Unless you have a SCOTUS decision less than 50 years old to that effect, than everything else is meaningless.

So ... in your opinion ... every law/decision/definition recorded in history is meaningless to the current generation unless the SCOTUS has reviewed and confirmed it within the most recent 50 years? Do you really want to live in a nation where that is so? Do you really believe that was the Founders' intent when they sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears to build this nation? I do not. And I am willing to sacrifice to see that your opinion never comes to be.

If you ask me what I “want to see”, I’d like to see us return to our Constitution being interpreted strictly according to the original intent of those who wrote it (and those who wrote the various subsequent Amendments).

But I’m just stating a fact, which is that if a principle of law hasn’t been confirmed in the last fifty years, you can bet that the current SCOTUS will largely take a free hand in elucidating it however they see fit. And were they by some miracle to actually take a case challenging the eligibility of a Presidential nominee (extremely unlikely given how far the courts stayed away from the questions about Obama), they will not DQ an otherwise qualified candidate based on what their parents’ citizenship status was at the time of their birth. It’s just not going to happen.

There’s nothing you or I or anyone else can do about that.
