Yeah, I actually heard that too. So, it may indeed have some affect, but I won’t hold my breath. I have lost most of my faith in Supreme Court, along with other agencies.
He pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge.
I feel the same, 2 tier justice system.
“So my question is will this cause a DELAY in Trump’s J6 trial scheduled for March 4?”
Good chance that it will, either a relatively short one or a very long one, depending on the decision. Right now the Court has only granted certiorari, meeting that an entire schedule for briefs and oral arguments will need to be established. Since the court often holds its most controversial decisions until the end of its term, which will occur at the end of June, 2024, there’s a good chance that there won’t be any result until them. Thus, there won’t be any action on any case that involves these issues at least until that date. If, as I suspect, the Court declares all of these suspect counts invalid, then Smith will have your redo all of his pleadings to remove those counts and start all over again with necessary pretrial proceedings. There is no way that kind of legal paperwork in preparation can reasonably be done in the approximately five months before the election. Also, since many of the other cases against Trump, especially the Atlanta one, rely on much of the same theory as the DC case, this should substantially delay anything that relies, directly or indirectly, on the obstruction theory of the DC case.
