Extremist psychopath Supreme Court Clarence Thomas has given the Department of Justice until 5pm on Tuesday, October 11th to respond to the petition from disgraced former President Trump to lift the partial stay on the lower court order that had briefly blocked the federal criminal investigation into his theft of top secret documents from the White House, Axios reports.

As legal smart guy Steve Vladeck points out however, lifting the stay wouldn’t actually do anything because the petition seeks relief on some tiny narrow jurisdictional issue that we’re not even going to pretend to understand. “In short, Trump is asking [The Supreme Court] to vacate *part* of the Eleventh Circuit’s stay in the Mar-a-Lago case. In essence, he’s arguing that the 100+ classified documents at issue *should* be part of the pile before Judge Dearie, and that under the 11th Circuit’s stay, they’re not,” Vladeck wrote Tuesday, adding “Critically, he’s *not* arguing that the 11th Circuit was wrong to stay that part of Cannon’s order that *enjoined* DOJ from using those documents. So the relief he’s seeking wouldn’t stop DOJ from continuing to do whatever it’s doing; it would just *also* add to the Dearie mess,” which kind of makes it all sound like Trump’s just doing this simply to make it look like he’s “taking this to the Supreme Court,” but left it up to his lawyers to figure out what to actually write in the petition. This is what they came up with.
