The Court under Roberts has tried to avoid being viewed as a rubber stamp for Trump or anti-Trump parties and wherever possible has punted on political/election related matters. Even Trump himself seems truly outraged that his Court nominees didn’t show “loyalty” to him when dismissing a series of election-related cases. I guess he forgot that the Court allowed him to run out the clock on several cases dealing with disclosure of his tax and financial information by sending the cases back to lower courts for “further consideration”. Even when they soundly rejected Trump’s contention of absolute immunity while he was in office, they sent the case back to the trial court for additional argument.
