    You might be underestimating the supreme court’s pension for changing their opinion once it suits them politically.

      I was thinking in the abstract, without complicating it in the context of a corrupt Supreme Court.

      The ruling in the affirmative would have been troubling from many viewpoints.

      Should States bar people from ballots without a trial and conviction? What would be the limitations of that?

      It’s a can of worms I don’t think we have good answers for, however much we want Trump to be held accountable for his actions.
