No feasible Supreme Court would take this case. The current court is already about as far “right” as can be achieved, thanks to Trump. It even overturned Roe v Wade. But it wont go here.

I agree.

But this doesn't make it true.

“True” in this case, of political practice, is not and cannot be a philosophical ideal, according to the line of development of the national ideology of the United States, which comes via Aristotle and Locke, etc.

If we set up a conflict between the rational-empirical and the ideal, we come back to Aristotle vs Plato.

The “natural born” position is very much a Platonic one, of imagining an ideal form.
