Election night 2024 is going to be 10x more epic than 2016 was.

SCOTUS will not fast track Jack Smith’s bull shite case

I think you're wrong. I don't take notes while participating in these threads but my recollection - the vast majority of DeSantis primary supporters are like me, absolutely not cheering for Jack Smith, quite the opposite in fact.
then you are either intentionally denying reality, or you are even more dementia riddled then potato brain is.

That dude’s self awareness wiring is completely fouled up, I can see smoke from electrical fire coming from his ears. So this guy who already has a very bad reputation within Supreme Court circles thought he would be able to slip in a historically abysmal application to that same Court. What an embarrassment to the profession. And to his family.

You're asking me to accept your opinion as fact, and you've demonstrated over and over in these threads an incapability/unwillingness to consider anything related to Trump rationally.
Name the Ronbots that are cheering on Smith.

I don’t know why anyone views this can-kicking as a good thing.
No one on any side of the political spectrum should want this dumb shite lingering over the election.

Then you don’t know anyone that prefers to follow our legal processes.

Oh then by all means educate me
Please explain why going through completely pointless machinations at the DC Circuit level is in anyone’s interest? What grave principle of legal process am I missing?
SCOTUS is going to ultimately decide the issue anyways, and would have been well within their constitutional power to grant the emergency request.
Eta: regardless, you don’t address my question— why would anyone actually want this issue lingering over the election? If anything, it only hurts Trump.

Reviewing the Meese amicus wouldn’t have allowed for such a ruling? Need the attorneys on here to chime in.

Amicus briefs have no inherent value. It’s like sending a paper airplane note to the Court. They can read it, adopt it, agree or disagree with it, or throw it away unopened at their leisure.

Could be me that’s missing something, as I’m working off of assumptions. In a nutshell, I thought the Court declined to hear it at this stage essentially because it’s not ripe for their review unless and until there’s an application by either side for review of the appellate court’s decision.

Ideally be persuaded by it/them.

I don't think I ever made a comment about what I thought they would do, just that this is what I've been hearing for years that Trump supporters wanted. They always reference these cases going to the Supreme Court.
I mean if you don't want these cases to go to the Supreme Court then cool just make your desires known and clear.

The Court didn’t give reasons. Just denied to hear it. Which is normal.
It’s disappointing IMO because of how pointless the appeals process is in this instance. Completely pointless for the circuit to hear the case. It’s a case of first impression and will be ultimately decided by SCOTUS anyway. I fail to see the merit in demanding that the DC Circuit rule first.

I don't think so. It would be over. This case at least

To have other judges analyze and opine on the matter. That’s the normal course of business. I didn’t really understand the argument to deviate from that to begin with.
