Where do you find, in the Constitution, the notion that Federal courts have ANY jurisdiction over the appointment of electors by State Legislatures?

Have you been reading this thread carefully?! The 6th Circuit just ruled on the propriety of a Federal judge overturning state law in order to start the recount without a state mandated waiting period. I guess that demonstrates that the Federal courts don't seem to have any problem exerting jurisdiction over the proposed recounts.

I also started my post by pointing out that "since lawyers are involved". I should have stated "since DEMOCRAT lawyers are involved". Even though most of us on this thread believe that state law should be adjudicated by state courts, the liberal left has no such compunctions. Thus, it will wind up in the 6th Circuit again and I doubt that they will refuse the case.

NO.

They have no problem ASSERTING jurisdiction.

In order for them to EXERT jurisdiction, they need the willing cooperation of the State of Michigan, and of the people, which should (rightly) be refused by both.
