I think that you may be underestimating the ability of reclutant Justices to conjure up excuses to avoid the issues. Three of the Justices don't like the Constitution and never support it. If two others get wobbly, they will invent some "the got ate my homework" excuse and dodge the whole thing. The Court meets in Conference today and will probably take a vote. Stay tuned.
You win the hand wringing / Eeyore award this morning. Unless they already have their attention focused on one of the other cases they feel will serve their needs better... Texas et al. is the one. The US Supreme Court will rule in a way that will smack down the immoral election thieves.
