Yeah. The reasons they're planning to decide what they're deciding have nothing to do with the legal arguments being made.

Isn't it great that the only way the supreme court can be recused from a case is if they decide they have a conflict of interest? You know...because the fact that Trump appointed 3 of them and the wife of one of them actively participated in an attempted insurrection don't qualify as "conflict of interest." What a fucked institution the Supreme Court is. Who could have predicted this would happen with a branch of the government defined by "all power and no accountability?"
