You said — “This is NOT about politics!”

It is precisely so, because the “Constitution” is in “politics”. It defines our politics. The Supreme Court is in politics, because it’s in our political system. Electing a President because the majority of voters believe that he is qualified *is* politics, because voting for President is precisely that.

All the institutions and people and references made to this issue are *all political* — every last single one of them.

I don’t see how it’s not about politics. That’s our “system of government”...

Two different versions of politics. This is not about partison politics, since even if Obama were DQ'd the House is overwhelmingly Democrat, and would pick a Democrat, or would fail to pick anyone until 2013, in which case we'd Acting President Biden for 4 years.

But is about the other sort, the kind you describe.

I think battletank was referring to *partisan* politics.
