-- Elliott said he would appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court. I believe that Judge Dan Pellegrini iss going to have egg on his face since his assertion is not anywhere in law. --

Elliott did appeal the case to the PA Supreme Court, which issued a summary ruling affirming Pellegrini. Elliot is crowd funding an appeal to SCOTUS.

Sigh. Perhaps they will uphold the law. Thank you for the funding link.

I have been studying Scalia’s book, “Making Your Case, The Art of Persuading Judges” and it would seem to me that Elliot missed the mark in making his case by relying so heavily on “articles” rather than on Supreme Court precedent such as the Rogers v. Bellei decision that upheld Congress’s authority to naturalize by descent, those born outside the jurisdiction of the United States. I do not see the SCOTUS even entertaining Elliot’s case.
