They won’t be able to ‘punt’ on that decision!!!
One thing I think about a lot: they could have ruled in his favor when he whined about the 2020 election and they didn't. And a few of them have ruled against him in cases where I thought they wouldn't.
A) Not an open loophole for a different challenge.
B) Actually upholds the law entirely, not 'punt' the issue so they can reverse course when it's politically savvy to do so.
They will find a way to work around it.
