I and others have asked several times for you to show specifically where the Constitution delegates to Congress the power to make determinations of eligibility. You have not.

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,

• arising under this Constitution,
• the Laws of the United States,
• and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority

A question regarding a person's eligibility is certainly a case in Law arising under the Constitution. Article II requires no enabling legislation.

You keep getting there right before I do. lol.

I’m waiting for him/her to say that the First Amendment is all a matter of the political process. If one of Obama’s “czars” decides to jail any person who uses speech the regime doesn’t like, the people can’t do anything about it because SCOTUS only rules on whether laws are Constitutional. That’s why Obama has to have so many “czars” who are totally outside the political process - so SCOTUS can’t do a dang thing to protect the Constitution or us, since the Constitution is being trampled by people outside the political process.

Come to think of it, he/she may just have revealed the whole mindset and legal tactic of this thug regime from Hell. Maybe we should keep him/her talking...
