Office Pool- How does SCOTUS rule on the Trump state ballot debacle
« on: December 29, 2023, 04:36:05 pm »
I think most of us have a pretty decent idea that there is almost a certainty that Trump wins his case, but this is a really good barometer to see how politically miiitant that the left leaning Judges might go.

My pick...   8-1.  Brown brown noses her way into progressive hearts.

I think Kagan and that broad who can't define "woman" will dissent.

Sotomayor and what-her-name will dissent.  Kagan sides with the majority.

8-1 because there is always that one Judge, who for whatever reason, is just stupid and has to be on the wrong side of history.

Such a contrast from 1896 where that one Justice (John Harlan) was smart and on the right side of history while everyone else got it wrong.

I think there's a reasonable chance SCOTUS will refuse to hear it without a Circuit-level decision.

The US Supreme Court will want the cover of lower Federal court rulings before stepping into this manure pile.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
