It is merely the latest iteration of your constant fallacy of authority argument.

It boils down to "might makes right", which is a perfectly suitable argument for ignorant barbarians, but wholly unsuitable to reasoned men. That you constantly advance it is an insult. It is a tacit implication that only judges can reason.

My experience has been the exact opposite. Judges seem particularly unsuitable for the task of reasoning. They are doctrinaire and suffer from a herd mentality.

When eligibility challengers stop appealing to the authority of the judiciary to resolve the issue, I’ll stop referencing the rulings. Thus far there have been 311 appeals to the authority of the judiciary and there are still a few more yet to be resolved.

“Might makes right” is not your finest attempt at using a cliche’. There is not much “might” in the deliberative process of American civil jurisprudence.
To paraphrase Popeye the Sailor man, you pays your fees, you files your briefs and you takes your chances.
But hey, I understand your frustration. When you’re on the losing side of an issue 311 times in a row, it’s hard not to take that personally.

A “reasonable man” does not discount the wise counsel of authority.
EVERY wise and reasonable man and woman in the country is against you.
