Re: Obama's attorney could simply file a response arguing that the trial court acted properly in dismissing the suit for lack of standing and never get to the merits.

This does not go far enough. There is another party to the suit, the US government, since Berg also sued the US Election Commission.

Obama need not respond at all, and simply leave the work to the US government, which is likely to file a response through the Solicitor General.

It is most unlikely that the Supreme Court will take the case, and even if it did, it would only be dealing with the legal issue of whether Berg and others like them have standing to sue in such cases. If Berg won, then they'd send the case back to a lower court to hear the evidence.

scratchman, That story to which you provided a link is inaccurate in one key respect. Justice Souter's order does not require Obama to provide his original birth certificate; it merely requires him to respond to Berg's writ of cert. Obama's attorney could simply file a response arguing that the trial court acted properly in dismissing the suit for lack of standing and never get to the merits.
