SCOTUS should slow walk this. Let it run its course in the Federal appeals system. SCOTUS should hear it in the Fall, then let the electorate weigh in before issuing any ruling.

Why?

I fail to see the reasoning other than wanting that solely because it’s potentially advantageous to Trump individually.

There’s no reason that the electorate needs to go into the election speculating as to whether Trump can even be indicted. Just resolve it now.

My opinion has nothing whatsoever to do with advantageousness to Trump. SCOTUS needs to do what it can to avoid politicizing itself in an election year. If it finds against Smith in an expedited hearing, and thereby scuttles Smith's DC case, its action would appear political. If it finds (incorrectly IMO) that Smith and the Obama judge are correct, the finding would appear political. It sounds as if you are assuming Trump wins in the Fall.
