What? That makes no sense. There is no purpose in having some perfunctory decision by an appellate court in this instance. Literally nothing the circuit court of appeals does matters now or ever will matter in any way.

Setting a multi-century precedent is not something which should result from a short-circuited process.
The decision of whether or not Trump is immune from the charges has NOTHING to do with timing or the merits of Smith’s charges.
It’s a threshold issue.

He refuses to understand this.
The Supreme Court may still rule before the election also.

The timing issue, and choice of when to bring the case, was Smith's. Not Trump's. The timing was chosen by Smith to maximize political damage to Trump.
Accordingly, Smith decided to bring J6 to court >3yrs after it occurred ... in the midst of the 2024 election season, just vlike his other crap cases. Meaning, if he just managed ONE guilty verdict in 90+ counts, Trump would not have time for an appeal and overturn. ONE bullshite conviction, even by an extremely biased DC jury, even with legally assured reversal on appeal, could throw the POTUS election. That was Smith's plan. He gambled. It is what it is.
Play stupid games ... win stupid prizes.

Once SCOTUS rules, they won't.

Are appellate courts useless now? Finally, we can break that one up in the West.

You and that other tool shed are right.
This is definitely bad for Trump. It was a brilliant move by Smith to go around DC circuit and get bitched slapped by SCOTUS.

You gave an absurd example, which I thought included these. If your example didn't, then add them
And the hyper-partisans likely won't care after the USSC ruling because they'll choose sides based on that, now.

quote:Apparently you don’t. Because I think those cases should be played out before the election. But I also realize that unless something drastic comes to light, all of them so far are weak bullisht.
I would imagine there are 6-7 figures of registered Republicans who would argue that the voters need to have the ability to make their choice after the cases play out.
I understand what you're saying, but I think there are a ton of voters who want these cases to play out for clarity

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.
Agreed. However, fast tracking the entire case does.
