Blah, Blah, Blah. Inferior court decisions are just that, Inferior. Common sense tells you what is correct and court decisions do not change the Constitution unless we allow it, so far we have allowed it.

I hold out little hope that sanity will prevail in this issue or any other important portion of the Constitution, since most politicians ignore it in any case.

As I’m sure you are aware, U.S. presidential elections are conducted on a state by state basis through the accumulation of Electoral votes. Therefore state courts are controlling authority on eligibility. Several of the decisions I excerpted were appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States which refused to review the lower court rulings so those rulings stand as settled law.

It would be great if what is “common sense” to you could be confirmed by judicial rulings

The Supreme Court of the United States has had 25 appeals of lower court rulings to review. They have rejected review (granting a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari) of them all. There aren’t four Justices (under the Supreme Court’s “Rule of Four” tradition for accepting appeals) who are interested.
