We are here today in large part because SCOTUS were cowards and would not deal with the issue of “natural born citizen”. If they had they would have had to say that Soetoro was illegitimate and Pelosi perpetrated a fraud when she swore he was eligible.
So they did the “no standing” act and then said, well the people have spoken.
Same reason they will not address “shall not be infringed”. Cowards

I agree. Every case about 0bola’s non-eligibility made it to a judge, the finding would be that no one ever had any standing, so no evidence was ever presented. There was one judge in I think San Diego, a retired Marine, and people had hopes. He actually gave that Moldovian attorney (blonde, was is her name?? She’s also a dentist IIRC) a listen and made another date to hear some evidence. Then Perkins Coie got to him and at the next sesions he said “no standing” and did not hear evidence. Turned out a clerk he just recently got (I think it was recently) previusly worked for....Perkins Coie. Who always represented 0bola in every case.
A thought just occurred to me about this SCOTUS ruling and applying gnerally.
For years, and I heard AG Barr give a speech about this quite some time ago, the judiciary has become MUCH too powerful. Instead of legislative action, people turn to courts, and judges have become bloated and power mad (my words, not Barr’s). The judiciary needs to resume their proper position in the balance of power between the three branches.
So maybe in the ultimate issue this ruling will actually help to pave the way for a less bloatedly powerful judiciary.

You're right. This is a very big issue. Not only do we not want it, but SCOTUS cannot afford to get in the business of digging around in every state's election machinery for every national election from now on.
If they are going to get involved, our 5 Justices are going to need a very sharp scalpel.
