I think if this had been a “right-winger” with the same problem, the non-”Supremes” would have spoken loudly and liberally.
Having gotten more interested in the legal issues lately, I’ve been doing some nosing around. Sure, I’d heard that the Left had been up in arms about McCain “not being a natural born citizen,” and thus “ineligible” to serve as President, but I really didn’t know until recently the depth and breadth of that discussion.
Believe me, had McCain won, the Left would have been this exact same challenge to him, and be mouthing the same conspiracy theories as well.
The only difference is that most on our side will accept that the Supreme Court’s action (or non-action) as legitimate, while their side never would.
