The independent state legislature theory sounds like it's not impressing the Supreme Court but that's a dodged bullet rather any actual ground gained.

Sure, but I think the back pating might be related to the fact that the only thing the House is going to achieve this time around is botching the 2024 election for their party. They have zero discipline, they're going to say things the candidate has to answer for, and the general public will sour on them fast. It's almost guaranteed they'll shut down the government. And that always goes wrong.
