John Roberts demands swift response from Jack Smith to Trump's immunity claim [View all] Goodheart Feb 2024 OP

It's not bullshit, it's standard procedure Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #1

...and allow Smith to frame his response in light of Trump's appeal. CincyDem Feb 2024 #3

"Standard procedure" is bullshit. Goodheart Feb 2024 #10

It's not bullshit. It's the way the process works. Ocelot II Feb 2024 #14

It doesn't bother me. Nt Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #17

Nor me. What's bullshit is a lot of bad and inaccurate reporting Ocelot II Feb 2024 #27

The only remotely unusual thing in his appeal is request for stay for en banc hearing Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #36

Of course the motivation is always delay, Ocelot II Feb 2024 #39

Wouldn't it be nice if reporters and media commentators knew something about the legal process Ocelot II Feb 2024 #13

Yes, that would be nice. yagotme Feb 2024 #32

Some do, but the OP insists upon citing a clickbait source. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2024 #33

I dislike Raw Story for the reasons you cite. Ocelot II Feb 2024 #40

Relax! Its not a demand, its part of the system getagrip_already Feb 2024 #2

I suspect Jack Smith had his response ready before it was appealed to the SC. That b,eing said JohnSJ Feb 2024 #4

Most of it, but he couldnt know all the bs ..... getagrip_already Feb 2024 #6

I am just not optimistic with this Supreme Court, and after what happened with Dobbs, and what JohnSJ Feb 2024 #15

Clearly, they will *never* rule that Trump has immunity Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #18

I agree they won't rule that he has immunity, but I am not sure if the ruling will be delayed until JohnSJ Feb 2024 #21

Trump hasn't filed his appeal yet. He's only asked for a stay of the Court of Appeals decision onenote Feb 2024 #23

I agree on the outcome, I just don't think they will rush the review, and most likely the events involving his JohnSJ Feb 2024 #29

Roberts is nothing but a right wing lackey, pretending -sometimes - to be independent in thought. lark Feb 2024 #5

I demand a rapid response from the SC Alpeduez21 Feb 2024 #7

This is standard procedure - nothing to get worked up about. Ocelot II Feb 2024 #8

This is my optimistic take edhopper Feb 2024 #9

Weird take.... Happy Hoosier Feb 2024 #11

He demands this because why? Does he think Smith is going to sit on his thumbs? Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #12

There was no "demand." This was just bad reporting. Ocelot II Feb 2024 #16

As I said, that's what it seems. Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #20

That's my point... such "normal procedure" should not exist. Goodheart Feb 2024 #22

Roberts didn't "demand" anything. That was bad reporting. Ocelot II Feb 2024 #24

For the umpteenth time, there is no "demand". There is a deadline. Smith can file before the deadline. He can choose not onenote Feb 2024 #25

Raw Story is a clickbait rag Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #38

Thank you. NT mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2024 #41

Robert's legacy is shit, and I hope that all these misdeeds are rehashed at his Baitball Blogger Feb 2024 #19

How is setting a deadline -- shorter than required -- for Smith to respond a "misdeed"? onenote Feb 2024 #26

The Raw Story article gets it wrong. euphorb Feb 2024 #28

Standard operating procedure for RawStory, which really should be called WrongStory onenote Feb 2024 #35

It's not bullshit, it's a delay tactic. Republicans are weak on crime Emile Feb 2024 #30

How is it a delay tactic to give Smith a week to respond when Smith can respond sooner if he wants? onenote Feb 2024 #34

I bet Jack Smith is already prepared to do this. It seems it's SOP. RKP5637 Feb 2024 #31

Not at all. H2O Man Feb 2024 #37

Making the effort to understand an unfamiliar system is work. Ocelot II Feb 2024 #42

I agree 100% H2O Man Feb 2024 #44

They saw insurrection right in their own back yard and pooped on Colorado. GreenWave Feb 2024 #43
