You have raised parochialism to the level of constitutional principle.

It's kind of funny that you can't make such simple distinctions.

How can it be a violation of the Constitution to do something that the Constitution allows?

Besides, you are still arguing about a fait accompli. This discussion is so last week.

If the founders had wanted anybody to be able to run for office in any state then why did they bother to put a residency clause in? It's just that simple, obviously they wanted a state's representatives to actually know something about the state and be able to REPRESENT it, people who moved there for the sole purpose of running for office can't actually represent the state.

You brought the discussion back, don't like it, stop replying. Regardless of what happens Keyes is an illegitimate candidate that shouldn't be running and has said himself that this kind of candidacy is wrong. That IS the discussion and will be until he loses on Nov 2.
