Am I missing something? Permitting state supreme courts to disqualify a fed candidate under Sect 3 doesn't mean states have unchecked power. State ct rulings interpreting the U.S. Constitution are subject to SCOTUS review, which makes SCOTUS, not states, the ultimate decider.

When the fetus is nonviable, there is NO “protect prenatal life” interest implicated. When that interest doesn’t apply, forcing women to carry a pregnancy to term is cruel and unusual punishment, an arbitrary and capricious invasion of bodily autonomy, and may reflect animus towards women.
I've twice had "routine" D&Cs (aka, abortions) for embryos that were no longer viable. Testing revealed the 2nd embryo had a trisomy like Kate Cox's case. I cannot fathom how horrified and despairing I would have been if forced to carry on with a failed pregnancy. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/u...
Hours before the ruling, a group representing the woman, whose fetus received a fatal diagnosis, said she was leaving Texas for an abortion.
The fetus has a fatal condition and has no chance of survival. So, the “protect prenatal life” interest isn’t implicated. So, what is the “legitimate” state interest for banning an abortion necessary to protect a woman’s health? How does the ban even meet rational basis review?

My article, "The Anti-constitutionality of the Deeply Rooted Test in Dobbs," was just published by the CSU Law Rev. In it I argue Alito's deeply rooted test is at odds with CJ John Marshall's notion of the Integrated Constitution & should be rejected. engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/clevstlrev/v...
