You’re not reading it correctly and misunderstanding the thought process. Probably by design as your reasoning has been a tortured.
SCOTUS does not rule on the constitutionality of enumerations in the constitution. It’s dual redundant. The Constitution instantiates SCOTUS.
SCOTUS reviews legistlated laws and laws *arising* from the Constitution. So stop telling us that SCOTUS rules on Constitutional Enumerations ... it doesn’t. IT rules on laws enacted and ensures they conform to the Constitution.
You say, "SCOTUS reviews legistlated laws and laws *arising* from the Constitution."
Article III clearly states “The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority”.
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity,
A question regarding a person's eligibility is certainly a case in Law arising under the Constitution. Article II requires no enabling legislation.
You are so full of BS it isn’t even funny. Read Article III, Section 2 again:
“The judicial Power shall extend to all cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;
It lists 3 things. The judicial Power shall extend to all cases, in law and Equity, arising under
1) this Constitution,
2) the Laws of the United States, and
3) Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority
Don’t go trying to claim that #1 and #3 aren’t right there in the text of the Constitution, because they are right there for anybody (who is willing to look...) to see.
In addition to that they also have jurisdiction in “controversies between two or more States, between Citizens of different States, between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States. (Obama is believed to be a citizen of Hawaii or maybe Connecticut, and he has been challenged by people of all different States)....
In addition to that SCOTUS has original jurisdiction in “all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party... In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.”
Don’t give us baloney. This stuff is right there in the Constitution for all to see.
