General strike

14. I don't think the court touches it, especially if it's a blowout.

Regardless of the makeup. There's just no Constitutional basis for overriding the laws of a bunch of states and setting one of the worst precedents in SC history. Roberts is pretty clearly concerned about the legacy of "his" court, and he still has significant influence. They can't really even fake it because the jurisdictional issues are so clear. Florida in 2000 only worked because one state had a 500-vote gap and the decision was still historically bad. This would dwarf that.

The assertion that Barrett was rushed in for only this is mostly a myth. She's been in the pipeline for years and is a Federalist Society darling. She's there for 40 years of ultra-conservative rulings. I think we overstate how willing the conservative justices are to throw their reputations in the trash for Trump.

I know..."Trump says" she was placed there for this. I tend to assume everything he says is a lie, including that assertion. Why "we" suddenly started believing him of late is a little beyond my understanding. He isn't lying any less than before. He says stuff like that to get a rise out of people, and it works every time.
