    No oral arguments until late April. This looks like cover for a delay that will push trial past the election.

      That’s a win win for the SC.

      He wins the election, they can say “Whelp, makes no sense to rule on this until he’s out of office again” and hope he dies before dick tatering his way into a third term.

      He loses the election, they can decide to rule either way depending on how much grease he’s got left in his pockets with no worries about repercussions while they also hope he dies.

      Oral arguments this April would generally imply they release their ruling in or by June though before going to recess. Might still be time to get the trial done if they follow their typical schedule.

      Yup. CNN just said these case is typically take up to 2 years. Even if it’s fast tracked it’ll be at least a year.
