The place to stop Constitutionally unqualified candidates is our State legislatures. These are the people our Constitution charged with exercising electoral judgment.

So where do Citizens go to seek redress when their State legislatures don't do their jobs properly? Nowhere?

Please step back and look closer.

Our Founding/Framing generation placed enormous responsibility on the people, both directly in the Constitution when we serve as electors to the House of Reps, and in the several States. These reps are supposed to make laws on our behalf.

We have allowed said reps to assign that power to unelected agencies and czars, who are totally unaccountable to you and me.

We have also allowed our reps to look the other way when judges make law.

Hussein has unconstitutionally gone around Congress to the courts and executive agencies when it did not rubber stamp his diktats. I want Hussein The Kenyan gone, outta my life and my republic as much as anyone.

What I will not support is another assignment of constitutional duties. Once we allow Scotus the power to assume a constitutional duty of the states, to determine who is or who may not be on state ballots, we may never get that power back.
