I believe the SC will hear the case after they review the responses of the four defendant states. Deadline for their responses is tomorrow, 12/10.
First, because this is state-to-state issue of original jurisdiction and it is important to the integrity of the elections which are detailed in the Constitution. This is a real constitutional issue, not a fraud case.
And second, remember the court now has a real 6-3 conservative, constitutional majority. Barrett replaces liberal Ginsberg and neutered Roberts siding with the liberals.
But one never knows what they will do. We wait and see.
Where does the Constitution say anything about Presidential elections?
