SCOTUS justices aren’t elected and some of the Justices who ruled on Roe v Wade were among the most liberal Democrat Justices of the last century. In my humble opinion your attempt at an analogy with McInnish v. Chapman fails on those two key differences alone. Elected judges have to care about the will of the voters while lifetime appointed judges do not.
The issue before the Alabama Supreme Court is a narrow one: does Alabama election law require the Secretary of State to check and approve the qualifications of a presidential candidate and remove an ineligible candidate from the Alabama ballot.
Maybe, maybe not, we will know soon enough - after the “bell has been wrung”.
