G-d! I can't believe how many weak-minded conservatives there are.
THE SUPREME COURT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE APPOINTMENT OR CERTIFICATION OF ELECTORS.
NOTHINGNOTHINGNOTHING.
Appointment of Electors, or the process for doing so, is the sole prerogative of State Legislatures (or Congress, in the case of DC).
NO GOVERNORS. NO PRESIDENT. NO COURTS.
Certification of the votes is the sole prerogative of a special Joint Session of Congress.
NO PRESIDENT. NO COURTS.
Bush v. Gore was nonjusticeable, and wrongly decided on top of that, and moved the brilliant Constitutional system another step closer to extinction.
If the Ohio Legislature were to appoint Ohio's electors, only the special Joint Session in January could say "no" - and it's very unlikely that they would do so.
