Here's the actual document the Trump team filed as argument against Jack Smith's request that the Supreme Court take up the issue quickly:

Does anyone have a link to Jack Smith's request to the Supreme Court? I'd like to compare his arguments against the defendant's. tia

In addition to taking Jack Smith's request, the Supreme Court agreed to "review an appellate ruling that revived a charge against three defendants accused of obstruction of an official proceeding. The charge refers to the disruption of Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory over Trump."

Trump is also accused with that same charge, so the ruling would affect his case too.

Trump has cases before the Supreme Court like never seen before. No one has ever accomplished such a thing as that. Seems to call for a "sir" story.

Supreme Court will hear a case that could undo Capitol riot charge against hundreds, including Trump

The court’s decision to weigh in on the obstruction charge could threaten the start of Trump’s trial, currently scheduled for March 4.

Just reading the first line tells me this response ain't gonna fly!!! -- The response states that DOJ is attempting to try, convict and sentence Trump prior to the election, and in doing so is interfering in the 2024 election. but what argument can they legitimately make? none------

The judge overseeing former Trump's election subversion case has stayed proceedings while the appeals process out. Judge Chutkan says this doesn't prevent her from enforcing the gag order, protective orders in the case or Trump's conditions of release.

Michigan prosecutors met with Chesebro last week ... CNN has the tapes of the interview (some linked in the article).


The “photo-op … gone south,” as Chesebro called the December 16, 2020, meeting, reveals a previously unknown instance of Trump hearing directly that he lost – which could factor into his federal election subversion trial. But it also highlights how others in Trump’s orbit leaned into his delusions and aided his quixotic effort to cling onto power.

In Trump’s federal case, prosecutors highlighted the pattern of Trump allies repeatedly telling him that he lost the election.

The new revelations from Chesebro’s sit-down with Michigan investigators add to the list.

Donald Trump urges the Supreme Court to reject Jack Smith's motion for expedited consideration of the immunity appeal. His lawyers say Smith has no standing and his petition should be denied.

The basis for that argument is that Smith won the district court's ruling and, per Trump, has no basis to appeal the favorable result. They're asking SCOTUS to let the appeals court process play out first, which would surely slow things down by weeks.

I wish the former guy and his lawyers would all end up in jail for massive abuse (for decades) of the legal system. Moo.

Trump's fate now rests in the hands of the Supreme Court. Here are their 3 options.

With Colorado's Supreme Court ruling Trump ineligible to hold office, the question of his qualifications is being kicked to SCOTUS.

Why doesn’t that fill me with the knowledge that it will be dealt with fairly and justly?

Apologies if this has already been posted!

It shouldn't make any difference. Judges of the Supreme Court should be so professional that they deal with the law only, and are not influenced by political loyalties. I hate that we are in the place where the legal system has been used as a political weapon and now we doubt this most basic structure of US law.
However, it is a vulnerable system in the US, where judges are appointed by political leaders rather than by rising through the ranks of their own college like they do in democratic countries. Political leaders are not qualified to select the best people to put into these positions.
