To my mind, one of the most galling things is that, during Donald Trump's own impeachment trial for this very matter his attempts to overturn the election his own lawyer, before the nation and before the Senate, argued the literal opposite of what his lawyer is now arguing to the Supreme Court
That was the legal argument Trump's lawyers used in 2021 to help avoid conviction in the Senate: Don't worry, you can still vote to acquit him, and we all still know, because it's obvious, that he could face criminal sanctions.
Trump has asked the Supreme Court if he is, in effect, a king, and at least four members of the court, among them the so-called originalists, have said, in essence, that they'll have to think about it.
