I think I would try Scalia or Alito. Maybe Thomas is the right way to go.
Anyone who thinks that SCOTUS should punt on this is wrong. Leo makes a good case that the GOP/DNC and legislative branch (sec of state, Pelosi & Sentate McCain resolution) have essentially conned the electorate and help an illegal election.
We have three branches of govt - judicial, legislative and executive. McCain/Obama campaigns are essentially executive - really the President but they were essentially president to be. Obama most likely is ineligible as is McCain. Both campaigns helped by the DNC/RNC engaged in this fraud on the electorate.
This Executive Branch (to be) was assisted by the Legislative Branch including Secretaries of State, Pelosi (saying Obama is elegible) and the Sente passing a meaningless & illegal resolution saying McCain was elegible.
So we have the Exective (to be) and Legislative branches of govt defrauding the eletorate (voters) and violatining the Constitution.
The Framers made sure to have a third leg in Judicial to check the others power. Each branch was designed to check each other’s power. So not we have the Executive (to be) and Legislative defrauding the electorate and the only firewall to stop them is the Judicial or SCOTUS. They should NOT punt or run awy from this case. This is WHY SCOTUS is THERE! This is WHY the Framers had three branches of govt.
Do you think there is any advantage/disadvantage to lumping cases with Thomas? Or would it be better to spread to others, as you mention Scalia, Alito, what about Roberts?
Why was McCain ineligiable? He was born to American parents (military) in a US Military hospital in an American military base in a US Territory. By definition that makes him a natural born citizen.
“Obama most likely is ineligible as is McCain.”
Why would you think John McCain is ineligible? He was born to American parents while on duty assignment in a foreign country. To have declared a non-citizen would be to disenfranchise a whole lot of people and would completely eliminate any family assignments on foreign soil.
The Framers made sure to have a third leg in Judicial to check the others power. Each branch was designed to check each other’s power. So not we have the Executive (to be) and Legislative defrauding the electorate and the only firewall to stop them is the Judicial or SCOTUS. They should NOT punt or run awy from this case. This is WHY SCOTUS is THERE! This is WHY the Framers had three branches of govt.

I loved what you stated above Frantzie. The Supreme Court of the United States is separate from the rest of the government to make sure it follows the law too!!
I believe the SCOTUS led by Chief Justice Roberts will take responsibility here because it is their place. It is their job!
