You might get a decision out of SCOTUS on what “natural born citizen” means in three years or so if everything fast-tracks.
***I guess that means these guys are too dumb to see a constitutional crisis when the average american sees it a mile away. It is their job, and we have very little hope that they would actually do it. That’s the way political experiments fail, when the payoff for doing your job is less than the payoff for not doing it.

You show a fundamental misunderstanding of the court, as well as ignorance of what the steps up to this point have been. The court doesn't sit there on high surveying the landscape for constitutional crises in which to intervene. They're a court of appeal, the final word in judicial matters. And they can't review a case that hasn't been heard yet. None of these cases has gotten past motions and the SCOTUS, it appears, doesn't disagree with the reasoning behind the lower court dismissals.
