TL;DR NY Times predicts trump will remain on the ballet and the ruling will likely have a very narrow basis in hopes of achieving unanimous consensus from the court.

Can't scotus just stall, for example say that they will take up the case in idk 2026 and call it a day? I mean I would not like it and a lot of people wouldn't but at this point they don't even pretend to be unbiased, right?

The SC is a partisan institution. I haven't seen a convincing argument otherwise.

It’s up to them whether they take a case and when. I’m sure they can and have stalled on cases to not change the results of an ongoing process, but have also taken some more quickly when they think timeliness is important.

A non-partisan SCotUS would pay attention to critical timing and try to minimize the impact

However a partisan court has a bias to take the case and rule according to their preferences
