re: SCOTUS will not fast track Jack Smith’s bull shite case against DJT.

Those rulings mean basically nothing

Case law, and appellate rulings mean basically nothing now? Well that's such an interesting POV.

What were you inclusively taught about value of Appeals Courts rulings in the judicial process?

In this HIGHLY SPECIFIC and IDIOSYNCRATIC scenario? Worthless

This is a case of first impression and de novo review that is immediately going to the Supreme Court.

Why are you trying to apply generality to this very narrow and specific example?

This is not a normal case and these sorts of things are incredibly rare. This is purely novel

Look at the ruling of the court

What is the ruling's underlying premise?

I honestly don't remember exactly. It will be in the ruling.

But his attorneys got to argue opposition correct? That's due process

The only value of intermediate appellate decisions when a higher court rules is academic masturbation.

Wow!
That is quite a novel opinion.

Why?

How much stock do you put in failed drug testing when you have a viable option? (other than academic purposes)

What use does your typical medical practitioner have in practice reading up on failed drug testing? Or do you only look at the successfully tested drugs when analyzing treatment avenues?

Tremendous interest. If systematic errors are present, we would want them ID'd. We'd want to sort out errors of sensitivity vs specificity and their circumstantial importance, etc.

Back to the point at hand, Opinions at appellate level may raise new Constitutional questions, or address unconsidered answers. Inconceivable as it may seem, Appeals Court Judges may, in some instances, be brighter and more capable than their SCOTUS counterparts.

E.g., Many liberal appellate justices would know what a woman is, even without consulting a biologist.

That's academic

That's done with the actual appeal. The intermediate level can't add issues/questions

But ultimately they don't get the final say. Again this is a completely novel issue. This is super rare.

Time to prepare a proper defense?

What?

His having time to prepare a merits defense to the charges has absolutely nothing to do with whether he is immune from being charged at all, which is what the present SCOTUS issue concerns.
