Huh? Where did I suggest it was a foregone conclusion?
I think you’re naive if you think the Democrats would ever do anything meaningful in that situation. If that were the case, something would have been done years ago. They will not do such obviously unethical things (even if the potential outcome is good). That’s not how they have ever operated.
What would Democrats do? You think they’ll actually reform the Supreme Court? LOL. Even if they tried, it would never happen, and especially not before the election.
I’m genuinely curious what you think the Democrats would do to “take advantage” of the hypothetical SCOTUS decision on Trump? What are conservative justices worried Democrats might do?
No, the implication here is that they might not rule in favor of Trump because they know the future is uncertain and doing that would be risky. I’m not sure how I could have made that more clear. If you can claim that they will definitely rule in favor of Trump then you will have certainly demonstrated your belief in your powers of prognostication.
Ruling against Roe. Ruling that a company can refuse service to a theoretical gay customer because they’re gay. Ruling that affirmative action is unconstitutional. Ruling against Biden’s student loan forgiveness.
I would also say things like blatantly flaunting your billionaire handlers is pretty risky as well, and literally nothing came of that.

Also, what would they even do?
Where you made this all about Biden as if there would never be another Democrat in the presidency again.
Unlike you, I do not believe I can predict the future with that confidence. And I don’t think SCOTUS believes they can either.
Take it down a notch, dude, you’re coming in real hot and it’s not clear to me why.
I never claimed I could predict the future. You really like putting words in my mouth.
This is what you said:
That is literally a prediction of the future. I did not put any words in your mouth.
As far as “coming in real hot,” you are welcome to interpret what I say to you that way, but you would be incorrect.

Again, I do not claim to be able to predict the future. And neither do SCOTUS. Which is the point.
The implication here is that nobody ever makes plans because “they can’t predict the future.” That’s silly.

You know what was also risky?
Ruling against Roe. Ruling that a company can refuse service to a theoretical gay customer because they’re gay. Ruling that affirmative action is unconstitutional. Ruling against Biden’s student loan forgiveness.

This isn’t exactly a risk-adverse SCOTUS.
