re: Roberts/SCOTUS needs to address this Trump shite right now

I don't think Trump is guilty of "insurrection", so I don't see how that is possible.

The DOJ would immediately drop charges

We don't know this. There is an old memo, but no actual law or precedential ruling.

Assuming the Constitutional issues do require a pause, and ignoring the pardon issue (since it's very unclear in the present), they could just resolve the issue by having everyone agree to stay the case until he was out of office, then resume the prosecution once he's out of office in January of 2029.

I guess a future administration's DOJ could try ignoring the pardon, and bring the case, which would force the issue to SCOTUS?

Assuming the pardon was vali and legal, they could not.

Assuming the pardon was invalid and illegal, they could.

Depending on composition of the Senate, the most significant impediment to Trump in this whole process would be Congressional approval of an AG.

No. It would be removal by the Senate after another impeachment.
