Aceepting what you say is true, you are telling me that the United States Supreme Court is just going to sit there and let the entire United States go through an complete Presidential election cycle knowing from the beginning that neither one of the candidates will not pass their precious constitutional sniff test? And they are going to do this because the nine judicial gods in their marble temple were not properly asked through the filing of a lawsuit?

The Court's usual response to those kinds of arguments is that is why the Amendment process is in the Constitution--if you think it is unfair, amend the Constitution.

After doing that and 2000, they have any idea how thoroughly "reformed" the US Supreme Court will be when both political parties are finished with them? The Congress will not only clear up the problem with Article II, Section I, Clause 5, the Democrats and Republicans will positively take turns like a tag team in their rush to get amendments in reshaping Article III to end the Court's delusion forever that it is a co-equal branch of government except at the sufferance of the other two.

Yes! Exactly!

Yes! Exactly!

The Supremes lack the legal authority to poke their noses in any American's affairs unless they are asked to.

Would you really want them to have that authority? Think about it!

Probably. Every generation or so one branch of the government tries to eviscerate the other two and seize total power for itself.

Democrats and Republicans will positively take turns like a tag team in their rush to get amendments in reshaping Article III to end the Court's delusion forever that it is a co-equal branch of government except at the sufferance of the other two.

Ahhhhh, the beauty of the whole system. If they get close to doing this the Judicial and Executive branches will be forced into an uneasy alliance to prevent the Legislative branch from taking them both over.
