I was being cynical, sorry. There is so much bench legislation these days, it really is heinous. I understand their actual role, but it’s possible for Obama to expand the number of Justices and load the court anyway. But, you point is well taken.

I know you were being cynical and that you know the role of a Supreme Court that is abiding by its constitutional role. It'a a bit of a paradox that only a conservative court would rule Obama ineligible but then do nothing to him, while a liberal court would obviously be much more likely to make up a punishment in a case like this but would never rule him ineligible to begin with.
