Lessig contends other proposals, such as the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, could take decades to fully implement. By contrast, a court ruling could force states to move to a proportional system by 2020.

No court ruling is possible. The text of the Constitution is supreme law. The states cannot be forced to choose one way only to select electors.

Unfortunately, the Constitution now says whatever the hell five out of nine Supreme Court Justices want it to say at any time.

I have no doubt they can find an Obama appointed district judge to rule their way and maybe get the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to go along, but I doubt they can convince 5 of the current Supreme Court Justices to go along. It is close though. The four far left-wing liberals on the Court will go along with anything that keeps liberals in power.
