My take on this is that the High Court of Fruits and Nuts (Kalifornia) is laying the groundwork for Obama's case to also be thrown out. I would like to know where in the Constitution it states that presidential eligibility is a matter for the voters to decide.
Also, since when are the voters and EC a branch of government whose powers need to be separated? There are four branches of government now?
It IS the Court's powers to interpret the Constitution, and they are claiming it's not. It is certainly within their powers to decide a Constitutional question...they do it every day of every week. If Obama gets the popular vote, then he must be eligible. If McCain doesn't get the popular vote, then he must not be eligible. What a crock.

***Actually, from what I read of the article, it is McCain’s Lawyers who are arguing that it’s the Electoral College who decides. Bad move.
Take a peak at my post 13. Any thoughts?
Bravo for picking up on—and laying to waste—the jurisdictional mumbo-jumbo claimed by the legal team. I fully concur as far as your analysis of THAT goes.
But sadly, as Kevmo pointed out, it IS McCAIN’s TEAM that is working(unwittingly I’m sure) against Philip Berg’s valiant and principled stand in Berg v. Obama/DNC/FEC; they should instead have this suit thrown out on OTHER more relevant grounds...like, the senate having already passed a resolution recognizing McCain as eligible for POTUS, along with an aircraft carrier-load of statutory support and obvious parentally-transmitted congenital citizenship, clear exclusive national loyalty, etc.
Berg v. Obama hinges mainly on issues of possible fraud, along with dual citizenship, divided national loyalties, and so on. Therefore, it is an entirely different animal than this laughable attempt to disqualify McCain.
What a circus this season is becoming.

“The Court Counts the Ballots”
I have a strong suspicion that Mark Levin might have something to say about this. I hope to hear him address this tonight.
