To the surprise of no one but still worth picking up, the New York Times’s Maggie Haberman reports a Trump spokesworm told her they will be taking the DC Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision ending the fat former president’s bid for immunity from prosecution to the US Supreme Court.
Smart guy Steve Vladeck expects Los Supremos “to rule on the stay application either late next week or early the week of February 19. So we should know a lot more about the timing of the next steps sometime in the next two weeks.” Former Solicitor General Neal Katyal tells MSNBC he thinks they’re going to toss Trump’s petition right off the bat and the trial can begin in the spring.
It’s not all bad news for Trump though, as under that scenario then President Biden has just until the end of the month to order SEAL Team Six to storm Mar-a-Lago and take no prisoners.
