Seems to me
That around the last part of November, first part of December, 2000, right-wing conservatives, buttressed by the Fundamental Christians, were busy telling us that the Constitution was WHATEVER the Supreme Court said it was.
Legality be damned. Whatever Scalia said, that was it. (I doubt the rumor that Thomas sleeps at the foot of Scalias bed. I think that's scurrilous, demeaning, and doesn't bear repeating!!)
If the Supreme Court said Clinton could run again, he could.
