What, about this specific case, REMOTELY gives the USSC jurisdiction before NY appeals are done?
Nothing, is what.
It’s obvious Trump got a fair trial.
And why let a little thing like a presidential election interrupt the appeals process.
Cause we are all about fairness,right?
There is no requirement in the U.S. Constitution that says that things must flow up through a series of other courts before heading to the Supreme Court.
The Constitution clearly sets that the Supreme Court is the ultimate court in the land. Nothing in there says it can't pick a case...they just choose not to do so until it's run a gauntlet.
It is also interesting that Article 2 of Section states, "In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction." If a former President doesn't count as a public minister, who does?
HAVING to go through lower courts before being heard by the SC, just sounds like more legal made-up nonsense...similar to 'qualified immunity'.
