FTA:

“The court denied without comment special counsel Jack Smith’s request asking the justices to circumvent the normal appeals court process and quickly decide the question, which looms large in Trump’s prosecution in Washington over allegations of election interference.”

    Or tired of all the trump shit being flooded their way like the rest of the US.

    I know they are a majority conservative and want their candidate, but even if elected it’s not going to stop cases about him having to go to them and loading them up with more and more work. I’d be annoyed.

      I’m confused. I’m sure SCOTUS is annoyed at having to deal with so many cases from just 1 person. I’m annoyed at my job when 1 customer makes a lot of extra work for us. That’s like, every damn day at most jobs, though.

      They can decline to take cases which means that they are agreeing with the lower court rulings. The only other option is for law enforcement to not pursue charges against a felonious former president.

        Yea that’s the point. At some point could just be lazy and not take it and divert responsibility by agreeing with the lower courts, a lot easier then actually hearing it.

        At work I do a lot to avoid having more work come my way. If I can push it off. 9 times out of 10 I’m pushing it somewhere else.
