"These are ready exits to the court if they decide to call this a political question and not a legal controversy."

There is one member of the Supreme Court who has no "ready exit":

The Justice (usually Chief Justice) who swears in a candidate who does not meet all Constitutional requirements for the office of President has violated his own oath of office.

For that one Justice, there is no "ready exit"!!!

There is only honor or dishonor.

Wouldn't that be a mess? If true, who could handle the impeachment of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? Talk about unprecedented.
