(47 posts)1. It just takes four to agree to take a case
I don't think they have the fifth vote even this court as extremely bad and so willing to bend to the knee of Trump have shown they do have a few limits. This court agreed to hear Trump v. Slaughter that was the unitary legislature case if they agreed with it, it would have let States do whatever they wanted with elections no checks from any state or federal court even this court said that went too far.
