This. I predict that if the Court grants cert. many will express renewed outrage that it refused Jack Smith’s request. The Court is hypocritical and partisan about many things, but not in this instance. The comparisons aren’t apples-to-apples.
Lawyers doing what they do best. Charging more in an hour than some people make in a month for the privilege of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

So, then having a month or so to determine if elected, but “ineligible,” whether or not he can take office. In the meantime they can continue to work on their contortions to make the political ruling they want to make.
