11. From a precedent standpoint I don't see this ending well in the courts

Lifetime appointments allow some people to have clear minds. There are plenty of partisan hacks on the court but that isn't the majority conservative or liberal.

I wouldn't be surprised if Roberts, Kavanaugh, Alito and Gorsuch didn't side with him on this. They would need to do mental gymnastics in 2 years if the roles are reversed and his polling sucks right now.
