Regarding our recent conversation about the Leo Donofrio case: the following website states about the Dec 5th USSC meeting that,

“If 5 of the 9 Justices respond in affirmation (to Leo’s suit) they could grant a stay of the electoral college vote.”

OK, then what...you guys know??

I don't believe the Court has any such power. The Electoral College, during its brief existence, has certain unchecked powers and rights. It arises from an organic act of the sovereign (us) and is not subject to the jurisdiction of any Article III court, including the USSC.

The trend towards increased involvement in elections by courts is bad, and should be resisted.
