So the top conservative legal minds in America are merely ignorant. Got it.

Perhaps Leo should invite them over for some poker and a lesson in Constitutional law. Because there is no doubt that Leo is the go to guy on this issue.

You punted the challenge to find anything in the Constitution that gives a Chief Justice the individual authority to remove a president or deny the swearing-in of an electee. All your whining about Leo and the so-called "top conservative legal minds" is a pathetic deflection. Since you have failed to deal with the actual legal arugments, this is akin to a full concession on the argument.

Yeah, but there is precedent for this. (It actually happens a lot.) In 1920, the top leading minds in Physics were all certain of the Ether theory of light transmission. Einstein set them straight.

This happens so often there is an axiom for it.

"Every great physical theory starts as a heresy and ends as a dogma".

Law works the same way, but with less competence and checking of accuracy.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Perhaps you'll get something else correct before midnight, though I doubt it.
