Completely wrong ... voters do not trump the Constitution. The people can change the Constitution, in a preascribed manner, but the majority opinion is not the rule of law in America. So if Carter has stated this erroneous notion, he is in fundamental error toward the oath he took.

“Voters trump Constitution” was my characterization of what Carter’s statement implied. I understand his position on standing (which I don’t really agree with) and on separation of powers (which I certainly don’t agree with, since Congress in this case is complicit). But his statement about the millions of voters who pulled the lever for Barry was neither here nor there.

He didn’t say they did and others are misreprenting his use of the voter statement. jmo.

You need to go read the p. 29 of the Order to see what the Judge said and the reasoning he used to reach that decision.

Click the following link, grab the scroll bar on the right side of the order and pull it down to the Disposition: page 29 and read what he said.
