Amicus curiae or amicus curiæ (plural amici curiae) is a legal Latin phrase, literally translated as "friend of the court", that refers to someone, not a party to a case, who volunteers to offer information on a point of law or some other aspect of the case to assist the court in deciding a matter before it. The information may be a legal opinion in the form of a brief, testimony that has not been solicited by any of the parties, or a learned treatise on a matter that bears on the case. The decision whether to admit the information lies with the discretion of the court.
A brief (Latin "brevis", short) or factum (Latin for "act" or "deed") is a written legal document used in various legal adversary systems that is presented to a court arguing why the party to the case should prevail. In England and Wales, the phrase refers to the papers given to a barrister when they are instructed.
Will Judge Roberts really swear in a complete fraud as President? WWW.JB-Williams.com
If they find he hasn’t proved citizenship, they will leave it to Congress to decide how to handle it.
What do you think?
So, to the untrained among us, is this a good thing?
So, OK, who’s Bill Anderson, and who’s paying his amicus filing costs?
He has little choice but too swear him in.
Doesn’t look like it, no.

It means that Berg cannot skip over the federal court in his district.
See my post #12.
Obama can channel the ghost of Abraham Lincoln to swear him in if he so chooses.
Seriously, it may have to be some officer of a court, but Obama probably will select Justice Roberts just for the prestige and to tweak Roberts' conservative nose a little as he stands before him .

Don’t take my word for anything but I am guessing the court has to wait for something to happen, like an underage drinker that has a beer outside a bar vs him being IN the bar and being an underage drinker.
Or as my crystal ball is trying to also decipher, that technically by all laws to date and thats important that they must wait for an additional event of evidence to occur, like the swearing in ceremony. That is just my impression.
I think the courts are playing safe and waiting for tantamount irrefutable evidence that will undeniably prove a verdict and not be subject to years of litigation.

Maybe... get a real job?
I hope Obama has a run-in with Lincoln’s ghost that has been known to haunt the WH. Maybe momma m-i-l will see ol Abe and refuse to live there.
It means, denied.
