hard to imagine why she would think she lacks jurisdiction

Apparently the lawsuit is a complaint involving the US Constitution, and is based on a false belief that the US Constitution sets limits on "running for President", when in fact the US Constitution says nothing about that activity.

the US constitution does set requirements for becoming president. It would seem natural that a federal court could issue a ruling on a candidate’s qualifications in meeting those requirements. But yes, conceivably she could just let him run and then entertain a suit to declare him unqualified only in the event he wins. That, based on the argument that there’s no violation in anybody, qualified or not, just running for the office..... and if people wish to possibly waste their votes, so be it. That’s a very narrow way for her to deal with the complaint, but conceivable yes. We will see. Thanks.
