Also notable that even if the "stop the steal" claim is generously boiled down to the PA late ballots case that the Supreme Court finally rejected yesterday, even conservative Justice Thomas noted that it wouldn't have had any impact on the outcome of the election

Also the complaint that some courts didn't reach the merits of lawsuits filed by Trump and allies ignores the fact that many lawsuits were filed well after the election was over even though the claims could have been litigated months before, which is why some were dismissed

U.S. Supreme Court formally pulls the plug on election-related cases reut.rs/3kkaaKM
Justice Thomas notes in dissent from decision to hear PA late ballot case -- which a lot of the "stop the steal" rhetoric was premised on -- that decision to extend the deadline after Election Day "was not outcome determinative for any federal election"
Back in October, the court split 4-4 in denying a stay in PA case. But only four votes are needed for court to take up an appeal. It would appear based on the dissents today that Kavanaugh was the one who voted to grant the stay but then voted not to hear the appeal

Of note to Supreme Court:
-Travel ban to be revoked
-Plan to exclude noncitizens from census to be revoked
-Path to citizenship for dreamers proposed as part of immigration bill
-Border wall construction halted
-Undoing Remain in Mexico asylum plan could take time
Border wall & remain in Mexico cases are scheduled for argument next month but as both were based on executive actions the administration could presumably make both of them go away quite easily
There are also appeals pending at the Supreme Court on the Trump "public charge" rule for immigrants that the Biden administration could presumably withdraw assuming the court doesn't quickly act on them (which it could have done already and hasn't)
