True, but people need to understand it's a pretty low hurdle compared to the next couple of ones to get a hearing in court
Now if he can convince 3 more - hopefully Robert, Alito, and Scalia this will move forward to an actual hearing.
It's going to real tough to get Chief Justice Roberts to agree to this. Typically Chief Justices take a dim view of jumping into the middle of a political hay maker.
I give it about a 10% chance
The alternative is Chief Justice Roberts may swear in the first president in the history of the Republic who is ineligble. This would actually be a crime. I think Leo or someone pointed that out. If Roberts swears him in and knows he is ineligble - it is a crime. The Framers took this very seriously.
Agreed the first hurdle was the lowest.
Ch. Justice Roberts should recognize the significance of the case.
If not him then Justice Kennedy.
