-
Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site's, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.
-
Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed.
-
Posts must have appropriate source flair selected from the provided list. If the source could have two flairs, select the one you think better represents the post's content. Eg, an announcement from the Governor's office released through the Denver Post should be tagged ''Official' rather than 'News'.

But they don't have two weeks. The SCOTUS doesn't have any scheduled argument or conference days left on the calendar before the fifth, and there are two federal holidays between now and the fifth. And Trump has yet to file an appeal.
It also doesn't require immediate reaction from the SCOTUS unless they want to strike him from the ballot. The Colorado court issued its own stay pending appeal, which was a brilliant maneuver. Trump must appeal to stay on the ballot, and if there is an appeal, it doesn't require an expedited shadow docket emergency stay.
I still think the decision comes down favoring Trump 5-4, maybe 5-3 if Gorsuch recuses himself to avoid flip-flopping. But that's only because we have an illegitimate court stacked with perjurers and lackeys bought and paid for.
