One could argue the Espionage Act created this power but this court will definitely decide as you say. Even when Thomas and Alito are replaced by Justices Cannon and Lindell.
The best chance of having a Justice Canon would have been prior to now. If the control of the Senate flips, I hope that any position on SCOTUS that might open up would be denied based on POTUS being a lame duck following the precedent set by Mitch.
I don't think anyone still believes that that McConnell was acting in good faith there. If we don't get a December appointment then we're in for a long standoff.
Considering Trump's appointees haven't been as loyal as Thomas and Alito, I can only see him nominating absolute simps. He's going to need the pre-emptive self-pardon to hold up after all.
