Yeah I think Trump is doomed. I don’t think the SCOTUS will touch such a toxic decision with a ten foot pole.
Of course this is just a stupid delay tactic by his defense attorneys.
I do think the current judge can simply refuse to wait. I don’t know if they will or not. The SCOTUS can also simply refuse to make any ruling and just challenge the defense to appeal the case up to them after the current judge rules.
Personally I would expect 2 or 3. Most likely 3, so they can appeal to sensibilities and say they plugged up the executive power loophole until an act of Congress modifies the constitution thusly.
