Thanks for the news.
Not necessarily. I expect it to be heard.
This is exactly how dad had told me it should have been years ago with O
(Hopefully he’s directing this from above — he was such a constitutionalist and so concerned about how it was going )
Only the SCOTUS has the power to settle law directly from the constitution. Do not expect them to rule (but they will accept the case) until after the election. This will leave TC eligibility in question and bump him out until at least the next four years.
Hearing and ruling will be after next president appoints Justice.

This is true, but if they approve of the outcome below, they generally don't take the case. They didn't take the homo marriage case when offered, as long as the court below found homo marriage in the constitution.

As long as status quo persists (allow parties to assert that unqualified candidates are NBC), SCOTUS is happy as a clam. If status quo is disrupted, they will have a reason to step in.
