No legal mind here, but if it does come down to the Supreme Court, I predict the conservative majority (except probably Uncle Clarence) will not let Trump off the hook. They are under too much reputational pressure.
Abortion was one thing, because that's always been a conservative cause and Roe V Wade was a legal stretch. But they're not going to give 65% of the country and most of the historians the best evidence that the Court is just political. Roberts wants to do the right thing and Alito, Gorsuch, Cavanaugh, and Barrett (at least enough of them for a majority) are not going to give up a legacy as reasoned jurists for nutjob Trump.

I have thought of that, as well but am leaning to the greenlight. Majority opinion will be something like "the Supreme Court will not let (x number) of minority states determine who citizens can vote for in a federal presidential election"type thing.
I think the Supreme Court has always been political, the extent is where the debate begins...but when the SC can regulate Congress and the President, but it also can decide who sits there to begin with like Bush v Gore.

America is a patched tire at this point. Just waiting to blow out and maybe fly off down the road, maybe hit a few cars, then burn out in a ditch. I'm pessimistic. I think there is a new era of totalitarianism headed our way, and a threat of a civil war honestly.

Trump talks exactly like an experienced mob boss, because that is essentially what he is. He'll say some of the "right" things in the middle of his propaganda speeches, but when you spend months cultivating lies about the legitimacy of the election (which started long before the election even occurred), tell people their country is being stolen from them, have beautiful things to say about your political competitors (like merry Xmas!, ROT IN HELL"), you (and he) know what the result is going to be when you send them to the capitol. Indeed, he was so upset about the violence he did nothing about it for hours, despite begged to take action.
All he needed to say was "go take care of that thing...you know...but, uhhh, peacefully...yeah, that's the ticket." Lol

Worse than a patched tire. It's a plane that is on fire and slowly getting ready to crash into the ground and explode.
When empires as big as ours collapse, things get really fucking ugly and stupidly ridiculous.
What will happen exactly is unpredictable, but it's a sure thing there will be major upheaval and change that will come about as a result of this collapse. These events will be extremely dramatic by our standards. People are complacent because something like this hasn't happened in a few centuries.
But now, it's time for it to happen again.
Right now we're fighting over who has the controls as the burning plane descends. In the end the only difference it can make is that one person might at-least be able to stabilize the descent and make it easier for everyone to get through it. While someone else, might just make it worse and increase the chaos.

People been doomsdaying forever but that shit really hit politics as a talking point since the advent of Fox News and Glen Beck type media.
"This next election determines the existence of our Republic".....same tagline over and over since the 90s.....its gonna be 2024, dude.
