We will see the outcome.
The supreme court already rejected arguments against People v. Clinton in 1997. The situation is basically identical and no other case law exists for precident. What makes you think the supremes will hear the case this time?

The only reason I could see is if the administration puts heavy (and potentially illegal) pressure on the supremes to hear the case, and would need a very clear and legally sound reason to derail the prior ruling. "Because democrats were in power then" doesn't qualify.
