SCOTUS bats clean-up at the bottom of the inning.
Yeah, when is that?
Not so confident about that. At this point, the Biden Administration will simply ignore the SCOTUS.
Unless there is a federal law issue, the SCOTUS has no say. It is the NY state courts that will hear the appeal.
“ SCOTUS bats clean-up at the bottom of the inning.”
Trump needs 5 votes. Only thing that matters now is whether he is thrown in prison.
I don’t see a federal issue, other than requiring a stay of the sentence while Trump campaigns.
I agree but how soon can they get it to SCOTUS?
I have heard that there is a way to get it to them on a fast track
You are right, as "cleanup" is traditionally the 4th batter.
NY District Court was 1st, with Merchan batting.
NY Appellate Court will bat 2nd.
NY Appeals Court will bat 3rd.
SCOTUS will bat 4th, or cleanup.
That should be some time in 2025 or 2026. The verdict only has to survive until Nov 5th.
Agreed. That is, as long as they don't make up a reason for Trump to not have "standing".
Scotus is also garbage. Nothing is ever urgent enough for them to pick itnup. Chief Justice should pick it up tomorrow morning and vacate this crap
Roberts ready for his Deep State callup.
I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith on SCOTUS. The fact that this trial even happened is a direct result of the court completely ignoring the massive election irregularities during the 2020 election. That is even in the face of direct violations of previous rulings by the court that say you can't change the rules of the game in the middle of an election. The court allowed the fraud to persist by refusing to force any court to hear the issues of any case before them on the merits of the facts.
Screw the courts. we're just a really large and rapidly collapsing banana republic at this point.
