Yep. dalton99a Jul 2020 #4

Probably a mixed bag at best - and Trump will declare victory dalton99a Jul 2020 #2

I think they will kick it back to the lower courts on some technical issue. kairos12 Jul 2020 #5

I am not sure that action is technically an opinion but I will defer to legal experts, though. LonePirate Jul 2020 #7

Even if they straight out lose, every effort will be made to slow the release.

- Shouldn't even be at SCOTUS

- There is no remotely plausible argument on Trump's side

- America is over if its not at least 7-2 in favor of Congress and the DC circuit

- My fear is 5 Conservatives find some way to kick it back to a lower court and let Trump "run out the clock".
