So, if the courts find them eligible to be president, will any of you let this go? I think not.
I am not sure that you understand how this will go. It makes little difference which way the initial decision goes as long as all the pertinent evidence is presented. Most likely the only ones who will be ruled to have “standing” are the other candidates in the race. It is possible that Carson is hanging on to add his name to some of these suits.
If any of the cases are found to have standing and a decision is made it will be appealed immediately. At that point the decision will be reviewed by three federal judges. Then the majority decision that they make would be appealed to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court my or may not take the case. If they do... with the current makeup of the court they would likely dead lock and the appeals court ruling would stand. If they decided not to hear the case the appeals court ruling would also stand. Either way it is questionable whether a definitive ruling will actually be reached before the primary is over.
If Rubio or Cruz is nominated and then found to be ineligible; the GOP insiders will decide who to run against Hillary. How much do you want to bet that it would be their favorite guy Mitt? At that point we could just go ahead and give Hillary the oath of office, because there probably wouldn’t be much of a point in holding the General.
I would love to hear from some of the many lawyers that frequent Free Republic and have them give their esteemed analysis.
It really doesn't matter what the lawyers say and they do argue both sides, it only matters what the Supreme Court says. They can decide that a tax is a penalty and a penalty is a tax. Just depends on what they desire.
