I might be over-analyzing. I think more than 270 Obama electors are required by State law in each State to vote for Obama. IOW, they have to vote for him even though he would be ineligible

Many if not all of those state laws have "if unable to serve" type of exceptions. Some of those, and others only require voting for the candidate of the party they were elected to vote for, which makes it highly likely that another Dem would be selected by the DNC should The One be DQ'd before the electors vote. If it's after they vote, it seems to me highly likely that one, from the states where it is allowed, will have voted for someone other than McCain or Obama, "just in case", and then that person would selected by the overwhelmingly Democrat

The conference vote will happen on the 12th. The EC vote will happen on the 15th. Unless you can figure a way for the Court to schedule oral arguments and decide the case on the merits in 3 days, that scenario ain’t happening.

If the Court takes the case, their ruling would need to happen before 1/20/09. If so, then we would be witnesses to history - the first time that clause of the 20th Amendment has ever been acted on.

If the ruling were to take place after 1/20/09, the nation would have to depend on Pelosi to approve Impeachment hearings, and the rest of the Dim majorities in the House and Senate to impeach and then remove Obama for fraud.

Yeah, right.
