The classified documents at maralago, maybe even georgia, if that case ever even gets off the ground. Or the arguments regarding the colorado decision to remove trump from the ballot. Theres so much to consider. The motivation, the political effect on november, and the future of the court itself. How much public trust can it stand to lose before
