The U.S. Supreme Court spent the morning after Election Day hypothesizing about meteor strikes and Molotov cocktails. No, the justices weren’t talking about fallout from Donald Trump’s victory.

The nation’s top tribunal was instead discussing those “freakish” scenarios in an effort to determine the viability of a securities fraud lawsuit against Facebook over another presidential election eight years earlier. In particular, the lawsuit focuses on the precipitous $100 billion stock drop which followed news reports that a political consulting firm had used Facebook data to support Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
