Should Senator Martinez organize a sit-in in the Senate, so nobody can enter or leave the Chamber? What is supposed to do? Do you realize that the Democrats control the Senate and will just laugh ?

Who said anything about him having to "do" anything? That's a straw man. This is about Martinez's Lewis Carroll version of the constitution. "What is he supposed to do?" For starters, he can quit making up stuff about what he thinks constitutes eligibility.

Like I said in my post, the outrage is not in Martinez's acceptance of the election outcome; it's his explanation for that acceptance that's at issue. This is separate and apart from the BC issue.

Martinez is perfectly within his rights to choose to do nothing based on perceived futility, expedience, or fear of ridicule. But that's not what he's done. He, and other senators sending out this letter, either believe the constitution provides for Americans to decide that eligibility means whatever they say it means every four years, or they're lying to Americans about it. That's my beef, and should be yours too.

If you can’t convince a single judge in the United States that you have a case, then there is something wrong with your case. I find the entire topic rather preposterous.
