Choosing not to hear an appeal when it is not yet ripe hardly constitutes enabling efforts at delay.

Smith will now have to wait on the D.C. Circuit to act on Trump's immunity appeal
The Supreme Court has denied Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to expedite review of Donald Trump's appeal of Judge Chutkan's denial of Trump's motion to dismiss based on immunity.

and yes..delay..hopefully the DC Appeals court..by then (January) they will have enough evidence to expedite..

(8,316 posts)The issue was that once they do rule, then THAT decision will inevitably be appealed, all the way through the normal judicial process, until it hits the Supreme Court, which is why Smith was saying let's get this over with and you all go ahead and make your decision now.

(966 posts)Might be better for Appeals Court to hear it first.
We got a good draw on judges.
IMHO, the more case law the SC has to work with, in this instance anyway, the better.

(8,316 posts)So, the Supreme Court's decision today just gives Trump more time to delay his court trial.
