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.
I see evidence every day now that States control nothing without Federal permission. Having said that I don't know a single person stupid or otherwise that believes a State can decide to change what is clearly define in the Constitution.
Courts however have unusual authority that politicians find convenient to use to suit their purposes, they make great scape goats as well. Win, win for the crooks, what could be better?
It all depends, I guess, on what the meaning of "is," is.
Truth does not depend on how many people agree with me, but power does and the bad guys now seem to have all the power and ignorance of truth lets them wield it. Speaking truth to power doesn’t seem to have the same effect as it once did, I pray that soon it will.
