He was moving out.

It's a bullshit argument.

But I'm sure HIS judge will grant it. However, isn't there already an indefinite pause on that case? Does anyone really think that case would ever proceed forward, even without his packed court's ruling that he is a king?

I don't.

He'll skate on all of it because the courts will let him. And the voters will let him (well, we'll see about that, but I'm not feeling too confident if all they're doing is worrying about Biden). Seems their priorities are mighty well fucked up.
