Arkeny was decided (wrongly) by an Appellate Court

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

and has no bearing on the Constitutional requirements for POTUS.

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).

I don't think the SCOTUS will take it up either and from what I know, if the case is left to stand it would then become law.

This is an extremely dangerous decision, it means that any child born on US soil would be eligible for the highest office in the land, that is clearly not what the Founders had in mind. Appellate courts have been overturned many times, we better pray this one is.

As I mentioned in my first post to you, that would include anchor baby's, even Osama's kid.

Did you see the video of Thomas saying that the courts was deliberately evading the issue?
