What if SCOTUS just gives a ruling without additional briefs, without oral arguments, without even voting to hear it. At this point, they could issue a ruling at any moment now based on the information given so far.

Repeat after me: SCOTUS can and will do whatever SCOTUS damn well wants to, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
I dont trust Scotus this consequential of a matter. Hate to say it.
I truly hope I'm wrong
Here's Sekulow's video about all the SCOTUS possibilities and how/why. There are many ways they can respond.

Yup watched it.. that's how I came to this lol
Ah. I thought is was sobering.
I'm not lawyer but I've learned more in a month about law than I have my entire life ha
Same. But now that I know a little, I really realize how much I DON'T know.
What is your actual question here? Yes, they can rule right now. They could have ruled without Amici and before the Texas reply brief. They could ask for additional briefing, oral arguments etc. In any event their ruling will bind. I would expect them to rule (if they choose to do so) before noon on Monday. The facts of the case are not in question, if you read the briefs. The question is: does the court feel the elections were tainted enough by the clearly unconstitutional actions of State Executives to irreparably damage the results? If so, what remedy will they order?
That isn't true at all, they could make a ruling on the case as of right now.
Absolutely could though, they have all the information.
They could order an injunction against electors from those four states casting ballots. That is well within their powers and is a reasonable step to buy time.
They could have a decision today as well ...crazy
