    Out of any appointment, Trump views his Supreme Court nominations as exceptionally disloyal. They’ll be among the first victims of his retribution.

    I think they’ll come down hard against him.

        I think you are right to be cynical, but I agree that I don’t think it’s likely they’ll throw him a bone on this. The arguments against him are pretty cut and dry, because in no way can you construe that it’s within a president’s duties to overturn or influence election results.

        The Supreme Court loves States’ Rights, and allowing Trump immunity here runs afoul of their beloved doctrine.
