Supreme Court rejects former President Donald Trump's request to intervene in Mar-a-Lago docs fight

[kpete]

—
The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an emergency request from former President Donald Trump to intervene in the dispute over classified documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in August.

Trump had asked the justices to reverse a federal appeals court and allow a special master to review about 100 documents marked classified, a move that could have opened the door for his legal team to review the records and argue that they should be off limits to prosecutors in a criminal case.

But in a brief order, the court denied the request.

4. That's a big "WOW!!!!!!"

It was a 'quick filing' that Klown Klarance was to handle - and many 'assumed' that he'd grease the skid and make the request happen. Granting that request would have continued the "SURVIVAL PLANS OF TRUMP INC: - Stall, stall, stall, stall, stall............"

Again - WOW!!!!!

6. So, please clarify for me.

Do we hate the USSC, or love it? Or does it depend on the ruling? We here at DU seem to be all over the map on this.

[Wednesdays]

13. We love/hate SCOTUS like we love/hate a broken clock

Being right twice in a day, out of 86,400 possible seconds.

[Pathwalker]

14. How about we simply approve of this ruling?

It doesn't have to be an either/or thing.

7. Wait for it...

Now he'll call Clarence, Brett, and Amy "traitors." Fucker C. will throw a hissy fit. Clarence, Brett, and Amy will get threats.

8. Oh no-- internet trolls claimed the SC would vote in favor of Trump

and nullify the entire investigation!

So sad!!

[onenote]

15. Some on DU came close to suggesting the same thing

despite the fact that SCOTUS has failed to go along with Trumps arguments relating to the election over and over.

[Kingofalldems]

16. Some stated the SC would end the entire investigation.

[Faux pas]

9. Kickin' with Gusto!

[Hekate]

10. Kick!

11. One fight stopped. But they'll keep coming.

12. Trump's temper tantrum on this should be epic. nt
