Modern American conservatism is mental illness.
The Constitution Absolutely Prohibits Nikki Haley From Being President Or Vice President › American Greatness
The question of presidential eligibility under the Constitution has been a hot button one, especially in recent years with the controversial campaigns of John McCain, Barack Obama, Ted Cruz…

I had to go look this up because I can't fathom how somebody could not understand what three very basic English-language words mean when read in a particular order. "Natural born citizen".[snort]
Edit:
I suppose somebody could make it through college and to adulthood without really grasping that, particularly if they were home schooled. I mean, I meet grown adults all the time who seem functionally retarded and it sorta blows my mind how they haven't starved to death or been hit by a car due to sheer lack of awareness of space and time. Reading the words "natural born citizen" and not being able to decipher what that means is actually pretty low on the ladder of idiocy that I've witnessed.

Very poorly written opinion. Most scholars seem to agree that the term “naturally born citizen” is vague (including pretty much every source referenced in the opinion). It definitely does not “absolutely prohibit” Nikki Haley from being president, but it might, depending on how the Supreme Court choose to interpret it.lol. lmao.

The interpretation the Supreme Court chose in US vs Wong Kim Ark would definitely allow her (and Kamala Harris) to be president.

They could undecide it, but this Supreme Court has already gone too far down the sewer of undeciding things. Not only would it hurt the Republican party in this case but it would also piss off everybody.

So the Trump camp has petitioned SCOTUS for consideration in re the Colorado Supreme Court denying Republican primary access in the state for insurrection under the Fourteenth Amendment...
...and this is exactly the sort of farcical argument one makes when one doesn't view the judiciary or proceedings before which seriously and expects preferential consideration by a bought, beholden, activist majority:
"No but it says insurrectionists can't hold office, not that insurrectionists can't run for or be elected to office."

They really seem to have zero shame or self awareness but I suppose that comes with the narcissistic territory.

And this is where they're not even pretending that this is for the good of the nation or the American people. Even if this wasn't complete twaddle and such an insurrectionist were elected, there's a very good chance that two-thirds of Congress declines to do anything about it.
And then what? No president for four years? It goes to the other guy? Both of which would be a massive miscarriage of democracy.
It's sensible to anyone with half a brain that someone who is not qualified to hold an office should not be allowed to run for that office. Doing so only serves to mess up the process and obstruct people who are legitimately qualified and able. In this case, an actual electable Republican candidate that would be able to serve Republican voters. But no, instead lets quibble about the exact wording as if that's ever going to get you anywhere at this level of politics.
This **** should probably count as some sort of election interference on it's own. It'd be one thing if there was a good faith argument being made, but this is "you said don't touch you and I'm not touching you" levels of logic. I assume it exists purely for the purpose of dragging out the drama and milking more contributions to the legal fund from people who don't know any better.

Who, coincidentally, is the only POTUS who didn't have English as his first language.
I think it's quite nice that the first President born a US citizen came from a different, non-English background. Champion that as part of your national, historical melting pot.

Sounds like they think she's guilty of "running for Pres while being of South Asian". Good thing she's such an expert on civil wars since there seems to be one within the GOP atm.

Allowing Trump on the Ballot Is What Is Truly Anti-Democratic
Insisting he be treated as a normal candidate ignores the reality that he isn’t one
www.theunpopulist.net
Many say that voters should decide. It would seem that they forget voters did decide and a large swathe of Republicans, legislators and voters alike, reject that decision wholesale and that rejection manifested in direct efforts to subvert the will of the majority. It would seem that they forget, but the reality is that they want others to.
