The thing that I don't get is that if the SCOTUS will not hear the case because they are concerned about making a ruling that would impact the presidency, then on the same coin, by not getting involved you are making a ruling that is impacting the presidency.
They are there to hear cases in constitutional questions. There is a clear constitutional question that has massive impacts. If you aren't going to hear this then you are complicit in the clear breaking of the constitutional requirements regarding federal elections. At a MINIMUM, they must hear the case. There is too much on the line for them to not hear the case.
And if they think that they will remain SCOTUS after a potential upcoming civil war, they would be fooling themselves. Neither side will allow them to remain after SHTF.
If they don't take the case, it means they're running away and hiding from the issue at hand. "Peace out, I'm not getting involved in this fucking mess."
As you said, that is a ruling itself. That will have implications for them as well.
