You don’t grasp that no one is allowed to violate the constitution. You are arguing we will only have standing if the Electoral College electors go and do what they will most certainly do - vote for Obama.

I’m telling you that regardless of what they do, YOU CANNOT BE PRESIDENT IN THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT MEETING THE CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS. PERIOD.

One of the few things that is clear here is that the Electors are complete free agents. They could vote for an ineligible candidate disregarding the Constitution.

BUT it is Congress which must accept that vote and it is Congress which can disqualify votes for ineligible candidates.

Yelling does not change that fact.

My fondest wish is that I would be wrong and the Court would rule that he must produce the proof of eligibility post haste but I see no constitutional role for the Court here. There is no case which can succeed until he is actually sworn in from what I see.

Others have mentioned a role for Feinstein here but I have no idea what that is based upon.
