Item #1. Clearly another branch of government is tasked with answering the eligibility and certification.

Item #2. This is clearly new territory so part 2 of item #2 applies, as for part 1, I would argue that there *is* judicially discoverable items here, but only with regards to the execution of responsibility of another branch, not eligibility.

Item #3. I don’t understand.

Item #4. Certainly SCOTUS getting involved would encroach on another branch (the meaning of respect in this political sense), not in an insultingly and disregardful manner.

Item #5. With the election certified, the President sworn in, it’s clear that the political decision was already made and that SCOTUS should adhere to that. Weak imho. But the question itself presented by #5 is political itself so subject to ones affiliations.

Item #6. Read multifarious as Congress. Read embarrassment as derision placed upon the court. In otherwords, if SCOTUS, itself decided, Congress can tell it to go pound sand. Weakening SCOTUS.

SCOTUS has no enforcement provisions. It’s sole recourse is public opinion. If it kept inserting itself into political questions it would lessen the stature for the court and future court.
