TPTB will act cocksure in victory no matter what, and the same could be said for Trump and his legal team, too, so I don't think your reasoning here is very accurate or says much of anything about Trump's chances. And again, you're not actually saying anything about the SCOTUS judges themselves, you're just basing it on what could go wrong, which somehow then jumps to there not being even a sliver of an iota of a chance (which might as well be saying it's impossible, even if you're saying it's 0.1% rather than 0%). Also, what do you even define as the system here? Is the legal system inherently against Trump? The lower courts likely are, but there's a reason everyone here has been focusing on the SCOTUS, are they inherently against him? I've heard the kingmaker argument before, but it applies to the decision SCOTUS makes no matter what (though on that note, their verdict won't be that direct anyways).
