@glynmoody I honestly have no idea what will happen here.

@glynmoody The justices are loyal to conservatism, but at this point they are beyond Trump's ability to touch.On the other hand it's also probable that these lawsuits will not be heard by SCOTUS. A lot of them have been dismissed in lower courts due to the plaintiffs in said cases lacking standing.Now if Trump gets convicted things might actually get interesting here, as then we'll be in uncharted territory.
