Not to burst bubbles or rain on parades, but the SC has not even decided to hear this case yet. That's what they will be doing on January 6th, deciding on whether or not to let this case be presented to them (along with thousands of others).
People are under the impression that there's a very large chance that we will win this case when there's only a teensy tiny chance the SC will even hear it.
This isn't dooming. It's just not putting the cart 20 miles ahead of the horse.
If people think that there's a good chance we will win this case and they understand that the SC hasn't decided on hearing it yet, that's fine. That's optimism. That's great, even.
But if people think there's a good chance we will win this case but they don't understand that the SC hasn't agreed to hear it yet and they don't understand that the SC only takes a very small fraction of the cases that people petition to them, then that is very, very bad. That is just a recipe for disaster. That's when people will start yelling that the SC is crooked and that they were bought and that we need to burn down the SC or some stupid shit.
So please just familiarize yourself with the basics (like if the SC has even decided to hear a case or not) before you start making wagers on the outcome.
