Anyone hoping for anything else but a rehash of the same-old same-old might just as well believe Santa himself will come down his chimney this Christmas with "Obama"'s original Kenyan birth certificate in his sack.

I wonder at what point it will sink in that we've been played, pacified in the ever-extending wait for the "universe shattering" stuff to come out.
(And seriously, compared to the birth certificate, nothing Zullo has testified about qualifies as "universe shattering".) And don't even get me started about the "new evidence" that "will convince even the greatest skeptic" that the BC is a forgery - nothing to see here, move along.
Note that the "we" in the previous paragraph refers to most of the crowd here, not all. I've said years ago (after the big promised March press conference never came) that Zullo is just trying to string us along, but I've only been called names for stating the obvious.

Right now, this is nothing but a distraction (any GOP candidate without two citizen parents or birth in the US won't open that can of worms either because the courts and Congress will again punt on the issue).
The only substantial issue is people taking to the streets. Nothing else will accomplish anything.

This would amount to having a court decide a matter of legal interest (anyone can craft a contract such that filling one field would amount to having to "decide" a legal question).
The merely abstract danger that someone could perjure himself will likely not confer standing.
(Just remember how courts in "birther" cases ruled that the mere abstract danger that a future candidate might be ineligible is not enough to establish standing.)
There simply is no "case or controversy" in the legal sense.
[NB. Don't discuss standing as a legal concept with me here. We can only discuss how the courts actually rule, not how we would like them to.]

First, SCOTUS resolves "conflicts" between Circuit Court of Appeals rulings, it does not care about ballot commissions.
Second, what conflict are you referring to? Is there a state that has ruled different from NH?

Sure, any day now. He preferred to joke about Rosie O'Donnell when he could've mentioned the birth certificate. What a clown!
