‘Rubio is not eligible. Jindal is not eligible.’
Add this -’Mitt Romney is not eligible, because his father was a Mexican (born in Mexico!), with no record that he was ever naturalized to be a US citizen prior to Mitt’s birth!

I think I will suggest to Mario Apuzzo and/or Mr Iron, the attorney for John dummett, the pres candidate, to file suit against Romney for his ineligibility to be president. Wouldn’t that solve the problem of the E shoving down our throats another RINO who is NOT even constitutionally eligible? Why fight the hard way?

The alleged "damages" to Iron's client would probably be within a state primary contest, therefore suit would be brought in state courts. If heard and settled either way, the appeals would then take it up the ladder. The chances of any of this affecting Obama are nil.

Of course, if one state election official in any state ordered Romney removed from that state's ballot, the appeal of that decision would move much more quickly up the ladder to the SCOTUS, one hopes. However, the SCOTUS, IMHO, could in this case merely order the lower court to conduct discovery, let the lower court decision stand, or as is most likely, do nothing by refusing to hear the appeal.

The arguments over eligibility are bad enough. The refusal of the higher courts to hear the cases on their merits is far worse. It is imho, an absolute dereliction or abdication of their clear judiciary responsibility to the Constitution, no matter what they rule.
