Just because your personal opinion is that the actions of the Supreme Court are arbitrary doesn’t make it so. The Court has operated within its traditionally established procedures on all the cases that have reached it regarding Obama’s eligiblity. Thus far it just hasn’t ruled the way that you might want it to.
Monday will be another decision. Let’s all just wait and see what happens.
And then there will be even another opportunity during the following week for the Court to grant a Petition for a Writ of Certioari (asking the Court to agree to hear oral arguments on a case).
The case that this thread is about, Lightfoot v Bowen is asking the high court to hear oral arguments in a case that is requesting that Debra Bowen, the Secretary of State of California be required via an emergency stay that would be issued by the high court to block the vote of the California electors for Barack Obama until his eligibilty has been established. Since the California electors have already voted and since Vice President Cheney has already certified the vote of the entire Electoral College, this case is seeking to achieve a very difficult retroactive action.

Justice Anthony Kennedy has already denied the Petition for a Writ of Certioari and Justice Roberts’ law clerk has read the legal brief and submitted his opinion to Justice Roberts by last Friday. Justice Roberts has either sought three other Justices to agree to hear oral arguements or he has followed Justice Kennedy’s lead and will deny the petition with or without comment. We should all know on Monday.
