John Roberts is compromised.

Simple.

Post election, they’ll get around to it.

I think the immumity case may address this as well. As Trump “supposedly” performed his “criminal” acts while President, if the SC rules he has immunity, then wouldn’t that overturn the conviction?

The problem with Bush v Gore is that it has been tainted as much as the Dred Scott decision.

I strongly believe that the reason the Supremes didn't take up the election cases in 2020 is because they were afraid of being accused of tampering with the elections and deciding the winner.

That was the accusation against the court in the Bush v Gore case.

The Supremes have recently shown some desire to rule in election cases (after it made no difference), so there is still some hope.

The problem with going directly to USSC is that they are already seen by most Democrats as compromised partisans. As satisfying as it would be to use them to slap Bragg and his minions down quickly, a New York Court of Appeals reversal would accomplish the same goal and salvage some semblance of legitimacy for a compromised justice system.

Contrary to the claims of some Democrat Party "freepers", the American court system has been severely damaged.

All American "judges", clean or dirty, are now presumed to be acting with partisan interests.

I'm sorry it has to be this way, but there it is.

The long term takeaway is never conduct any business in New York, never invest in New York; never visit New York. Break all ties to New York, personal and professional.

President Trump is unable to discern between good and bad people, sad to say. He needs TRUSTED help like Steve Bannon or Dr. Gorka. Good God, he attracts so many scoundrels who use and abuse him. Please God, keep President Trump under your protection.

I don’t think Trump or the Supremes want this to go straight to the Supreme Court

I wouldn’t take legal advice from Levin. He was an anti-Trumper in the first place.

The biggest difference between this and Florida in 2000 is that SCOTUS intervened because there was a hard deadline to certify the election coming up and the Florida Supreme Court was putting their thumb on the scale by allowing only the recounting of Dade, Broward, and West Palm Beach counties.

The New York case doesn't face that hard deadline to act.
