It was Special Counsel Jack Smith who asked SCOTUS to take up the issue.

Yea, months ago and they declined. Then it went to the appeals court and, naturally, they ruled no one has broad immunity.

Now the SCOTUS is just like sike we'll take it after all.

No doubt Dems wanted this pre-election for political reasons, but it's pretty clear the conservative justices are playing their own political game too. I don't see how the timeline can put that in question at all. Their version of "quick" is another 4 month delay after the first 3 month one.

Thomas et all are sick of the political bullshite.

They’d rather it stop but had made it clear that if it continued, they would have to address it.

You mean it followed the normal procedure of going to a lower appeals court before moving up to the Supreme Court?

Following normal procedure, the horror!!!

SCOTUS denying to hear a case until it’s worked its way entirely through the lower courts is completely standard practice.
