Trump needs four justices to agree to take the case, and send it back to the judge for trail to proceed in the interim. Five to take it and keep the stay in place.
Did you read the DC courts decision, I’m no law scholar but it looked pretty solid. Trumps lawyers had sub par arguments. The double jeopardy thing got blown out of the water. And a president having absolute immunity sounds ridiculous.

If you're talking to me, no, I didn't read it.I don't doubt you.
Just a shame that the US is a true banana republic. By any standard. By any measure.
I expect the full circuit to agree with the 3 judge panel and either SCOTUS will affirm or refuse to consider. I can't see any court ruling a President has full immunity for any crimes committed that were not part of his official duties. Then the criminal case will have to determine if Trump acted in his official capacity or not. I believe he did not. His actions were those of candidate Trump, not President Trump.
nikonoclast sounds like he is referring to the 14th amendment issue and there I expect the court to rule Trump is eligible to run for office and not even address the 14th amendment by ruling Trump has not been charged or given due process in regards to any insurrection claims. But they could surprise me with some other verdict.
As Ferris said, just wait and see at this point.
The voices in my head tell me I am perfectly fine.
no matter the verdict we are now officially a banana republic. thank you democrat and republican sheep. i would expect this from putin or xi but not in america.
