It is a common fallacy throughout the legal system that "Process" = "Truth." In reality, the "Process" yields so much blatantly wrong decisions that anyone with any intellectual honesty would regard it as a DEFECTIVE process.
You post the deliberations of courts without addressing the salient issue. Are the assumed facts correct? At best, they can be said to be in dispute, but at worst, the assumed facts are wrong. The courts are another manifestation of a garbage machine. Garbage in, yields Garbage out, not truth.
You simply don't care. You are what I regard as a "Process Nazi." Results be d@mned, so long as "process" is followed.
Once again, the three of you have basically the same argument. "We are right because Legal "Authorities" agree with us.
Jeff: "All Legal authorities agree with us. "
Nero Germanicus: "All Legal authorities agree with us."
Kansas Parrot: "All Legal authorities agree with us.'
Yeah, that's some argument you've got there. Among people who know something about logic, it is referred to as a "fallacy."
I would agree with you if there were one or two aberrant rulings that were outliers. But there have been hundreds in practically every state in the union and from judges and justices who are conservative, moderate and liberal.
Did any Tea Party endorsed conservative member of Congress object to the certification of Obama’s electoral votes on the grounds that he is constitutionally ineligible? Nope.
