Interesting - trying to find some facts on this case, it's hard to get past all the hits from blogs.
So what did I find out? Well, Orly Taitz (who some describe as "Birther Queen") is one of the complainants. She said that the hearing would "be 100 times bigger than Watergate."
Ok, maybe a bit of exaggeration there.. But I found an interesting piece of information on Taitz:

Taitz had earlier received a $20,000 fine for a frivolous suit in Georgia. In that suit, she represented two soldiers who were seeking to avoid deployment over their belief that Obama wasn't eligible to be president.

So what happens now? Well, here's one piece of info I found:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution spoke with attorney Melvin Goldstein, who is not involved with the case, to get some insight on what might happen if the administration simply turned a blind eye to the court order. While unprecedented, he said Malihi could possibly refer the matter to a Fulton County Superior Court judge, who could then decide whether to enforce the subpoena. If necessary, Goldstein suggested, the judge could hold the president in contempt

One thing I haven't found is whether or not any OTHER candidate has been requested to furnish their birth certificates.
