28. You need to understand the process

Mon Nov 18, 2019, 02:31 PM

Nov 2019

The Supreme Court has not agreed to hear the case. And Democrats have agreed to the stay.

Earlier in the day, attorneys for House Democrats said in a letter they would not oppose a temporary delay in enforcing the subpoena to allow the court time to consider arguments on both sides. The committee said in the letter that it would provide its response on Friday.

This is a process decision. It does not state that the Court will hear the case.

Hold on a sec... PJMcK Nov 2019 #27

I was sure they would not take it HAB911 Nov 2019 #3

Does halting the order mean that the Supreme Court will take it, or skip fox Nov 2019 #8

Yup.... they have yet to decide if they are taking it. Happy Hoosier Nov 2019 #13

don't know, talking heads are chewing it over now, lol HAB911 Nov 2019 #14

It's pretty normal to issue a stay pending appeal jberryhill Nov 2019 #23

They haven't taken or denied it yet. This is a routine action already agreed to by the House, whilst Princess Turandot Nov 2019 #15

Yeah, it would be surprising if they took it. Imperialism Inc. Nov 2019 #21

Personally, I think it would be surprising if they don't take it. onenote Nov 2019 #35

I've heard from some very fair lawyers, that they think the SC will still take the case... cbdo2007 Nov 2019 #32

Yep, this is routine, don't panic. backscatter712 Nov 2019 #30

Fuck them to hell. Bunch of traitors with Trump. triron Nov 2019 #6

I guessing this is a temporary stay. Nevilledog Nov 2019 #7

Next they will just declare Trump as King. triron Nov 2019 #9

Isn't this standard response to these issues, while they figure out what to do? cbdo2007 Nov 2019 #10

Even going this far? triron Nov 2019 #19

To recap, this is just granting a temporary stay while SCOTUS decides if it will hear the appeal. Princess Turandot Nov 2019 #11

I feel better now. Thanks for the clarification. Guess I can't call them traitors yet. triron Nov 2019 #16

thanks Princess CatWoman Nov 2019 #18

msnbc said it's not a ruling on the merit mucifer Nov 2019 #12

So there is hope this SCOTUS may actually rule based on the "merit"? While I'll remain hopeful, KPN Nov 2019 #20

agreed mucifer Nov 2019 #22

All down to Roberts really. Imperialism Inc. Nov 2019 #25

And maybe Gorsuch. KPN Nov 2019 #26

Everybody calm down! This is not a big deal StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #29

How long do they usually consider the case before taking it up or dropping the stay? jcgoldie Nov 2019 #39

I have no faith in the present Supreme Court. It is built to accept whatever mfcorey1 Nov 2019 #31
