With the facts and law on our side, and a conservative majority, I'm almost certain that we'll win this case. The nonsensical responses of the defendant states makes me think we could get a 9-0 ruling, which would be awesome for America. Lefty justices can make some terrible decisions but, in this case, I don't think they can do that without doing severe harm to their personal legacies. I honestly hope the lefties on the SC have some integrity left in them. It would be great to be able to respond to "Trump stole the election." with "The SC ruled 9-0."

I bet a fractured opinion.
(3) Kagan, Sotomayor, Breyer: DISMISS, Texas lacks any standing whatsoever to bring a suit complaining about other states' election procedures. Mind your own business.
(4) Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Coney-Barret: the defendant states messed up so bad it threatens to undermine the union compact -- really the bedrock purpose of our Constitution (which we fought a civil war over). We do not decide this election, but hereby nullify the electors' appointment in these four states and send the case back to those state's legislatures to fix.
(2) Gorsuch & Roberts: look for separate opinions effectively adopting one of the two results above but without the black & white reasoning. If we do get five votes, at least one opinion will have all kinds of weasel words so that this case isn't used to expand federal jurisdiction in state election cases.
