Not necessarily. SCOTUS is not going to just sit and listen, they will get vocal and that will be clues. Also, SCOTUS must be very aware that the current administration see's this whole thing as illegal or unconstitutional since they refused to defend in the supreme court and a lawyer had to be appointed. If you are a SCOTUS judge, how are you looking at that particular fact? It is a glaring admission....of something.
Much can be done after the 90 minutes Wednesday and Jan 20. If SCOTUS gives the government the room to, maybe a grand bargain,,which has already been talked about or structured to a degree but needs verification to come out from the courts to proceed. That's just one possibility of half a dozen I could think of.
