[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 810210, member: 22662"] I agree that it is not up to the SC to vett a candidate [B]unless[/B] there is a constitutional question as to the validity of the candidate. There are those who say there is. If the SC agrees that the case has merit all that would have to happen is for the SC to grant cert and they would have jurisdiction. I would even go so far to suggest that whatever court allowed Obama's records to be sealed, the SC could overturn that ruling on appeal as well. The SC hears the cases they want to hear. Here the kicker: for now, I don't think either side wants the case anywhere but where it is. Democrats see the whole issue as a way of painting the far right as birther crazies with their hands in the Chamber of Commerce's pockets and Republicans get to use it to rile up the base about the foreign-secretly-Muslim-plant. I doubt that anyone truly believe the future of the United States is in peril. Except Baba, that is. [/QUOTE]
