Worth remembering: Someone with more knowledge of legal history may correct me, but as I understand it, conservative justices tend to follow the constitution, but they also tend to stay inside the lines of case before them. It is against their nature to rule on questions that aren't asked. Contrast this with liberals who will jump at the chance to change something they have been wanting to change if someone will just ask a question (bring a case) that gets them close enough to "make the jump."
This is why lawyers with an agenda, both liberal and conservative, are careful to bring cases that pose the questions they want to be asked and answered.
My point is that just any "election case" may not have the desired overall result. It may take more than one case, or at least the right case, and so far we haven't gotten anything in front of them.
All that said, at least we have a good number of conservative justices, and I'm hoping as much as anyone else hereabouts.
