Note the dodge -
Q: Can the President to do things over and above the stated law of the land?

A: The Constitution binds all of us.

So implicit in the answer is that the laws do not bind, except as the Constitution makes us. And you can always appeal to the Constitution to ignore a mere schmeer law.

What about an Equal Protection claim, ala 14th amendment, on the grounds that there are different standards for allowing absentee ballots and in poll ballots, which leads to disparate effects?

I know, Bush vs Gore was a once only, no precedence thing, but it would otherwise imply that all methods of counting and voting should have no major differences in restrictions.

When Blanchard says
"They're very talented state senators; they're obviously operating under instructions to prevent a vote," he is expressing her opinion. Adding the word 'obviously' adds no proof to the spin.

Obviously Hillary is behind Blanchard's tactics. (see how it works?)

Ugh, anybody suggesting that renewamerica site only cares about stirring up the shoot. If Clinton was leading by the same margin now, ryotsu would be commenting with a photoshoped Hillary pic.
