It's a desperate and vicious move by conservative right-wing nutjobs in a last-ditch effort to keep him from taking office. I'm actually shocked it's going forward. From what I've read online this morning, Supreme Court Justice David Souter had declined the motion to bring it before the Supreme Court, but Justice Clarence Thomas filed the paperwork to reinstate it. He's a Republican, so there's no real mystery as to why he's doing this. I always chalked this up to the tinfoil hat brigade and figured nothing would come of it but now I'm actually beginning to get worried. I don't even want to think about what could happen if they actually succeed in barring him from the Presidency. I think this country will absolutely erupt.

Just goes to show that the right wing conservatives will stop at nothing to hold on to power.
