NEW: Special counsel Jack Smith files his SCOTUS brief in opposition to Trump's request for a stay in the presidential-immunity case—six days early

"A President’s alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election and thwart the peaceful transfer of power to his successor should be the last place to recognize a novel form of absolute immunity from federal criminal law."


Here is the old timeline I posted back in Feb 6. We are now in the Left column. arguments are now April 22. So ALito was able to drag it out about a month. you can adjust it as you see fit.

But could have her starter gun loaded and everything ready to start the Trial as soon as makes a decision because everyone got a few extra months

trial restarting in 90 Days.

Judge has already announced that she will re-start the trial about 90 days after she gets it back, election calendar be damned. A briefing schedule for which acts immunity is claimed under the newly-announced rule can fit within that time.

Clock restarted in after returns ruling to appeals court and they quickly send it back to Judge to reassess

Very likely not have any hearings until after the Election

mission accomplished by and team Trump

Judge Tanya schedules Aug 16 status conference in Trump election conspiracy case here in DC

Trial start in October?

DOJ asks for more time to figure out its position on next steps for the immunity fight in the Trump election obstruction case. Judge had asked for proposals by tomorrow and set a hearing for next week. Special counsel asks to delay deadline until 8/30

Judge quickly approved Smith's three-week delay, a tacit acknowledgment that the case is unlikely to produce significant new developments this year, and a trial is a long way off. Next update Aug 30th

Also is refusing to accept amicus briefs from outside parties (looks at Kash Patel and Judge Cannon)

@Kinnison

It's so strange that when ordinary people go to court, they have to just follow the judge's schedule, and if a lawyer has a problem the judge just rules on it then and there rather than setting a hearing for three months later.

@DavidSalo

Ordinary people do not spend Millions on lawyer fees to file frivolous appeals all the way to the Supreme court as a delay tactic
