    SCOTUS can’t overrule an election outcome unless there is contention and proof

    They can do whatever the fuck a majority of them wants. That’s why Mitch McConnell considered stacking the courts much more important to his legacy than electoral success.

    The way the broken system works, they have the final say on ANYTHING and can only be overruled by the by now impossible constitutional amendment process.

    No matter how nonsensical or blatantly corrupt their reasoning, their judgment is effectively final.

      If SC tries to force an illegitimate Trump presidency down our throats there will be hell to pay. Biden might also need to use some of his newly-acquired presidential immunity superpowers and ship the SC to Antarctica to do science research for the rest of their tenure.
