Once again Butter, we have sailed the Great Circle Route back to the issue of state sovereignty.

The Governor and the AG of Nebraska are absolutely free right now to challenge any candidate for office on any grounds they might feel valid. In fact, I daresay they often have thrown candidates for state and local office from the ballot until the prospective candidate has established the necessary bona fides. Every state electoral official in the nation has, at various times, done exacrtly that.

There is no need for "legislation."

As you and I have often discussed, if one (1) state electoral official had done their job in 2007, we would have long ago had a ruling from the SCOTUS on this issue.

What is a "Natural Born Citizen?" Must we wait until several more Leftist Lesbians are appointed to the SCOTUS before we get an answer?

It’s imperative that we get an answer before then.

It’s become painfully clear that we the people cannot keep our bureaucrats in line at the state level, any more than we can at the federal level. If we the people are going to get any answers it’s going to have to be by forcing the courts to give somebody standing. If a state made a law based on the Vattel definition of NBC, would the feds be compelled to challenge it? Could a prospective candidate file for an injunction to keep it from going into effect until its constitutionality had been determined, and if that happened would it push it into federal jurisdiction?

I wish I knew more about the ins and outs of how you have to do these things.
