“the state courts have ruled that the Article II requirements are non-enforceable at all. Period.”
No, the state courts have ruled that existing state laws do not require the SoS to examine the qualifications for a Presidential candidate.
There is nothing preventing a state legislature from changing the state law to require a SoS to investigate Presidential candidates’ qualifications. But that has not happened yet.
The states supposedly require their candidates to be eligible. What the courts have ruled is that the people can’t stop state SOS’s from putting on the ballot even people who are KNOWN to be ineligible, like Roger Calero, whose placement on the ballot was challenged by Leo Donofrio. In Nebraska, the attorney for SOS John Gale said they HAVE to put a name on the ballot even if they KNOW that the OCON submitted is fraudulent and the person is ineligible, because the law doesn’t say that it has to be a LAWFUL (non-fraudulent, non-perjurious) OCON...
What all of this is saying is, “The government is a criminal enterprise and it is nobody’s business if it’s a huge scam, blinking the taxpayers of every red cent they’ve got while NOT providing the services they were hired to do and instead OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE.
I will never buy that. I will never buy that it is none of my business if my government takes my tax dollars and uses it to rape the whole stinking country.
Is that what the state courts are saying? Have I understood them correctly? They’re saying THE GOVERNMENT AS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IS NONE OF MY STINKING BUSINESS. Right?
