Clinton's Eligibility for Secretary of State Challenged in Lawsuit.

The first thing I thought when I saw the "Lawsuit argues Clinton ineligible for state post" headline was, "what group of wingnut wackaloons suffers from a case of Clinton Derangement Syndrome severe enough to cause them to file this suit?" The very next thought to cross my mind was "gotta be Judicial Watch." Surprisingly enough, I was right.

It's a legitimate question. The "fix" that's been used (IIRC twice) before in similar cases has never been tested, and the Constitutional prohibition is pretty straightforward.

Just because it's motivated by spleen doesn't mean it's worthless. Let's admit that a lot of last November's election results were motivated by spleen, too -- which doesn't make them any less desirable.
