Trump's argument if he gets to the Supreme Court.

[kentuck]

"I expected to get Alito and Thomas' vote, and since I gave Kavanaugh and Gorsuch a lifetime position, and then hired on Amy Coney Barrett for the job of her life, how could they ever vote against me?"

He expects them to show complete loyalty and appreciation.

If even one of them votes against him, they will be forever on his shitlist and will receive numerous threats from his supporters.

How could they!

1. Neil Katyal President Obama's solicitor gen seems to think it will never go b4 SCOTUS

Why would they? Conservative as they maybe, it isn’t a kangaroo court!

[Karadeniz]

3. Well, the chief justice presided over, countenanced the Senate's kangaroo impeachment court.

[Turin_C3PO]

8. Roberts position

during the impeachment was basically ceremonial. Mitch McConnell was the one with the real power. This, however, is a different issue. It's Roberts' court.

[Karadeniz]

13. He should have said he'd preside over an impeachment trial when the senate decided to have a real

Trial, as in allow witnesses. Justice isn't a show, or shouldn't be.

9. Bush v. Gore?

[The Roux Comes First]

2. Sadly, Especially in the Case of the Last Three

That abject bootlicking may actually come to pass.
Much as with Barr.

We must continue to pray for some creatures with spines to show themselves.

[dchill]

4. He DOES know they'll see this, right?

Keep it up, Mushroom-D!

[Eyeball_Kid]

5. There's no case to argue.

Trumpy just wants them to do what he wants with no rationale, no argument. “Just install me. I’ve done you favors!”

Trumpy missed this part of the “transaction”: he no longer has leverage over his three picks. They’re immune to any of his vengeful actions. They’re in lifetime appointments. In typical Trumpian fashion, they all can stiff him and refuse to pay him back without consequences. However, there likely WILL be consequences if they install him. The USSC will lose any credibility as an institution, and its justices will be vulnerable to impeachment.

6. Once again, he doesn't know how anything works....

I suppose Altitude Express, Inc. v. Zarda that expanded the Civil Rights Act to cover LGTBQ folks, with Gorsuch writing the majority opinion, is lost on him. Even if they take it up, which is beyond remotely doubtful as nothing they've put forward so far has a gram of merit, he'll get at most 3 votes. Maybe less. He must really, really, really be afraid of prosecution.

7. Why would the Roberts Court sacrifice their legitimacy for Trump?

merits, or lack of, in the case:
Think about it. They have LIFE TIME positions. Why would they give up their gig? If they install a dictator, they loose their power. All bets are off... the rule of law means nothing anymore and they are superfluous.

Also... he has NO friends. No will sacrifice anything for him.

[Girard442]

10. Why would the Rehnquist Court sacrifice their legitimacy for George W. Bush?

They did, you know.

[Zoonart]

11. To a lesser degree.

I never thought that Bush was a danger to Democracy. I never thought he wanted to be a dictator.

[TwilightZone]

16. They're not even remotely the same thing.

Bush was 537 votes in Florida. This would be invalidating the results of several entire states.

[tableturner]

12. None of the justices want to make fools of themselves...

... irrespective of party, and that's what would happen if they even took this case.

[KatyMan]

15. And it's not like he can unappoint them.

Why and what do they owe him? They got what they wanted from a transient actor in their career.

[Rice4VP]

14. They have these jobs for life. Why do they care if they

are on his sh!tlist? Both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have voted against him already. The only thing he can do about it is Tweet

[bdamomma]

17. Is this their

end game?? to go to the Supreme Court??

Isn't this tRump's last ditch effort???

[JustAnotherGen]

18. Next level
