Free Republic is running a thread titled, 'Taitz v Democrat Party of Mississippi (and SOS of MS) Order Appointing Special Judge', which was started 2/19/2012 by 'Seizethecarp'
The thread references a 2/17/2012 article on Birther Report
"Say what you will about Dr. Taitz's courtroom litigation skills (urp!), she still can kick the courthouse door open! Perhaps additional competent trial lawyers can join this challenge.
While there could be nothing to prevent another judicial declaration that the Ankeny confabulation is settled law on the definition of NBC to make Barry eligible, another avenue to get an appeal to SCOTUS may have been established.
Fogbowers seem a bit perplexed and offended that this appointment of a retired judge has given standing to "an out-of-state interloper" to challenge precious Barry. Apparently, in MS "any person" has standing to make a ballot challenge so Dr. Taitz did not have to either be a MS "elector" (qualified voter) or have one as a client.
Fogbower lawyer "Bob" (aka "Sgt. Friday Bob") lays out the likely sequence of events in Mississippi:

The following is COMMENT #13 by 'Seizethecarp' in the thread:
“Does anyone know, why didn't Steve Ankeny appeal to SCOTUS?” (COMMENT #11 by 'BigGuy22')
"IIUC the issue became moot once the electoral college and Congress certified the election results with no objections...and Barry was sworn in. After the inauguration there was no remedy that an Indiana state court could provide to the plaintiffs.
In effect the 2012 ballot eligibility challenges are the only available “appeal.”

"IOW, SCOMS has indicated that it has jurisdiction to hear this challenge. It appointed a special judge to preside over the matter.
"The special judge may decide the matter over papers. Or the special judge may order an evidentiary hearing.
"At the end, the special judge will write a recommendation, and send it SCOMS. It can accept or reject the recommendation, or send it back to the special judge with instructions.
"Nb. Taitz is pro se (no client or PHV to get in the way)."
