The Arkeny case in Indiana was decided on the merits (and found that Obama is a Natural-Born Citizen).

Well, I guess we can now have anchor baby's as POTUS then.

Arkeny was decided (wrongly) by an Appellate Court and has no bearing on the Constitutional requirements for POTUS.

The Indiana Supreme Court just denied review, so the plaintiff can now ask SCOTUS to review the decision. I doubt they will.

Not sure what you mean there. It is a court decision on what those Constitutional requirements are--it is, in fact, the only court decision in the history of the U.S. to directly rule on that issue; prior cases discussed the issue only in dicta (they were not actual challenges to a President's eligibility).
