I've often wondered why McCain and Romney did not sue Buckwheat on the NBC issue. They both were denied the Presidency due to obama's victory, and therefore had "standing". If they had, and exposed the usurper, everything would be different....everything.

One word, Kennedy, as in Justice Kennedy, one of the dumbest members of that Court yet seen, perhaps only Souter was more idiotic.

Of course they also had to consider Roberts, as in Chief Justice Roberts, the only Court member who has sufficient existing evidence for blackmail to be a plausible method of coercion. Thank you Bush43 and Ted Cruz for inflicting this menace on America.

Even if there was a path to a decision with adequate "standing" according to Roberts, we face the dismal prospect of having SIX of nine justices unfit to clerk in a boondock county courthouse, let alone be trusted with interpreting John Jay's contribution to Article II Section 1 qualifications of the President.

Ironically, I feel that Roberts accidentally came to the best answer by punting it back to We The People to kick around for ourselves. I cannot think of a reason to entrust that Court with something this monumental. So perhaps it is best left alone.
