Maybe it’s just a dream, but, if it ever got as far as SCOTUS, there’s an obvious argument that the two juices, er uh, justices appointed by 0 would have to recuse themselves because the implication behind the case is that their appointments would be void as well. Since they have a direct, personal interest in the decision, they are ethically required to recuse.

That would leave a ratio of 5:2 in favor of the conservatives or 4:2:1 if you consider Kennedy to be a wildcard.

Excellent deduction! However, would it even get heard to begin with? I've my doubts, based in history.
