18. It's good. The amicus brief (layman's understanding)

sez that Scalia wrote a majority opinion that only some types of appeals can be heard right away, and some (like tfg's claim of immunity) should be heard after the verdict. And now the judges want to hear more about that! If they wind up agreeing with the amicus brief, it would cut off that particular delaying tactic. Goes immediately back to Chutkin (sp?).

Edit: Apparently there's more than 1 amicus. See post #5 by Onenote.

"discrete" rather than "discreet", which I interpret to mean limited by boundaries nt spooky3 Jan 2024 #4

"Discrete" means separate & distinct. It is not the same as "discreet." tblue37 Jan 2024 #11
