1. That should take a year or so

Frustrating to say the least.

10. Could be.....

He first files for an en banc hearing, anywhere from a week to a month to be denied.

Then scotus will likely decline to hear the case.

There is really nothing they need to decide. This theory doesn't appear in the constitution or federal case law, and is invented solely as a distraction.

It has been dealt with at the appellate level. Moreso if they go the en banc route and get a 9-0 shut down.

2. My bet is that SCOTUS won't take the appeal. n/t

3. He will wait until the final day to appeal.

DELAY! Then i hope the SC will just refuse his appeal. (FINGERS CROSSED here)

7. The final day is next Monday 2/12. Nt

4. So, I reckon Judge Chutkan will await word from the Supreme Court before setting a trial date?

I look for Clarence and Samuel to keep Chutkan hanging until after the election.

11. It takes 4 votes to accept a case in scotus...

Not sure scotus really wants to review this case. They have bigger headaches with his name all over it.

5. No, en banc hearing by full appeals court is next, then SCOTUS

The opinion appears to be written to facilitate denial of cert by both.

Trump has until February 12 to file appeal for en banc, or stay is lifted.

EDIT: just read that stay will be lifted unless Trump appeals directly to SCOTUS, so guessing he will skip the en banc step.

6. SCOTUS could end all this Cheeto Drama by refusing to take the case

Let Appeals Court ruling stand.

9. It would be great

if SCOTUS could put us all out of our misery and signal they won’t take the case but I don’t think that’s how it works.

They can’t rule on an appeal that hasn’t been presented yet. Let’s just hope when they do get it, it’s a quick decision.

8. If SC takes this appeal then we have our

answer. Scary times

12. And threaten the SC again.

Gangster, thug, rapist, con man says what?
