He can appeal to the next court up on the list, SCOTUS basically never takes cases directly from the district courts, though it is in theory possible.

He can appeal on ‘issues of law’, which this was, he can appeal the ruling that ordinary citizens don’t have standing to challenge the eligibility of candidates for political office.

I know from the other threads on this that prior case law is against him, but I find that worrying, if a citizen can’t challenge the eligibility of a candidate, who can? If we were to run the Governator (RINO that he is), would anyone have standing to challenge him, or could we just go ahead and do it?

At very least I wish from the court that they define who does have standing in cases like this. Then we can light a fire under those who are responsible to do their job.

Why do I get the impression that we’re facing “ no controlling legal authority” again?
