Prez O\'s Kenyan grandmother/stepgrandmother made some off the cuff comment about being present at his birth. So on the strength of that, folks are bringing forth these law suits to produce the long copy of his BC that would so called \'confirm\' that he was indeed born in the US. Apparently, Hawaiian officials have confirmed that they do indeed have a long copy on file for him, so they dropped the lawsuit in their state against him. I assume that until a court compels Prez Elect to produce that specific document (which apparently isn\'t necessary), he won\'t, and just let it be. There are dozens of similiar suits out there for the same thing</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-4174891" class="dsq-comment-message">From a Dkos diary<br><br><i>So what\'s actually happening with the citizenship case?  Plaintiff sought injunctive relief in a District Court.  Not only was his injunctive relief denied, but his case was dismissed for lack of standing.  He appealed it to the Third Circuit, which affirmed the dismissal.  He filed a cert petition and emergency relief petition to Souter.  Souter denied it.  He then tried to present it to Thomas.  Thomas said "we\'ll deal with it at a cert conference, but I\'ll ask it go on the next conference, on the off chance that someone expresses interest, since your case would be moot if we pushed it back further."  This afternoon, the Justices will meet for a routine conference to deal with the cert petitions.  This case almost certainly won\'t even be specifically mentioned, but simply added to the long list of "denials" that issue.  There won\'t be four votes to grant cert, much less five votes to grant a stay.  An order to that effect will issue Monday or Tuesday.  There\'s no strangeness, no shennanigans--just standard court procedure.  Stop freakin\' out, folks.&lt;\\i&gt;</i></div>\

It is a routine process and they are formalizing it by issue a denial of hearing as they do with many cases where the US Supreme Court lets the lower court ruling stand by denying to hear the case.<br><br>So, Thomas is probably right in that this will be the end of it as opposed to the Souter denial leaving the possibility for the case to come up again.<br><br>Thomas could be doing Obama a big favor by insuring the request is specifically denedl on the record.

Even if, as can be the case under Rule 22, the matter can be submitted to another justice for consideration, that justice out of respect, will reject it also, said Trevor Morrison, a professor of law at Columbia University School of Law.<br><br>Morrison said that Thomas’s actions are once in a decade. “When that does happen, the case has to be of an extraordinary nature and this does not fit that circumstance,” he said. “My guess would be that Thomas accepted the case so it would go before the conference where it will likely be denied. If Thomas denied the petition, then Donofrio would be free to go to the other justices for their consideration. “This way, I would guess, the matter would be done with. Petitions of Donofrio’s types are hardly ever granted.”<br><br><a href="http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/tapped" rel="nofollow">http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/tapped</a></div>\
