I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but they are following the Constitution in making this decision. The Constitution does not require a conviction.

I mean, three of the SCOTUS were appointed by the guy who tried to coup the U.S. government and a fourth is married to someone who also tried to coup the U.S. government. I don't think it's so much about whether the arguments why they "can't" overturn it are good arguments or not at this point. It's like telling a pidgeon to stop shitting on the chess board because shitting on the board is not a legal move in chess.
