His dream legal team is arguing, here at the last minute, that the states have no authority to determine who is and isn’t eligible. Pretty much that in the formation of this country, when the independent states got together and formed a federation and delegated certain duties to the central government to perform, that they permanently and totally lost any ability to then see that those delegated duties were actually done.
