It won’t be 9-0; most likely 8-1 (Sotomayer); or 7-2(Jackson & Sotomayer); or 6-3 (Kagan, Jackson & Sotomayer). If it ends up being 5-4, I guarantee you that Robert’s joined the liberals. There’s no chance of Thomas, Alito or Gorsuch upholding Colorado. I’d guarantee you that Kavanaugh & Coney Barret won’t vote to uphold Colorado either. John Roberts, I’d almost guarantee you won’t uphold Colorado because of what his legacy would be if he did. He would be blamed for the country descend into chaos by throwing an opposition candidate off ballots & the retaliation that would ensue. I think a majority on the court know that they have to make an adult decision about this.
Some like Trump, some hate Trump & some have mixed emotions- but everybody knows what the result would be if this were to be upheld. I’m normally a very stoic, reserved & level-headed person. If they tried upholding something that EVERYBODY knows is completely political & constitutionally abusive, that wold be realllllly bad. It would be the point that would spur me into a form of Anger I’ve never known. It would signal the end of this constitutional republic, that they are legally condoning persecution of American citizens & their mainstream philosophy & that we are formally & officially under seige & that they are a threat to our liberty. It wouldn’t be just a disagreement of political philosophies or policies positions or moral stances anymore. It would essentially be their declaration of war 😑
Here is something no one is talking about: If upheld, How much faster would that accelerate Texas secession, along with other joining states?
I’d say PDQ.
One would think Plan B for the demons is to charge Trump with Insurrection to see if it could stick.
