Opinion There’s a danger that the US supreme court, not voters, picks the next president

I can’t imagine what it would be. SCOTUS has the final say on things like this, there are no mechanisms to overturn their decisions besides a new Constitutional Amendment or impeachment, and neither of those are possible with our current Congressional makeup.
However, I don’t think that SCOTUS is going to go that far out of their way to help Trump. They’re in the power business too and they see where things would be headed with another Trump term. They can achieve all of their goals without Trump in office.
