He’s right. The Constitution is no fire-wall if 5 on SCOTUS making a ruling on whatever.
Fear of the people is a firewall against SCOTUS - or any lower court - even accepting such a case.

Hillary wouldn’t even make a good test case for it, since she although she got more votes than anyone else, she didn’t win a majority of the popular vote.

In any case, SCOTUS is no more constitutional than the Electoral College is; you are talking constitutional crisis time. Not “constitutional crisis” in the sense that journalism spoke of during the latter days of the Nixon Administration, but constitutional crisis as in, well-intended patriots with guns trying to figure out who it is their duty to shoot.

So according to you the Constitution or at least the part of the Constitution which describes the Electoral College and how it works, is itself unconstitutional? Do I have that right?

Care to explain?
