Abstract
The article offers information related to Bush-Leaguers teed up several cases based on a seemingly plausible but ultimately preposterous constitutional theory that had won the support of three notable justices back in 2000. Topics discussed includes Article II that permits states to use its "legislature", also errors and evils of Bush v. Gore that went far beyond the Independent State Legislature (ISL) ideas at the heart of the Rehnquist-Scalia Thomas concurrence.
