Why is the Appeals Court so slow in ruling on immunity?

[kentuck]

There is an older Judge on the panel, appointed by a Republican, and in my opinion, she is hesitant to go along with the other two judges on the panel. They want a unanimous decision, so as they do not look like it is political, since the other two judges were appointed by a Democratic president. They do not want to look partisan in such an important decision.

However, this is the delay that Trump is looking for. It has already pushed the Jury date ahead to April, or probably later.

Any more delay and it will appear that the Justice System has decided to let the voters decide the fate of Donald Trump in the next election. If he loses, then the trials and appeals will continue on course. If he wins....

2. It did not seem like there was a split with the 3 judges.

It could be they want to make it airtight.

3. It's a momentous case. They're being careful.

Perhaps they should be.

4. Why are all courts so slow?

There is never, so far as I can tell, any sense of urgency to get anything done in court.

stuck in jail longer than they should be while their lives tick away would agree with you.

5. They're trying to figure out how to grant only TFG...

Immunity.

That's the only reason I can think of being reasonable.

7. Is it taking long?

What is the normal time for a big case like this?

8. Is it actually slow? Or is it just frustration that things don't wrap up within the hour like on Law and Order?

10. The Supreme Court will probably let their ruling stand

They know this. So, they want to be careful and ironclad.

It's an important case, almost without precedent. Lots of i's and t's will want attention in whatever they hand down.

If Michael gets away with that right-hand turn, I am done with this show.

15. You're right. I hadn't thought of that.

I was just wondering if Habba’s fit was gonna slay.

(Did I say that right? )
