(4,558 posts)There's nothing at all in the constitution about the Supreme Court having the authority to decide an election in the event of ongoing ballot recounts.. but there's now precedent (even if they did throw in that ridiculous statement at the end of that decision).
There's nothing in the Constitution about libel or slander. In fact the first amendment would seem to specifically invalidate any such laws.. yet they are on the books, and legal through decided court precedent as well.
As far as I know, there is no precedent at all for something like this, and I'm wondering (preferably from someone who has a better understanding of the law than I do, what options there would be. You may very well be right that there is none at all, but unless you know of any law or judicial precedence, then my question is a valid one, and I don't appreciate the snark.
