My statement that every voter actually knew was improper.

I am sure that months or years after JFK was assasinated, you
can
As a working journalist writing about politics, I get lots of feedback from
voters. Many are, sadly, clueless.
But it is a stretch to assert, as you blithely do, that every voter knew

Yup. And they should get it good and hard

As I said earlier, a court may very well find some Constitutional
issue or something else very serious about the appointment. But
I would think that, in that event, there will be some other way
found to work around the necessity for an appointment
rate.
