That may be why they are considering it. They may order states to make sure they put valid candidates on future ballots.

I don't know. This case certainly highlights that there is no authoritative body to determine whether a presidential candidate is constitutionally qualified prior to an election. If it's up to each SoS, then some (those that put Calero on the ballot) are obveiously not doing their job.

If these SoS's were so careless with this one candidate, how comfortable can citizens be that any candidates on the ballots are eligible?

If Obama gets in, you can bet that there will be new lower judges appointed and probably new SOSs at state levels. It needs to be fast forwarded before January at least!
