If his cases go to the SC, they will have NO reason to cover for him any longer. They will be like, Donald Who? That is my feeling.

(20,836 posts)ALL Judicial appointments made by Kamala Harris if she is the next POTUS and they gain control of the Senate.
That would mean US Supreme Court nominees as well.
Not to mention, Cabinet and other picks as well.

I think the court still might meddle- GA seems like its preparing an engraved invitation for SCOTUS meddling- and candidate challenges under the ECA May end up before the court, but I still think the odds for SCOTUS handing the presidency to Trump are lower than most think.
Remember, the counting of electoral votes in congress on January 6 is not within the jurisdiction of the courts, so any meddling would have to be done on a state by state basis before then (really before the safe harbor date in December), and would involve blatantly overturning the will of the voters.
Unless there are numerous (as in four or more swing states) cases where the margin in a state is just a few hundred votes or less, as in Florida in 2000, I just dont see the likelihood of a SCOTUS-assisted coup.
