'm told by a Supreme Court watcher that the lack of an announcement doesn't mean the court definitely won't hear Donofrio although he thinks it's safe to say its unlikely the court won't hear the case. The full orders aren't due until Monday.

So we'll just have to stay tuned.

What does it mean that it is unlikely?

Thanks for keeping me in the loop today. I could not wait to take a break and check the latest news on the case this evening.

God Bless the people in this country that are brave enough to bring this subject to the attention of the American people. Still reading and still praying. Regardless of whether or not the Supremes punt this case, Obama is hiding something or else he would be more forthcoming with his records. We need to dog him for the next 4 years to release his records. Something is not right with this picture. PERIOD!!
