Sure... So Biden and Harris keep hold of the office or Biden steps down and Harris would have to choose her VP. Which I assume she would choose her running mate. That doesn't really sound like a good plan for the slow learners either

“Constitution doesn’t say that we can’t appoint Trump as dictator while we figure it out” - Uncle Thomas

Oh whom am I kidding, dude doesn’t even know how to say a sentence with more than five words.

The courts can't make rules, they can just perceive what was there. So it's either election validated, or not validated yet, meaning the office wouldn't hand over power. Congress would have to write an amendment for that to happen (2/3rds vote, which neither party holds)

SCOTUS ruled on a case of something that didn’t even happen, just a “what if”. They absolutely can make shit up and rule on hypotheticals.
