“If there was ever a nonjusticiable “political question,” this is one”
That is your opinion.
This is not a political question. It is a constitutional one. This is why SCOTUS has decided at least 5 cases where citizenship was at issue. It is not a political question. Its a legal one. That is your mistake and the reason perhaps why you are a lawyer and not a judge.
Not hearing a case is not the same as reversing a case, or affirming the decision of a lower court. People confuse these all the time, and apparently so are you.
I never said they were the same thing. I predicted that the dismissal of the Kerchner complaint would be affirmed by the Third Circuit and that the Supreme Court would refuse to hear the case.
Please ping me if either prediction proves untrue.
