"Move over Bush v. Gore. The Supreme Court’s roster of 2024 cases revolving around Donald Trump will plunge the court into the presidential election to an extent not seen since the debacle of 2000. This time, the justices’ involvement could be even more fraught. Twenty-four years ago, a high court with a shaky conservative majority intervened after the votes had been cast and the candidates had fought to an ostensible draw. Today, a very different Supreme Court — whose conservative majority was expanded by Trump himself — will directly determine the trajectory of the presidential contest before the general election campaign is even underway. In the next few months, the court may need to decide whether Trump will spend much of the campaign sitting in a courtroom, whether he must remain muzzled from spewing some of his signature vitriol — and whether he can even run at all." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/04/supreme-court-trump-decisions-election-00133761 #JustHuman #SupremeCourt #Election #Trump
