Trump has been very lucky to get his criminal trials delayed this far. If there was no election he would be sentenced by now and could be in jail. I'm OK with the delay in that sentence as there was a risk it would help him more than hinder.That would conflict with SCOTUS’ own ruling that the immunity issue must be tried at trial court. If they agreed to hear a case, what possible ruling could they make that doesn’t junk their own previous ruling requiring a trial within a trial? I don’t think they will accept such an appeal but will rule that any appeal must be on the merits of the finding in a full trial, ie immunity plus substantive issue. Even then, the number of cases would overwhelm SCOTUS.
And I always said that just the prospect of these trials starting and the evidence coming out will do damage. SCOTUS have burned their credibility to get it to this point. Are they going to go further or do they accept a lost cause. This evidence will come out.
