The Rule of Four says four Supreme Court Justices must be willing to hear a case before it can be reviewed.

Of the four allegedly "liberal" Justices, Obama's pick, Kagan, must recuse herself from the case because, as Obama's Solicitor General, she argued for lengthening Siegelman's prison term.

Obama sealed Don's fate. A pardon ain't gonna happen.
