Here’s my prognostication: 5-4 in favor of Trump.
I presume you are including Jeb’s buddy Roberts in the 4.
out on a limb, but if it’s 5-4 it might as well be 9-0.
If SCOTUS is going to weigh in on what is truly a constitutional crisis, they may well need to make a definitive statement in an attempt to take some wind out of the rioters.
This same reasoning would work for a 0-9 ruling, but I don’t think any arm twisting would work on the conservatives
Okay, I’ll play: 7-2. But the states in question were so egregious in rewriting election law without their legislatures - a VERY clear US Constitution no/no - that it may be as high as 9-0, a grand slam.
In essence, they will kick the issue of appointing electors back to the state legislatures.
Let the riots commence...
