Raw Story just broke the news that our esteemed Supreme Court has now taken up Trump’s totally bogus appeal in his NY State case to avoid sentencing this Friday in Judge Merchan’s court, and I love their headline:
'Let's not read anything into that': Trump's Supreme Court case spurs replies from experts
Legal analysts are up in arms Wednesday morning after the U.S. Supreme Court revealed it would accept arguments for Donald Trump's New York state case, which some say should have gone to the New York State Supreme Court instead.
..
Harvard emeritus Professor Laurence Tribe, who taught Constitutional Law, commented, "Predictably, President-elect Trump has asked the Court he has carefully stacked to accord him all the privileges of the office he has yet to occupy. The legal flimsiness of his request isn’t likely to matter much with these Justices. Hope I’m proven wrong, but I’m not optimistic."
Legal reporter Cristian Farias commented, "I really hope Sonia Sotomayor, the circuit justice for the jurisdiction that covers Manhattan, and a former assistant district attorney herself, can inform her colleagues that this is not how any of this works. If anyone can knock some sense into them, it’s her. Maybe."
Senior Lawfare editor Roger Parloff politely asked, "Let's not read anything into the fact that Trump's SCOTUS docket number is ... 666."
