This is some shitty tea leaf reading. A majority of the court was definitely wasnt sympathetic to trump in the oral arguments. We're realistically probably going to get a 9-0 against Trump as the court likes to show unity in politically contentious cases.
It's not gonna be 9-0, because Thomas's vote is already bought. It's gonna be 8-1 or 7-2, but written in such a way that it imposes so much work on the lower courts that the three cases affected by it won't go to trial before the election.
It's getting kicked back to the lower courts
I sure hope you're right.
