It seems to me that the decision the SCOTUS is making is whether the responsibility for vetting a candidate is assumed by the SOS of each individual state and territory or by the Party (DNC) who nominates the candidate.
It would be prohibitive and almost impossible for each state to investigate each individual candidate. Even if copies of their original birth certificate were used each state's procedures differ.
OTOH the political parties have the money and time to vet their candidate....Not only that they should be held legally responsible for each individual that runs on their ticket.
With that in mind, I'm betting that the cases naming individual SOS will just be referred back to their states with reprimand and the Berg Case naming BO and DNC will have higher precedence.

Welp, somebody, somewhere needs to be responsible for the vetting of presidential candidates. When the voice of even a single citizen questioning the requirement for legitimate validation of a canidates qualifications has been refused, then heads need to roll off every single responsible person from the top to the bottom of the process. If it doesn't happen, then our constitution states the rights and responsibilities of citizens toward that said government.
I don't give a flying fig whose responsibility it is at this point, we are way beyond that stage. Now, it is time to get substantiated answers. And educate the entire population... citizens or not... as to what this government is set up to be, one way or another. Lines have been drawn in the sand, that is the bottom line.
