It is truly said that in law nothing is certain but expense. I find it hard to believe the conservative majority will rule against Trump. On the other hand if some of them truly believe in originalism - which they purport to do than perhaps they will surprise us. Let us wait and see.

They believe in originalism (and precedence, and plaintiffs having standing before bringing suit, and basing decisions on facts instead of nebulous hypotheticals, and ...) when it helps them justify the decision they already made before arguments are even presented.

When applying any legal norms means they’d have to come to any other conclusion they quite happily and brazenly ignore them.

Republican hypocrisy knows no bounds.
