No way a conservative court is ever allowing it and there's no way a liberal court is allowing it unless the candidate is a liberal darling.

The Dems would only allow it if it were a republican candidate

FTFY. A liberal court would write a sternly worded letter and wear a RBG dissent collar while making sure to narrowly block it.
