3 prediction markets price this story:
- Before 2028 — the market puts it at 19%, with $219 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump wins the trial-level ruling in his lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation. It resolves to No if he does not achieve that superior outcome at this specific court level. Readers often mistake the deadline or confuse this case with other lawsuits involving Trump and media outlets.
- Before Trump's term ends — the market puts it at 6%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to 'Yes' if the President suspends the writ of habeas corpus before January 20, 2029. It resolves to 'No' if this event does not occur by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about media bans for the triggering event, but only a suspension of habeas corpus counts.
- any 3rd Amendment case — the market puts it at 2%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the Supreme Court agrees to hear any Third Amendment case before January 20, 2029. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the dismissal of a lower court lawsuit for the final resolution of the issue.
