Peter Navarro, the Donald Trump adviser sentenced to incarceration following his conviction for defying a congressional subpoena, has asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a federal appeals court rejected his bid to put the four-month prison sentence on hold.

In an emergency application filed with the Supreme Court late Friday, Navarro's lawyers say his case marks "the first time in our nation’s history" that "a senior presidential advisor has been convicted of contempt of Congress after asserting executive privilege over a congressional subpoena." The subpoena was issued by the House Jan. 6 committee in February 2022.

The Supreme Court said the Justice Department should respond to Navarro's filing by Monday at 2 p.m. He has been ordered to report to a Bureau of Prisons facility in Miami before 2 p.m. on Tuesday.

1. Who did he file his appeal with? Roberts or thomas?

He had two choices, Washington or Florida. Just curious which he chose?

[onenote]

7. He had one choice -- Roberts

Roberts is the Justice with jurisdiction over emergency appeals from orders of the DC Circuit. That's who he filed with.

There is no nexus to Florida.

[getagrip_already]

9. The nexus is that is the prison he is reporting to

I wouldn't put it past him to try that.

[onenote]

14. The reason he's being sentenced to a Florida prison is that the Bureau of Prisons, not the trial court,

decides on the prison and BOP has a policy of sentencing people to a prison within 500 miles of their domicile. But that is irrelevant to the issue of what Justice receives an application for emergency relief. That is solely based on what court issued the order to which the application for emergency relief pertains. And while you wouldn't put it past Navarro to try going to Thomas, he didn't. He went to Roberts because, if he had gone to Thomas, Thomas would have handed it off to Roberts. And even Thomas usually refers such applications to the entire court and doesn't decide them unilaterally.

Facts matter.

2. That's NOT the role of the Supreme Court, Peter!

You were tried and sentenced in a Court of Law based on the evidence that you were found Guilty of the crime you partook in. Can't do the TIME? Perhaps you should not have done the CRIME!

Go suck an egg, Peter!

[onenote]

8. Why isn't it the role of the Supreme Court?

The Court receives emergency stay requests all the time. Sometimes they grant them, more often they don't. In this instance, I don't know what they'll do, but my guess is that since he would have to report to jail on Tuesday and the Court will only receive the government's opposition to the application later today, the Court will grant a brief "administrative stay" delaying his reporting date until the Court has an opportunity to review and discuss the application and the opposition.

11. They usually dont hear them at all... immediately denied

In this case they want a response from the prosecution, so they are considering it.

Not a good sign.

[onenote]

12. You are very wrong.

So far this term, the Court has received 25 applications for stay or injunction in non-death penalty cases and a response has been requested in every case except one. Requesting a response doesn't signal that the application will be granted -- most applications, despite a response being requested, are denied after the court considers the application and response.

3. Hey Navarro

Serve your time and STFU you whiny snowflake!

Geez these entitled assholes go running to the SCOTUS any time things don’t go their way like it’s their own personal get out of jail free card.

[malaise]

4. I'll be watching this with much interest

For sure

[MarineCombatEngineer]

5. If he doesn't want to go to jail, he should

[pwb]

6. None of this was suppose to happen was it Pete?

Trumps reelection will insure you can say and do whatever you wanted? You were so confident eh?

[Midnight Writer]

10. Here's how you do it, Pete.

Just take a $20 bill and fold it up so you can hide it in the palm of your hand. Then, with the $20 hidden in your hand, you shake hands with Justice Thomas and push the money into his hand. Don't worry. Clarence knows how to take the money without anyone noticing. And hey! If anyone does notice, what the hell are they going to do about it? He's a frickin' Supreme Court Justice. They don't get in trouble. They are the epitome of integrity.
