The question remains unanswered: by what mechanism could the SC intervene?
They were explaining it last eve.......It's akin to a Writ of Certiorari whereby they petition SCOTUS because of an egregious denial of Constitutionally guaranteed civil rights and abuses of due process.
An emergency appeal because the politically motivated trial judge violated Trump’s Constitutional rights of free speech and due process by transforming a misdemeanor into a felony.
Mark Levin has mentioned a common law precedence for situations like this. He can explain it better than me...
The same way they intervened in the GORE/BUSH election in 2000. Mark Levin reported the details of how to ask about a week ago.

The only mechansm that exists. Scotus can only act in response to a petition for writ of cert, bringing the case to them. The petition would certify that the issue was finalized by the state of New York by either denying an appeal or declining to review the case. Until then, there is no finalized state action to be brought before Scotus.
Interpretations of state law would not be brought to Scotus as the highest state court is the ultimate arbiter of interpretating state law.
A prospective federal case would most likely be brought alleging violations of due process.
If I were doing lawfare, which I am not, and I could arrange things, I would have the Appellate Division slow walk it, and then I would have the NY Court of Appeals (the highest court of NY) slow walk it until after the election, and then overturn the lower courts and remand the case. The lawfare purpose of calling Trump a convicted felon until the election would be satisfied, and Scotus would never have the opportunity to say a word about the whole disgraceful process.
Regarding Bush v. Gore, that was appealed from the highest court in the state of Florida. The Trump case has not yet completed action at the trial court, and has not begun appellate action within the State.
Petition of common writs. Although rare, this is the mechanism for direct appeal to the USSC
Obviously the Trump team would have to petition the court.
Could not a citizen in another state file a complaint stating election interference by NYS?
How about to up hold the Constitution and the law for starters.
They trampled all over Trumps Constitutional rights during that sham trial .
