We are absolutely in uncharted waters. I believe part of the problem is the Founders never intended to have political campaigns. Their stand was "Let the office seek the man not the man seek the office". We are very far away from what they intended.
Your scenario may be the outcome. Scotus may also be afraid to open the can of worms. This will certainly test their love of country and the Constitution.
Every office holder when sworn in swears to up hold the Constitution of the US of A. Have those words become as empty as a congregation repeating the Lord’s Prayer empty?
Do they open themselves for impeachment if they don’t.
IMO The SCOTUS must hear the case or risk impeachment in mass.
