Former President Donald Trump could learn Monday whether the Supreme Court will let him appear on this year’s ballot as he tries to close in on the Republican presidential nomination.
“I would expect that a goodly number of states will say whoever the Democratic candidate is, you’re off the ballot, and others, for the Republican candidate, you’re off the ballot. It will come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election. That’s a pretty daunting consequence,” the chief justice, John Roberts, said during oral argument.

Damn inconsistent of them, being concerned about consequences after the current court’s previous rulings.
“If we do the right thing now, Republicans will act in bad faith to do the wrong thing later” is such a bullshit cop-out but it happens all the fucking time.

Democracy is already broken, the popular vote winner doesn’t get to be president if they are Democrat, unless the margin is very large.
It comes down to just a handful of states anyway
