The Court did not order the Defendant, President elect Obama, and the DNC to produce his birth certificate, the Court ordered the Defendants to answer the Plaintiff, Counsel Berg's Petition for Writ of Certiorari.
D.B., to answer your question, yes, it is normal procedure, however the Court could have dismissed the Petition without ordering the Defendants to answer, so in essence, counsel Berg has already reached one obstacle. I think the Court will be hard pressed NOT to address the Complaint, but their easy way out, is to say that procedurally, the Plaintiff doesn't have standing, that this is a matter for the Congress.
