TL;DR NY Times predicts trump will remain on the ballet and the ruling will likely have a very narrow basis in hopes of achieving unanimous consensus from the court.

      I’m no expert, but I would guess a constitutional crisis and then bad stuff (i.e. nobody knows, it’s not supposed to happen).

      Conceivably there could be military intervention; the national guard was called to intervene after many schools refused to comply with the ruling of Brown v. Board of Education.

      Well, all the teabaggers that cry about “states rights” will surely support Colorado/Maine, right?

      Right?

      what if Colorado/Maine tells the SC to go piss up a rope after the ruling?

      Who would care? The MAGA court has lost legitimacy.

        That’s not how this works. The blots would be printed without trumps name on them. Wtf is the national guard going to do, seize ballots? They have no authority. This is a states right issue. The scotus has no power here.

      Why would you expect that? SC overrides lower courts all the time and it doesn’t turn into insurrection.
