Then from SCOTUS’ viewpoint, the logical source to vet each presidential candidate would be the Federal Elections Commission, right? What would be the pros & cons of having FEC do the vetting of candidates?

Berg names, the DNC, FEC and Obama in his lawsuit. It would be the findings of the Court that would determine which is responsible to “vet the candidates”. The constitution does not establish it, the legislation has not made a law regarding it, it has no precedence in the judiciary system. We are indeed in uncharted territory.

With that in mind, IMO the SCOTUS cannot ignore it indefinitely...They have sworn to uphold the Constitution with its requirement for the Executive branch.

IMO the real problem is BO (the Executive branch), has challenged and diminished the power and authority of the Judicial branch before he has even taken office. What will he attempt to do after he is in office?
