Right.
Pluto gets close to the Sun every so often, right?

No.
It's pretty much there whenever anyone with the capability wants to see it.

The people who are saying Nibiru doesn't exist remind of those same people who felt the Earth was flat and the Sun revolved around the Earth.
"We are now calling the hypothetical brown dwarf Tyche instead, after the benevolent counterpart to Nemesis," said Kirkpatrick. "Although there is only limited evidence to suggest a large body in a wide, stable orbit around the sun, WISE should be able to find it, or rule it out altogether."
Even NASA claims there is some evidence it does exist.

A brown dwarf in a wide stable orbit around the sun somewhere in or near the oort cloud would not fit the definition of Nibiru. I have no trouble accepting the possibility of the former, but the latter is quite impossible.

If there were a brown dwarf orbiting the Sun and if there were a planet in orbit around that brown dwarf and if that planet's orbit brought it to the inner Solar System it would be "captured" by the Sun (which, of course, has much stronger gravity than a brown dwarf) or it would be flung out into space never to be seen again by the Sun or the brown dwarf.
Orbital mechanics. No planet can have an orbit which works the way the orbit of "Nibiru" works. Not by itself, not in company with a brown dwarf.

The point being this, let's wait until WISE figures out what is going on before we say something doesn't exist.
What if it acts as a battering ram in the oort cloud or kuiper belt.
In order for a solar system to exist there must be a binary star. Think about it. If there was only one sun in the solar system then every planet orbiting it would rush toward it and be destroyed.

Nice but what does this have to do with NIBIRU??
I'm now officially past the stage of considering NIBIRU/Planet X stuff...
If a huge star/planet was going to impact Earth in 2012 we would be seeing it by now and feeling it's effects...
