And 4 of those are certain. So in practice, only john roberts opinion matters.

If any of the 4 dems creats an opening, it's over.

Look at it this way. If a case involving clarence thomas came before the court, clarence thomas would be the one to decide if he had a conflict of interest in hearing the case. He, and he alone, determines it. He could cast a vote just by declaring he can put aside his own interests and make his decision on the merits of the case.

If they rule the pres has limits, they are saying they do, and they aren't likely to do that. It isn't in the constitution, so it will be an interpretation.
