    If a lower court ruled against them, they wouldn’t excuse themselves and rule in their own favor.

    Or they would and they’d let the other three justices do the dirty work for them.

    Either way, you’d need a particularly career-advancement-adverse lower court judge to even consider advancing this to the SCOTUS on favorable terms.
