Nice try at pulling a slick one but most folks lurking or posting here will know that appellate courts don’t deal with merits. The facts are argued in original jurisdiction courts and appellate courts, including states’ and the federal Supreme Court address errors of law and lower court legal and constitutional interpretations exclusively.
Appellate judges assume that everything the appealling party alleges is factually true. Should they overturn based on original jurisdiction court error?
It is a FACT, an undeniable fact that Congress unanimously certified Obama’s electoral votes in 2009 and in 2013. Once they did that, according to the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, Obama became the President of the United States. The 12th Amendmnt says: “...shall be the president.”
No civil lawsuit can remove a president from office. A president can only be removed from office via conviction in a Senate trial on the guilty votes of two-thirds of the Senators present for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, or via resignation or if his cabinet deems him incapacitated/unable to serve and he fails to submit a letter stating that he is fit to serve.
Nice try at pulling a slick one but most folks lurking or posting here will know that appellate courts don’t deal with merits. That is some funny stuff right there. Like I said, we would look at the courts as a comedy act if the consequences weren't so dire. You are right, they don't deal with merits. They deal with ritual, and whether or not someone did or did not follow the proper incantations when weaving their lawyerly spell.
Again, they might as well be a church given how stuck they are on precedent and procedure at the expense of reason and facts. Their modus operandi is "Well, we've always done it that way before..."
The courts, their methods, rituals, and procedures, are left overs from our original Monarchical based governance. ("Your Honor", "Robes", "The Court", "Pleading", the "Throne" they sit on, etc.) It's a shame they weren't upgraded to something more befitting a Republic back in 1787.
