so this case was never actually tried at all ???
The trial court decision was by Judge Pellegrini. Link again ...
On Judge Pellegrini's Opinion that Cruz is a Natural Born Citizen
Elliott appealed the loss to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The appeal (file) includes an interesting amicus brief by Einer Elhauge. Einer Elhauge argument on SSRN, which I think was modified slightly before being filed in the appeal.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a finding of probable jurisdiction, which triggered the filing of briefs by opposing sides, and this Order, and nothing else.
