After the Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit unanimously ruled that the Malignant Loser did not have immunity for criminal acts while President, specifically those committed on January 6, it was hoped that the Republican-stacked Supreme Court might decline to review the case and send the case back to the District Court immediately for trial. Unfortunately, the Court agreed to hear the Malignant Loser's appeal, but not until April 22, when oral arguments are scheduled. SCOTUSblog has a timeline for the case, starting from when the Malignant Loser was indicted last August.
While legal experts described that drawn-out schedule as "expedited", it likely moves the District Court trial date (assuming the Court doesn't side with the Malignant Loser) well into the summer of 2024, with considerable doubt that it would conclude before the election. There may be some economies in the schedule later regarding the District Court, but this ruling by the Supreme Court is a gift to the would-be dictator as it moves him closer to an election that he hopes will rescue him from justice. Stay tuned.
