36. The only remotely unusual thing in his appeal is request for stay for en banc hearing

Wed Feb 14, 2024, 01:37 PM

Feb 2024

Trump wants to be able to delay as much as possible, including not skipping the en banc step, however, the lower court only allowed their stay to remain in force if Trump went directly to SCOTUS.

Trump wants SCOTUS to reverse that, which would, at most, get him another 4-6 weeks, tops.

Otherwise, everything is unfolding according to standard procedure.

Nothing to panic about, nor spurt in unfocused, blind outrage.

If anything, we should be stocking up on popcorn, and resting our voices so that we can cheer loudly when the next round of Trump’s losing inevitably happens.

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

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

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

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
