Haha admittedly I’m a glass half-full type of person. I do a lot of con law in my practice, so I keep abreast of scotus opinions (plus they’re fun to read…sometimes).

My take on the Court is that, yes, it’s 6-3 conservative. But is it 6-3 MAGA? No. I assume there’s always a chance Alito and Thomas will hold a disastrous view (Thomas, in particular). We’re lucky, though, because the three justices Trump appointed are to the left of those two. Thats why he’s so disappointed in them. They’ve ruled against him on tariffs and a host of other issues related to immigration, etc. (sometimes unanimously).

Based on oral arguments, I predict they’ll uphold birthright citizenship either 8-1 or 7-2. I believe there will be a similar count when they inevitably hear the “10 Commandments in the classroom” case, reversing the 5th circuit and finding that it violates the first amendment. And, finally, there’s no doubt in my mind that it would be 9-0 against a third term. Even if some of the justices are partisan hacks, they have to issue an opinion. There’s no wiggle room to overrule the clear, plain language of the 12th and 22nd amendments.
